Good to see that Sony (and Nintendo) are willing to give concrete sales figures, and not some vague "We had good numbers this past weekend!"
Eh, better to make a mistake (which, btw, the Pro isn't) four years into a generation that's winding down, than to make a mistake from the onset and try to gain ground 4 years later.
Unlike MS with the X, Sony isn't treating the Pro like some generation restart. So long as the base is growing (be it PS4 or Pro), they'll have a larger pool of gamers to pull from with the PS5.
Meh. For my money the Switch plus BotW and Odyssey was worth far more than the subtle difference I'm seeing here.
@Skull521
Yeah, we feel ashamed about having to play slightly uglier multiplats in addition to the highest rated exclusives this gen outside of BotW and Odyssey.
YAS!!! And keep the music the same too!
@Kionic
Just stop. Just a cursory glance at the first pic shows more detail in GTS; there's almost as much detail in just the clear part of the taillight than the entirety of Forza 7's screen. And in the second screen Forza 7 is sporting noticeable polygon seams. The lug nut slots look like straight up hexagons, and they lack any sense of depth.
Couldn't help but think "Dammit Sony, why'd you shutter Evolution before they could make Motorstorm PS4???" while watching this.
Both sides get triggered. Look at what's going on in the NFL now. A bunch of players decide to peacefully and quietly protest by kneeling, and it triggers the right-wing, Republican President, sending him frothing at the mouth and attacking their first amendment rights by suggesting they be fired.
The last generation where B-list games still mattered. Now, a game has to have a budget of at least $60M and score no lower than 90 on Metacritic to be considered buy-worthy.
@XStation4pio_Pro
Yeah! How dare Sony not throw all their resources into making a mega-powerful mid-generation upgrade!

Um, in the title of the article.
While I plan to get and XB1X (mainly for the Forza Horizon series), being able to play The Last of Us Part II, Spider-Man, God of War, etc., kinda trounces playing a slightly prettier version of a multiplat.
Got this feeling GT Sport will sustain the duration of PS4, and we won't see GT7 till PS5.
He's been a dick every since he popped into the spotlight with the first Gears over a decade ago ... he snubbed Phil Harrison at an event once, and regularly dogged Killzone and its fans. People only took note of his dickishness when he announced LawBreakers for the PS4.
Every Gears of War he's worked on is generally rated higher than Gears 4.
Too funny! PS3 was never at any point more than 10 million behind the 360 (despite launching a full year later), and the doom-and-gloom was almost deafening. Yet you're trying to say being at least 30 million behind is no big deal?
PS4 has been in the lead since the start of the generation. They've experienced little market competition, but it hasn't stopped them from delivering. I mean, you'd have to go back to PS2's glory days to find a year where Sony delivered as many quality exclusives as they did this year, and there's still 4 more months to go.

TItanfall launched in March, with little to no competition. Titanfall 2 launched at the tail end of October, around the same time as Watch Dogs 2, Dishonored 2, COD Infinite, Gears of War 4, and EA's own BF1.

What Sony has done is hardly the same as what MS intended. PSNow and PSVue are optional, tertiary services to the overall PlayStation experience. Always-online formed the core backbone to MS' original idea for the One; it was essential to the system's DNA.
