Love the catch 22 of console launches.
Absolutely fuck all games worth playing, but people have to buy the console for more games to get made.

Very true, for a related example, I'm quite a dedicated Nintendo fan and even I haven't bought a WiiU yet, since I haven't seen any WiiU games advertised that I might actually want.
Also, nice name change Grey, almost missed that.

Yep, that sounds about right. One mistake that Sony hasn't fixed when it comes to the Playstation.
Totally was, was even a meme at one point.Metalrocks said:
On-topic, I'd think Sony would want to implement some back compatibility to the system, if there isn't a lot worth playing exclusive to the system right now.
If someone is going to pay 400 dollars for a console, they'd like something to do with it right away. Otherwise, it's sorta like games with game of the years editions: Sure, you could just get the base game sooner, but if you wait, you might get a better deal
Yeah that seems about right. I do remember a time when consoles were released with great launch titles, but those times are long gone.
Hey, she grew her leg back! And lost an arm. Does the lost panel 5 show her slapping the kid round the head?
I have a feeling it'll be really un-PC[footnote]As in Politically Correct, but the 'other' PC might work too. D'ohohoh![/footnote].TechTim said:
oooooooo The console wars are heating up! Not really, but year. 
Really is pretty funny how the PS4 was allowed to simply coast on the tsunami of good-will that flooded Sony due to how absolutely atrocious the XBone was when it was first announced. Sony really didn't have to do anything except sit back and bask in the good press of "Hey, we're not Xbox! We're the other guys!" while the internet tore the XBone to shreds over all it's anti-consumer BS. And now it turns out the PS4 wasn't anything to write home about either and is having a slew of various problems and everyone starts remembering why the 360 won the last console war. Now that the XBone has morphed into the Xbox 180, pulling back every feature that it was damned for, the only thing that really makes the PS4 more appealing is that it's $100 less.

But at least the PS3 allowed you backwards compatibility on most PS2 games (Soul Calibur 3 not included, which annoyed me and my friends greatly). The PS3 only dropped backwards compatibility when the slim version was released.Metalrocks said:
Actually, only with certain models. Mine cannot play PS2 games, even with the app downloaded.Gethsemani said:
Speaking of, does the PS4 have ANY back compatibility, or are you stuck with the PS4 library? Like, I know not with PS3, but with PS1 (which has been on all home console playstations) or PS2.
I was pretty late to this generation (although I guess that is now officially "last generation"), so how bad was it in comparison?
That said, weren't we all aware of what the launch titles were for both new consoles? Why would anybody buy one if they didn't see a handful of games that they were interested in? Or is it just that the ones that seemed interesting turned out to be bad?
I suspect the same reaction will be had for the Xbox One though, I didn't see many decent games for either that were to be released the day they came out.
