The PS4 is about to reach an all-time high.
There is a very important thing that Sony has made better in the past than Xbox or Nintendo: the long-term support of your systems. Well, at least consoles (Sony's track record in support of irendein type for your other projects is a bit spotty to express it kindly). The PlayStation and PlayStation 2 were supported for supported _ years_ After their successors had come to the market (which is partly responsible for their record sales), the PS3 moved to the PS4 with the most strongest year in the market, and now the PS4 seems to do the same.
This year, the PS5 comes to the market, but the PS4 is simply Not slowed down. In fact, there is a very legitimate argument that this could be the strongest year that the console had so far on the market. A meeting of time and circumstances as well as an overlap of long-awaited projects of first and third-party providers, all started together have come together to trigger the perfect storm.
I do not really need it, but I will do it. Let's make a list. We look at final Fantasy 7 Remake, Resident Evil 3, Doom Eternal, NiOH 2, Yakuza 7: Like a Dragon, Persona 5 Royal, Wachdog Legion, Gods and Monsters, Stories of Rise, Eldenring, Cyberpunk 2077, Dreams, Spirit of Tsushima, _ and of course, _The last of us part 2. How, Puh guys, is that a strong list right there. This is the kind of things you expect from a console in the bloom of your life, not one that will give way to a successor in a few months. Unfortunately, a few of them - possibly the games that are likely to be the best of them - exclusively for the PS4.
It is really wonderful and suggests the idea that the last year before the successor of the PS4 actually the best thing that a console ever had. It is not that competition is very hard there. The only console that was in the past in the past is the PS3, and yes, the PS3 had a damn good last year with himmelfahrt of the war god, rain, puppet player, Beyond Two Souls, Bioshock Infinite, Grand Theft Auto V , Gran Turismo 6, and of course, The last of us. But the thing is, this lineup is basically taken on The last of us and gta These are great games that are among the best at all, but can not withstand the rush of the PS4 this year. I think the argument is fair and true: the last year of the PS4 ist the best one had ever had a console.
This especially speaks that Sony is consistently successful and so many controversy and excitement can survive, which others could under pressure: because ultimately they provide the core product for those who deal with the medium for: video games. If you buy a PlayStation, you always have the certainty of getting a list of great games, z _ years_ and that they do not lack new things, just because on the horizon is something new. Sony could annoy the people because of the PS5 logo or the fact that they skip E3, or because they did not have a word about how it feels, or whatever, but their nuclear audience has no choice aber to be happy Because when it comes to it, Sony delivers one thing above all: games. Many of them. Great. Consequent.
This is the reason why the fans of Sony are so committed and willing to follow Sony in record numbers through the console market, because Sony has earned this loyalty and trust. Keeping the fans in a mood and to get into great games this year will probably help you to change to the PS5 later this year.
It seems as if competitors also recognized the importance of these long-term support. Microsoft has planned, for example, a great year for the Xbox One this year, with numerous exclusive (ori and the will of the voice light, flight simulator, Gears Tactics, tell me why, _ and of course, _halo infinite), but also benefits from Most games of third-party providers receiving Sony, as well as the great late Japanese support. Not only that, but also confirmed that all first-party games will be released for the next few years on Xbox One and Xbox One X, even if the X comes out. Simply expressed, that means that they are not cut off just because they have not spent a lot of money for upgrading to the latest and best: they still receive all new Microsoft games on the foreseeable future.
Nintendo has also understood this and it was even reacted almost in frustrating dimensions. The Nintendo 3DS was supported for supported _ years_ after the publication of the switch (actually the switch is now three years old, and the 3DS is it) immer still supported by Nintendo). Nintendo brought up several high-profile 3DS on the market _Exclusive also after the start of the switch: fire emblem echoes: shadow of Valentia, Metroid: Samus returns, Pokemon Ultrasun / Ultramoon, Luigis Villa, Yoshi and Poochy's woolen, Wariovar Gold, Mario and Luigi: Bowsers insider history, _ In addition to 3DS / switch Multiplats like _Sushi strike or kapite Kröte, do not even count foreign tariffs as monster Hunter stories or radiant Historia or the flood of etrian Odyssey Games Atlus starts on the matter. That may have been frustrating for many people who wanted to experience these games on their shiny new switch, but Nintendo knew how important it is to make sure someone who recently bought the 3DS has not disturbed.
The good news is so that the competition has recognized this, which can only be beneficial for the long-term health of their systems. The bad news is that at the moment you are not near Sony's bar, which has just been raised even further. Maybe we will be surprised in the future how great the last year is for the switch, but at the moment there is a light gap that Sony separates from the others in this regard.
