There’s some decent alliteration in the phrase ‘the best place to play’, but we’re pretty sure that all three major console manufacturers use it. As such, it’s starting to lose its meaning a little bit – especially seeing as the reasons listed in this new PlayStation 4 trailer are a little loose. For example, the platform holder reckons that its system's got the “most complete sports lineup”. Why? Well, ‘cos it’s the only one with MLB 14: The Show.
We’re probably being a bit bolshie by pulling this apart, though, as it’s just a montage for the Japanese giant to promote on YouTube over Christmas. And, to be fair, any device with Grand Theft Auto V, Destiny, and Far Cry 4 in its portfolio is doing just fine for itself. We just wish that these companies would come up with some original slogans to boast about their offerings.

I have a hard time believing that. Sony has been acting like a**holes latetly. Like 2005-2013 Microsoft.
@Dohv Have they really, though?
@get2sammyb lol yeah I fail to see how they're acting like that.. or any way to be honest lol. They're just making ads and promoting their product like any company does.... but yeah the article mentions far cry 4.. I am in awe of this game. It's probably my favorite game this year and I'm only like 10 hours in... and the thing is I know it's very very similar to far cry 3 but I don't know just something about the formula this game uses and the way they use it... I think it's absolutely incredible. I'm having so much fun doing all the side stuff I've barely even scraped the main story, though that has been pretty awesome so far as well! And the whole coop fortress takedown thing is just genius. So much chaos, so much fun ! One riding in on an elephant another in the air using the one man chopper reigning down hell fire with the grenade launcher hahahaha.. just..so...good.
As for the slogan, it ain't broke don't fix it... Yeah i can't roll my eyes enough on it all. I'm still laughing at that #4theplayers. Well its clearly working, so i can't knock it too much. That video does show off all the PS4 exclusives (And PS exclusives for the technical).
Poor Driveclub Poor Vita
I prefer PS4, that doesn't mean it's the best to play on. But I do love it & I hate to see all these broken recent games.
Yeah, they've been advertising like crazy in the UK, all the tie in games and share play, the share play advert does its job but it uses fictional Viking game to make its point, never mind. On a side not I saw a full page spread in the metro about mobile/connected gaming? Anyway, it spouts tripe about getting at least 1 AAA game for the PS Vita instant game collection each month, tripe, it also suggests that you'll always be able to get/play any other games that are offered for ps3/ps4 too, all on the vita, it didn't suggest this was through remote play, clearly someone doesn't know what they're on about. Hopefully it was written up by a monkey and not one of the game reviewers, not that I ever pay any attention to their dross.
IF you want big blockbuster titles get a PS4.
If you want awesome exclusives get Wii U.
If you want blockbuster, I can say they have changed their name
Oh that's funny. I will keep my Wii U and I would rather get an Xbox One. PS4 would be the third place to play for me.
you guys might aswell just become an xbox site with how cynical and sarcastic you are towards sony and playstation.
Too bad sunset overdrive isn't on the PS4 because that game alone would've made the PS4 the best place for gaming atm until other must have arrive. A shame it ended up being an xbox one exclusive.
@MorriganIsHot yeah sunset overdrive is so good! I just beat it the other day and I loved every minute of it
@get2sammyb
That DriveClub release certainly didn't win Sony any points, nor did update 2.00. Not the only company acting stupid lately, in fact I'd put Ubisoft far, far ahead of anyone else, but Sony's been getting a little too full of itself for my liking. PS4 is off to a great start, but does it truly deserve it? I think the PS4 library runs third behind the other two consoles, no doubt about it. If Killzone had been better and Knack and DriveClub lived up to the hype and weren't complete failures it'd be a different story. Unfortunately, that's not the case. Still plenty of stuff to play if you like multiplats, just disappointing none of Sony's 'A' teams came out to play except Sucker Punch, which credit where it's due, gave us two great inFamous games.
The PS4 is not the best place to play if you like racing games
@Not-Another-Ad
When are those blocbusters coming? MS has more to offer at the moment. The only reason I use my PS4 now is because I got Terraria for my Vita for free. This weekend however I will play Sunset Overdrive on my XBox One. And I still miss some good racing games for the PS4. I am afraid I have to wait till 2017 for that when GT7 will be released (half finished of course).
the PS4 has pontential but I would hardly say it's the best place to play at least not yet the PS3 has a much better list of games hell even the Wii U has a better line up at the moment, by the end of next year it might be different but as it stands there are beter places to play
I wonder why they did not show their recent DriveClub exclusive here?
I have a Sony fanboy friend who shows me a trailer like this one and asks me if I am jealous (since I have a Wii U) of the games shown. Then I reply that 80% of those games are in Xbox One, which to his dismay I am willing to buy. And most of the exclusives are in PS3, which I own.
Greatness Awaits. It sure takes a long time to arrive, though.
I agree with that trailer, the PS4 has 24 games I'd love to play, while the Xbox One only has 4 and the Wii U only 6.
I am of course counting multi-plat/third-party titles though.
whatever, I think the PS4 is awesome. Better than Xbox One imo.
Nope it will always be the Best Place to Play for me. I like games like Ratchet and Clank, Knack, InFamous, The Last of Us, DriveClub, and Uncharted! I love getting 72 games free with Plus a year across PS4,PS3 and Vita!
If you love Halo Xbox is yours. If you love Mario Wii U is yours
If you want the console with the most game studios and variety PS4 is The Best Place to Play!!!
