Considering how popular the PlayStation 4 has become, it was always going to get some stick. The system's been breaking sales records left and right, and we reckon that's clouded the judgement of some when it comes to the sheer variety of software available on the device. But events like today's pre-TGS press conference go some way towards illustrating just how many bases the company has covered.
And in this brand new European commercial, the platform holder boasts that the best games are on the PS4. Now we know that there are excellent exclusive brands on other boxes, but we reckon that it's hard to argue with what the manufacturer's saying here. The bottom line is that the Japanese giant's flagship format has the absolute best breadth of software available anywhere right now – even if it may not all appeal to your personal preferences.

I honestly like the commercial but 80% of the games were cross platform.
Sammy do you own another new gen console apart from PlayStation 4?
haha, besides uncharted everything else is on xbox.
It's all personal preference really... I personally think exclusive wise the Sony and MS have exclusives that are very much on par with each other. I've got all three consoles and PC and I can say the one that really stands out as not being used all that much is my Wii U. I only got it for Fire Emblem games though. I will buy Nintendo consoles solely for Fire Emblem and play over 300 plus hours of each game... It is the second year of PS4 and X1 things are going to get even more competitive here on out.
I suppose the tagline is true if you count all the exclusive content for cross platform games that Sony paid for. Then there's Street Fighter V...

Yup Playstation is the best!
I love my PS4, but for me the best games by a long way are on Wii U.
not at the moment... If they localize everything they announce yesterday then the claim will be correct
I'd say for Japan it does, but over here in the Western territories we don't know how many of those games we'll get. If we get a good number of them, then it pushes the PS4 ahead, if not, I'd say it's still neck and neck between PS4 and X1. So far the only things confirmed by Sony America are Gravity Rush Remastered and the Bloodborne DLC.

The answer to that question can be read between the lines of this article. I realize it's a PS fansite and although the PS4 is arguably the best place to play your multiplats on, to say it's "hard to argue" that the PS4 had the best games can only be stated by someone that doesn't own a Wii U and Xbox One.
Sure, there's always the odd: "I just don't like Halo, GoW, Forza and TR in 2015" kinda guy, who plays primarily niche titles, but I reckon he's better off on the Vita. But although I think Sony's approach is the smartest of em all, you can't honestly state that they have the better exclusives imo.
I laughed earlier when reading PushSquare in the article that summarized the pre TGS conference. In it the editor stated, without hesitation, that it was home run number 2 out of 2, with 2 more shows to go, which made me smile from ear to ear. I like to put on some blue tinted glasses myself from time to time, but shouting "home run" after a press conference as dull as this one was is just ridiculous. PushSquare sometimes loses sight of reality and I honestly feel that they could benefit from at least acknowledging other consoles, because it seems they're sometimes writing in a Sony vacuum.
I have always enjoyed the variety PS offers me. The only games that I like that I miss out on having PS are the Zelda games and the occasional Mario game. I think all 3 consoles are on the verge of having really great exclusives. If you really wanna try something totally out of your comfort zone, or if you are into jrpgs then PS will serve you very well. I like having more options, bc the big AAA mulitplats are not always enough, and for me the PS is the only console that fills the gap between the great multiplats. All opinion of course.
And Microsoft say the same, aswell as the XB1 is the best place to play. Sorry Sony and Microsoft, me and my wallet will be the judge of that.
At the moment the best games are multi platform. It will probably be true this time next year, but for now, the best games are everywhere.
@WARDIE
That's true, the best games so far this year have been multiplat but we'll see how Halo 5 and Xenoblade X turn out.
Meanwhile, I'm playing my Wii U and 3DS more than PlayStation nowadays. I object to the marketing of a subjective stance as fact; it could be argued to be false advertising. But that's kind of the norm nowadays, so I don't expect them to be held accountable for it.
Got to love these editorialized articles on here, good to see the majority of community members are more balanced in their views.
Wii U had the best exclusives overall for me hands down. I love my PS4, but I'm a realist and not a fanboy.
@DualWielding Exactly. It feels as if Ps4 has a lot of great games in Japan while here we got Uncharted, Until Dawn, Tearaway, Bloodborne and Infamous Second Son. If Sony could just listen to us, they could have localized their games over here(with the developer's permition, of course) because right now, Wii U is the best place to play.
Sorry to bother but what's the name of the song?
I have yet to play my brother`s PlayStation 4!
