Strong as an ox
Similarly to yesterday's best games montage, Sony has dropped a new European commercial boasting that the PlayStation 4 is the world's most powerful console. It includes footage of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Bloodborne, and Batman: Arkham Knight, so it's clearly trying to capitalise on current releases. To be fair, the format does tend to fare well in face-offs – even if it's rarely on par with a top-of-the-range PC.

I'ts only true!
That's because it f****** IS, enough grasping at straws trying to find any negative sony news to increase your hits.
@viciousarcanum How was this negative news?
Sony FFS, please do something with this power! Nintendo has the least powerfull console but can achieve such great games! Xenoblade X , what a masterpiece.
@get2sammyb he's trolling sammy lol.
Seems like every article on here descends into a load of negativity about the PS4 "supposed" shortcomings.
@adf86 Maybe because Sony has the most 1 party studios but output is just horrible. Except bloodborne which is awesome
Loving my PS4, much more so than the PS3. From indies to AAA's we've had some fantastic games since launch. Keep em coming!!!
I hope Sony does not forget that the Vita is the most powerful handheld too.
@Sanquine Sony have had a total of 13 full exclusives released since launch, not to mention the wealth of timed digital exclusives it's had already. Quality "like everything" fluctuates but most people will see Infamous Second Son, Driveclub and Bloodborne as the biggest reasons to own one. Besides the system has only been out 18 months and every PlayStation platform starts slowly. Yes they have a lot of studios but these teams have had to support PS3 and Vita in the last couple of years and development can take upwards of 2 years to make something. Let's not forget that people were getting on Nintendo's back for it's poor output within it's first 18 months.
@sinalefa New 3DS and Vita virtually neck and neck now I would imagine, no?
there's a conflict of messaging when you try to sell your console with bases on its power but your content is comprised primarily of indies
Steambox?
@sinalefa They been forgot lol
@Link41x No.
Yep PS4 is the most powerful console, great but actually having a great library will always come first which I'm feeling Sony can't see.
@Link41x No the Vita is still clearly the more powerful system by a wide margin.
Well it is factually the most powerful dedicated gaming console ever.
Technically it is true, a PC is a PC, it is not a game console.
Just look at Driveclub in full flow, sun shining through the rain as you try to squeeze into a gap full of other cars spray and lightning kicks off over the hills.... Unbelievable..... There's a lot to to be gotten out of this console yet. The other thing is you need a good TV to really appreciate it. Nothing less than a Bravia....
Too bad that many people didn't realize this with the PS3. Other than that, PS4 is a great system!!! I love it and love everything that it does, and it's only getting better as time moves on! I can't wait for the upcoming games too...Hot Shots Golf, Ratchet And Clank, Uncharted 4 and who knows what else!!! I may not have supported Sony during the PS1 or PS2 eras, but I loved them since the PS3 (I did own a PS2, just played the Gamecube more). Here's to a great company (raises a toast)!!!!!
I wouldnt know, both systems have had great looking games and about the same performance in my eyes. Couldnt care less about 900p or anything like that. I will say my PS4 crashes to the main menu more times than I'd like.
Would love it if they shoved some of that power into the DS4's battery life too, because it really sucks.
@adf86
Lol, the Sony Studio's had to support the Vita? When will that happen?
@BertoFlyingFox
That's what I like on the XBox One. I can play over 25 hours without charging the controller. Sony removed battery space for the useless light on the front of the controller and the useless touchpad.
@blah01 absolutely spot-on.
I'll add to that; the feeling most akin to Outrtun when weaving through chicanes at full pelt with the soundtrack blasting through a Sony Soundstage - on a Bravia, of course
@Kohaku BigBig made Little Deviants, Sony Liverpool made Wipeout 2048, Zipper made Unit 13, Media Molecule made Tearaway, Sony Bend made Uncharted: Golden Abyss, Guerilla Cambridge made Killzon Mercenary, Studio Japan made Gravity Rush and Freedom Wars and Sony Xdev helped make LittleBigPlanet Vita, Resistance Burning Skies and Murasaki Baby. Long story short, yes Sony did support the Vita but not enough people bought it, they have to focus on the products that make money now. You can't expect them to put forward a lot of money for a AAA Vita game now when only a handful of people would buy it when it makes more sense to put it on PS4 instead.
@adf86 This is what makes me sad. The vita is brilliant in so many ways. My favourite being remote play. It needs more people to go out and buy it so then the devs will want to make proper games for it. And to be honest I'm worried that killzone Mercs is the last big AAA title it will see, unless anyone can inform me otherwise . I can't see another uncharted,which was amazing!! Or lbp or killzone game on it.really hope I'm wrong.
@viciousarcanum
??????
well at least it's a pretty honest commercial. i don't think it can be argued that it's more powerful than the Xbox one, and they stuck to the games that really are amazing, even if only one of them is an exclusive.
Let make money with play game
