What sort of idiot buys a console without looking at what's available for it?

Oh yeah.
Preordered in June, and I didn't say I unplugged the new one. -
The general point still stands. -

Uh, yes. So?
If you're aiming at bad launch games, well, the good ones will come some day.
If you're aiming at lack of backward compatibility, well... I'd rather have a 300 quid PS3 without BC than a 500 quid unethical experiment with half a PS2 built into it.
I also didn't mind when my SNES and N64 weren't BC. -

Your point is fallacious

Unless some amusing Mod has changed it, the thread title begs to differ.

Not that I ever unplugged the PS3 to begin with. But I'm now starting to wonder what is going on in the minds of Kaz, Yoshida, Trenton and House with PS4.
To be completely facetious about the software, isn't it amazing how they've brought the games for the players?
First off, I sort of expected these new consoles to launch software like a love child of the jaguar and game gear, much like the fully b/c WiiU, Wii, Ps3 did previously, as they lent on their previous gen catalogues for 12 months. But knowing, that being an early adopter gives you extra clout in slamming a substandard product to help it evolve(from actual first hand experience) sort of makes it mandatory to own early on, rather than being a thicky
But here is the dilemma. Sony rightfully made such a big issue about how the PS4 wasn't like the original X1 plan, but when you quickly assess all the ways you use its features and see how it directly differs from the PS3, you come to realise that the PS4 might actually be that product.
Many people may not have noticed this, because they'll have setup the PS4 and just used it with their broadband like a steam pc. But from the day I got my PS4, I've used it sparingly with broadband to test Sony's claims. I even kept the PS4 completely from the internet before I installed the day one firmware update just to make sure it was different from the X1.
On the face of things Sony might be at least half right, as it updated via USB as claimed and still played KZ4 without any internet connection being configured on the system. But after that, it is all downhill always online anti-consumer bollocks. For example, the system has one good game that is on the system so far: Resogun. So despite the PC hardware making it a small task to get hundreds of the games on steam ported before launch, by just hitting the re-compile button, as was the excuse for them sabotaging PS3 b/c, it turns out the only game you'll want, needs either an always-online PS+ subscription or you need to acquire it as a digital purchase(rental).
Normally in a console launch this wouldn't be a problem, as the current gen ports would normally be significantly better and b/c would fill in the library between new games, and game demos would be in abundance to impress you to go spend more money on games in shops. But outside of the decidedly current gen gouging ports at £55, there is literally nothing new to try or play now that I've finished the 3/10 KZ shadowfall and have no opportunity to buy Resogun without it being the same unsavoury Adam Ortho X1 solution.

I really am not sure what your point is but I think what you are saying is the PS4 has no games?
Did it need that many paragraphs? -

My overall point, is that rather deceptively the PS4 is the quietly the same unsavoury X1 Matrick solution gamers rejected.
The shortage of PS4 games isn't for Ps3 type technical reasons or Nintendo WiiU quality/workforce size reasons. The shortage is for slowly and quietly herding the idiot gamer into a market place and persistent social system that is always-online like the X1 was originally planned. The catalogue is intentionally digital or annualised or online play centric, to make this a disposal persistent and subscription driven launch. -

You can't buy a disc version of Resogun and it is currently the only game I'm slightly glad I bought a PS4 to play. The interface is a mess designed for arsebook and twatter idiots.
They have intentionally removed the “store password” checkbox feature from the PSN login, so that your choices are auto-login or enter password each time(or indirectly disable all network connections). It is a network connected console that feels like Window Millennium edition. A completely shit system. -
Resogun's a small game though. The sort of thing that's been available download only on PSN and XBLA for the last 6-7 years.
Nicer looking, I'll grant you that.
