How the PS4 Won a Console Generation
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 19 июн 2024
- It's no secret that the PlayStation 4 platform dominated the market during its generation, pulling the rug right out from underneath Microsoft's once coveted throne during the Xbox 360 era.
From a cheeky walkthrough of how to play used games on PlayStation 4 in response to Xbox One to the onslaught of generation defining titles, the PS4 has a history like no other in the long years that video gaming has been around. Instances like God of War's organic modernization of a well-beloved franchise, or taking chances on new IPs such as Horizon Zero Dawn and watching it bloom into instant fan favorite are some key moments in the lifecycle of the PlayStation 4 that sealed its superiority.
The PS4's legacy will live on for years to come, even in the era of the next-gen with PlayStation 5. You can bet that IGN will be there every step of the way. For everything PlayStation and the next-generation of video games, keep it on IGN.

Who still rocking the first model 500GB?
Got mine January 2014 and still works like new 👊🏻
my brother still has that piece of junk
Me!!! But my hardrive went out so I replaced it with a 1tb one for 60 bucks.

Got mine around the premiere date. Still works like magic, no issues at all.

You forgot inFamous Second Son, the launch title that first showed the graphic fidelity of the PS4
Really underrated game too
And killzone shadow fall
Awesome game
Exactly that’s the game I bought my ps4 for
Infamous wasn’t even a launch title but still was a console seller (it came out a few months after the release of the PS4)
Honestly, I've never had a PlayStation console until the PS4 only because they won me over on the E3 conference. Xbox One really dropped the ball
same here! i had the original and xbox 360 but then i switched to ps4 and never looked back
@@mxlcxlmx lol
Same I had an Xbox one but after a while there was no games to play im happy with my ps4
How'd u manage that
No loyalty smh
Despite the fact that the technology inside the launch model is nearly 10 years old this console will probably remain my primary gaming platform until early 2022. Unless for some reason the console becomes easily available without issue.
Like PS5
@@Jay-jb2vr Yes. PS5. Or maybe I'll switch teams and go for the Switch 2. A lot of my favorite game franchises are going hard woke. Going back to Mario and Zelda doesn't seem like a bad idea.

Just because PS5 has released, doesn't mean that PS4's era has ended. It is not over yet. PS4 is still my favorite console.
Its already over... Sad to say.. Sony already stop producing ps4 pro same goes to microsoft xbox one x.. There's no point on making more ps4 if 99% of the games are available to play on ps5.. Ps4 is already over but there's still one exclusive left for ps4 and 3rd party games for the ps4.. After that the developers will be focusing on the next generation ps5 .. It seems ubisoft is already move on to the next generation ps5 ... The biggest reason why they stop producing ps4 pro because the gap Price point between ps4pro and ps5 digital edition is way to close 50Dollar..sony can't afford to go even lower on ps4 pro to only option is to stop.. Same goes to xbox one x same reasons as sony
@@MrBenedick14 it is not yet ended. they stopped production of ps4 pro so that they can make more ps5. sony said they will support and making ps4 game for 3 years or more.
look, your argument is logical but it is factually incorrect
@@naufal3038 they said they will support it for 3 years..expect quality of life improvements software with in that 3 years ... But its pretty much over for the ps4 and xbox one 3rd party game are just finishing what left on the ps4 before moving on.. Sony is asking all developers to move on according to ign report 90% of the developers are moving to the next gen, other 10% they just what to finish the that was made for the previous generation..
@@naufal3038 don't get confused the 3 years support for the ps4 .. They want smooth transition between ps4 to ps5 in that 3 years life span.. It means they will still support ps4 software,.while asking all the developers to move on.. According to digital foundry Spiderman miles Morales isnt a true next generation game, it was made for the previous generation in mind in the first place...but the developers still the freedom if they want to build games for the previous generation...
@@naufal3038 its over dude.. Ps4 is the fastest selling console ever, but also the fastest console to get phase out..

PS5 has Demon Souls and Miles Morales
@@dericjames2018 nah knack 3

Xbox lost the generation before it even began because of their greed and stupidity. I switched from Xbox to Playstation and never looked back.
Oh, the PS4 cycle was indeed a cycle of constant success for me: I played one awesome game after another, either exclusive or not. And I'm not even close to be done with the awesome PS4 games available. Thankfully the PS5 makes it easy for me to continue chipping at the backlog!
Damn I feel old just from reading the title

The PS4 is going to be going down as one of the best in gaming history.

Sony won against the Xbox in e3 2013. The rest is history
That was the highlight of 2013 for sure lol such a brutal defeat for M$
So true nuff said
E3 2013 wasn’t just a slaughter. It was a massacre that completely destroyed the Xbox brand to the point it had to reconsider it’s entire strategy/sack it’s head & was still effected it into the gen after. To the point it had to make the biggest purchase in entertainment history since Star Wars & spend $7 billion to try & fairly compete. Which they got ripped off on imo because Bethesda is clearly worth no where near as much/is not as well known as Star Wars. Ya know. The film/franchise which revolutionised cinema, became a cultural icon that will be remembered throughout the rest of history & literally invented the term blockbuster. Bethesda just made a buggy game that became a Reddit meme because they kept releasing it over & over again...
Ps4 the greatest console i loved ps4 soo much the end of great era
The best generation ever experienced I hope this console never gets faded away after ps5 is properly in stock because this PS4 was so ir die situation for Sony and stakes were high and PS4 had a lot of pressure to deliver the best performance and games
they allready stopped production on all models except for the slim 500GB. Doubt this will last many years longer. Thing is ps5 can play ps4 games so there is no need for it anymore
Please move on already. No more cross gen to hold back the ps5
I disagree, they should 100% move away from developing PS4 games so game creators won’t be held back with their creative freedom and cut less content from all versions of their game to accommodate.
Even when the PS4 launched, the PS3 was still a relevant platform for another 2-3 years. Considering the PS4 has been even more successful, it will still be around for *at least* that long.
@@strykah92 i am sure EA and other 3rd party devs are still going to make games for 2-3 years but doubt Sony studio's will still release a ps4 version after this year
PlayStation is the one true legendary console.
PlayStation has been the golden standard of console gaming since 1994.
The piece of crap that is called Xbox will never beat PlayStation.
@@anessamer Xbox was pretty much made in spite of PlayStation. Even Microsoft said when they made their first Xbox they had to take apart a PS2.
@@earthinthecomments4944 so they are copying PlayStation or what?
@@anessamer You could think of it that way. Back then Microsoft were scared of Sony’s wrath in the gaming industry and how they would change the computer world. So they made Xbox as a counter.
I can't believe you missed Second Son :(
It really showed the ps4s potential
Really fun game and the expansion.
That Jaguar CPU have done wonders, it is time for it to retire.
Love my ps4 forever. Starting my journey on ps5 in couple days
Amazing system, PlayStation 4 such a great console with the best games.
👍
I owned the xbox 360, still do, and i loved that generation very much.
I got the ps4 in 2016 and have been using it ever since. In fact ill use it until the end of 2021 when i can say that theyll be reason ( games wise) to get the ps5.
Im also keeping the ps4. Great little console 😊👍
In _Kenichiro Yoshida/Mark Cerny/Sony Interactive Entertainment/PlayStation Studios_ we trust!
I love how the actual edited video is named something different in the introduction than the clickbaity youtube video title
great review! also like the format nice to see everyone work on this one together.
The fact that ive had mine for 8 years and still using it to this day, probably until 2022 is amazing
History of ps5 : out of stock, scalped.
Launch ps5 and launch series x here
@@SJ-kb1kz and pretty much every graphics card
Imagine if Playstation kept as exclusives:
Metal Gear Solid
Grand Theft Auto
Final Fantasy
Crash Bandicoot
Yakuza
Then bring back:
Twisted Metal
Jak and Daxter
Resistance
Blame Sony for not respecting some of these franchises enough to continue or market them better.
Keeping franchises like FF mgs gta and resident evil would be impossible cause 3rd party publishers understood overtime that more platforms means more 💰
New Final Fantasy games seem to be exclusives to Playstation, at least for a given period of time.
@@worawatsr9803 yeah and mgs 4 was exclusive. Rumours are saying mgs 1 remake could be exclusive but thats just rumoured.
@@brain_bank48 it was
I can't wait too see if the ps5 can top the ps4's game library.
Ps5 can certainly can top ps4 games Library.. 99% of the ps4 games are playable on ps5.. For the first time Ps5 has the most strongest line up of exclusive in this early generation according to sony PlayStation ceo,..it seems that sony is going all out on ps5,double on what ps4 offers in previous generation.. That's the goal.. Ps5 is the most easiest console to develop games in the world , they can produce games more quickly now,. Ps5 was created by the developers in mind according to mark cerny
@@MrBenedick14 ps5 can’t play Joe’s Diner, deal breaker for me
@@brain_bank48 Now it can ;) lol.
Going back and watching that XBox One reveal is crazy, just an hour of nothing.
When it comes to crossplay, a lot of people name "playing with friends" as a reason to buy a platform. Therefore, the market leader is against it, and the competition is for it, and CEO's spin it. So simple, yet so many people spend so much time arguing about it, even gong so far as to portray Phil "Next year, I promise!" Spencer as some sort of pro-gamer crusader.
You're totally correct. It's tiresome that so many people don't understand this.
Is so sad ps4 doesn't have Silent Hill and new GTA. . .
It really is :(
They’ll be on PS5 for sure though.
We got Metal Gear Solid 5 though
@Lucy, dope jacket Pilot. "6 4 is a family ..."
Best console so far hands down.
i still have so many games to play ... damn it

Reasons why PS4 won the most important console generation:
1. Games
Playstation 5 will be another Playstation console to sell over 100 million units
Damn PS3 😢
That’s like a minimum sales for Playstation consoles. Ironically, Xbox never reached 100 million sales since its birth. 😂
@@worawatsr9803 I know i didnt mean anything bad about the ps3 i love my ps3 which i use everyday and have 5 brand new backups just in case..
I meant if the ps3 would had reach 100m it would had been 4/4 sony consoles to do so 😄
@@worawatsr9803 i wonder if Xbox Series X might break that record...its a really compelling console their best since the 360
@@CMONCMON007 It just doesn’t have much innovation or games going for it currently
Had a blast this generation with the PS4. Looking forward to this next generation with the PS5 (as soon as I can get my hands on one lol)
Should have preordered one in September or October when it was available
@@dericjames2018 and bots would have stolen it.....
Was a Xbox and Nitendo fan growing up. Got a PS4 this gen and never regreted it
All for the 6-4! Love the Titanfall reference
PS4 generation has been amazing! Still have lots of amazing games to catch up on yet!
PS4 won because XBOX completely misunderstood their player base.
Recently bought 1Tb slim version and loving it:)
Great video.
PS4 is second to the PS2 as my all time favorite system
Infamous Second Son? It’s sad that this video did not even mention its name.
facts bro, Infamous Second son is soooo underrated by fans.
Very underrated game it's my game of the generation
I can't wait for the eventual PS4/Pro emulator to come out. Hopefully PS4/Pro games will be a lot more easier to emulate this around. I wanna play Bloodborne and Driveclub in 4k 60fps baby!
Buy the console scrub, hopefully it never works 💕👍🏼
Do they still sell these in stores
The PS4 holds up nicely. 9/10. Little something for everyone.
One simple reason why the PlayStation 4 won: Both the Xbox One and Wii U had bad marketing.
try "games"
@@StayFractalesque It’s mostly bad marketing
I think the main reason why I will keep my 4 pro for years to come is the simple reason of exclusives and a near pickup and play experience.
i allready gave mine to my sister. Have a ps5 and it plays all my games and is a lot faster.
I bought mine in July 31 2015 .
Got mine July 2014 and its still going strong
2017-2020 skyrocketed playstation even further thanks to their stellar exclusives
So much love for the games that came out in 2020. They were amazing. Also: 0 mention of Cyberpunk in this whole vid. NICE.
Cyberpunk has made themselves irrelevant
Sony also remove cyberpunk to their game store, so yeah, irrelevant
Does anybody know if the new xbox is gonna come out this year?
*looking at my day 1 ps4 with the I love you eyes*
Watching IGN staff reading their scripts with cheap webcams is just awful.
It's kind of weird that the tone of this video seems negative to me even though it should be positive, as if it shouldn't have dominated the last generation
It might be the type of gamer that I am (single player mostly unless playing multilayer with my husband since we own 2 ps4 and share our games) but ps4 was pretty much just positives for me. But of course not everyone is the same :)
I hope many folks enjoyed the ps4 like I did
I bought the PS4 Batman Arkham Knight bundle back in 2015, i like the PS4, what i hate is that the controllers tend to crash when it has the yellow, orange light and what i hate is the waiting on the installation process when u insert a physical game disk 💿, that takes away the fun in gaming. The PS3 was better in some ways
Seeing the Title: ...
Me: It produced games.
Sony won for two main reasons:
- It has Knack 1
- It has Knack 2
two generation defining games within a single generation
PlayStation definitely won this generation, but I feel like you should also talk about Nintendo’s return to form with the Switch! It’s an amazing console
Switch is 9th gen. It’s spent more time competing with XBX, PS5 than against PS4 and XB1 (which was only 3 years).
Im still on ps3 n x360. Too many games haven't played yet
The ps4 reminded me of the ps1 era. Could we see ps5 replicating the ps2....?
I honestly couldn't emphasize it enough as to how much PS4 absolutely bossed the last console generation and congrats to them.
XboX was then XboX360 and then switched to PS4, for me Sony did everything right from the PS4 and are still on the right track .... but XboX is coming back a bit!
How to share games trailer intensifies
at 12:45 i cant believe he mentions mlb the show over resident evil 3 remake and doom eternal. 2020 was ps4s best year for sure
in 2020 we also got remasters for bayonetta/vanquish and yakuza 3-5. was yakuza 0 even mentioned once in the video? also seeing bayonetta again on playstation after we were told for 10 years that nintendo owned her was buffling
PS4 was totally worth my money💵 thank you sony❤️
I'm just trying to imagine what it must be like to speak of the ps4 in the past tense
Didn’t mention until dawn a big first party game
I use to remember how popular IGN was apparently not anymore.
The PS4 isn't going away because there is a shortage of PS5s which is not meeting the demand.
they starting to phase out models of the ps4 though, only the ps4 slim 500GB model is still being made. It is not like they will keep producing ps4's for years anymore
It has amazing games, that's it.
I love this video
Why is not having cross play a bad thing? If you are number 1 you need to protect and you cant manage players from other platforms
Oh Lucy! Your lighting in your new place looks SO NICE!
Looking forward to the history of playstation 5
Same
looking forward to a restock of ps5
Yeah but it can’t run Halo so I will be sticking to xbox

Sony won because they had Don Mattrick

Changing the title are we...
I don't agree with the critiques of Sony being fatigue in 2018. I think Sony was dominant the whole entire generation. And the criticism of teasers is subjective some of us actually enjoy getting hyped even if it is years ahead of the release.
