Sony PlayStation 4 Hits 500 Games Milestone (finder.com)

SlappingOysters writes: Finder is reporting that the catalogue of Sony PlayStation 4 games has just passed the 500 mark. The website has been tracking the install sizes of every PS4 game and in doing that, has been able to confirm that the mark had been reached. It's a significant catalogue advantage for the console, with the Xbox One currently offering 349 games, although the arrival of backwards compatibility on November 12 will change that dramatically. The site has also shown that the rate of releases is increasing over time.

    Is there some point to this? I'm pretty sure Steam has considerably more and will be shocked if Apple TV doesn't pass that in a few weeks.

    Console = archaic device we needed because computers weren't powerful enough to play games and because abstraction layers like game engines targeting other abstraction layers like OpenGL or DirectX wasn't plausible. These devices are now sold primarily to users lacking the brainpower to use a mouse or to people desperate to play a game that only exists on a platform that costs too much and is far too slow.

    I guess some people think they're nifty. Strange.
