I have had the red version of this for a while. It's really comfortable and has extra programmable paddles on the bottom. It also has a turbo feature, but the only thing I ever used that for was to spam buy Lemonades in Pokemon Sword. I think it's worthwhile especially if you're an adult just for the comfort.

@mesome713: Sony wants consumers to associate the two brands together. They want gamers to think of Playstation and Call of Duty in the same thought, just as they did with Destiny. I don't think it is that they lacked faith in their own studio, I think it's more probable that they lacked faith in a new IP in that genre. Now that they are seeing success, they are praising the genre and studio, and will likely put a bigger budget behind them in the future.

Sony as a company can't really afford failure given their overall financial situation, so they are doing what most companies do in a situation where failure isn't an option. Hedging their bets on proven successes and hoping they continue to succeed. Then if something comes along and works like Until Dawn, it helps everyone in the future. You've got to realize that they just got hugely burned by their own studio on Drive Club, and that was in a more popular genre.

I think next year, Sony will put much more effort into their own games.

@demon-returns: Sony believes that Call of Duty will sell PS4 systems, based on the fact that it is the most popular series in arguably the most popular genre in North America. In addition to this, they have timed exclusivity on DLC for it.

Just last year, the PS4 dominated sales in the month that Destiny came out. And that was with a game that had no proven track record for success when their only "advantage" was timed-exclusive DLC. I actually kind of disagree with their strategy here on some fronts, but considering their big games won't be ready until at least next year and they are dominating sales figures with it, they must have something right.

@demon-returns: The same world where Pepsi, Pizza Hut, State Farm, Beer, etc. need marketing. Coors Light has existed for how long, and still bombards the TV during every NFL game? This is nothing new, the general public is going to get reminded of Call of Duty with commercials and advertisements all over gaming websites, and Sony is going to be fronting a decent portion of the bill. Seriously, Call of Duty has "big budget" (for commercials) advertisements every single year. Just YouTube them. I'm surprised this even needs asked.

I understand why you might think that way, but the answer is pretty obvious.

@mesome713: Sony is paying for most of the marketing on Destiny. I believe he actually mentioned it in the interview as well. In addition, "their" November game is going to be Call of Duty, which they will be doing a ton of marketing for. It seems Battlefront is also leaning their direction as well, based on most gameplay videos being PS4. Sony's plan this holiday season is to sell third party games, and they are actually throwing their money at it.

@calum1984 The next XBox and Omni are probably going to come out this year and they will support it. It also says for "gaming", not for consoles. There are other ways to game. You're likely typing from one.
