laravel using withErrors in a try catch

So i'm making this website where you can buy game consoles, so I made a crud, but I wanted that it was impossible to insert duplicates in the database, but when I create a dupicate you get a laravel error and that is not user friendly. So I wanted to show a normal message saying that you made a duplicate. so I made this. 

public function store(Request  $request)
{
    try
    {
        $consoles = new consoles();
        $consoles->naam = input::get('naam');
        $consoles->releasedate = input::get('releasedate');
        $consoles->company = input::get('company');
        $consoles->price = input::get('price');
        $consoles->created_at = null;
        $consoles->updated_at = null;
        $consoles->save();
    }catch (\Exception $e)
    {
        return Redirect::to('console/create')
            ->withInput()
            ->withErrors(array('message' => 'duplicate'));

    }

    return redirect('consoles');
}

the problem is that ->withErrors(array('message' => 'duplicate')) doesn't show anything. what am I doing wrong.

When you set withErrors you don't need to pass the array, just write the error message like this ->withErrors('Duplicate');

In the view remember to include a check if there are errors

@if ($errors->count())
 <div class="col-md-12">
  <div class="alert alert-danger text-center">
   @foreach ($errors->all() as $error)
     <p>{{$error}}</p>
   @endforeach
  </div>
 </div>
@endif

You can simply use with() to send the message to the view like

 return Redirect::to('console/create')
            ->withInput()
            ->with('message', 'duplicate');

and access that in view as

@if ($message = Session::get('message'))
  {{$message}}
@endif
