100% agree. Playing Titanfall every chance I get and enjoying my free games for gold (downloading Saints Row 3 in a couple days which I never played).

...

 

I wouldn't put much stock in a program that didn't last too long. Just saying in 2014, not any years prior, 2014, 360 has Titanfall and PS3 has what....some super niche Japanese titles?

 


I guess it's a matter of preference which of the 2 has better upcoming games:

PS3

Helldivers

LittleBigPlanet HUB

Kingdom Hearts 2.5 Remix

Persona 4

Tales of Xillia 2

Tales of Zestiria

 

Xbox 360

Titanfall (already out)

Project Spark

 

PS Plus (if you sign up in may):

Uncharted 3

Payday 2

Remember Me

LittleBigPlanet Karting

Puppeteer

PES 2014

etc: http://us.playstation.com/playstation-plus/

 

XBL Gold (if you sign up in may):

Dust: An Elysian Tail

Saints Row: The Third

As I said, super niche by comparison.

Listing PS + games that allready exist ....cute


Kingdom Hearts 2.5 is niche? Explan, please. 

 

Xillia has sold 1 million worldwide.

Kingdom Hearts 1.5 has sold over a million copies.  Calling the kingdom hearts series niche is factually incorrect and delusional.

Zestria will sell on par with Xillia.

HUB is F2P and as a franchise has sold MUCH more than project Spark. LBP isn't niche, calling it niche is delusional, by calling it niche you're calling Project Spark even more niche. 

FFX HD was released this year, it sold a million copies. 

Persona 5 will sell around a million as well.

 

A new IP that's f2p and one FPS is more compelling tho huh? Despite the fact the Xbox 360 version of titanfall had no buzz and only sold around 600K copies on a 80 million install base. Okay. Sure.

But if it's not a popular FPS, it's niche!

I just hate my ps3 so damn much that i am gonna rush out and buy the new model of it instead of going over to the competition. Genious if i must say so.



I wish I still had my 4th xbox360 back...X1 hasn't many games ( that I like ) and titanfall isn't my thing...the 360 though is only part of the reason some people aren't buying the new console...they need to stop being so difficult with indie developers, because aside from titanfall, dead rising 3 and forza the X1 just isn't cutting it...and it's nice that they are going to sell the X1 without kinect, just wish the move had been made before i bought it because kinect is just a huge waste of time and money.



I can't wait till the PS5, more excuses from MS and more threads like these. Heaven!

That make só much sense, dreamcast failed because people loved genesis more than snes and ps1.

If software sales on the 360 are any indication, then he's right.


360 got outsold by PS3 in software for the past 2 years. It still continues. 



Well I guess that is one way you can spin sales. Can't wait for the next one.

XBLA and PSN titles not included on either side... Most of the good XBLA games aren't even exclusive anyway.



This list really puts him and his company to shame.

 

This is one of the main justified reasons why the gamers bought a PS4 instead of a X1



Predictions for end of 2014 HW sales:

 PS4: 17m   XB1: 10m    WiiU: 10m   Vita: 10m
