Sony has the usual breadth of titles, MS has a good looking lineup to come later in the year, but I don't see where the idea they have multiple GOTY contenders is coming from. Forza won't be in the discussion, Halo isn't what it used to be, not even close, and Tomb Raider looked underwhelming at E3, though may have an outside chance. MS lineup is harder to judge at this stage, simply because nothing major has even released for the system, despite half the year going by, and the discussion is based entirely on potential.

But it is all down to personal preference after that. Some people aren't interested in a wide range of titles or IPs or Japanese games, so are happy with Xbox's usual offerings this year, Halo, Gears, Forza and Fable, with some small original indie games and a big timed exclusive to round it off. Which is fine. But for me, the much greater variety and quantity on PS4 makes it the winner. Which is nice as a PS4 owner, as I thought X1 won launch and 2014.


Its the first Halo of the gen. Its going to move consoles. Plus they have the Gears remake and Tomb Raider. Essentially the biggest exclusives of the year are on Xbox. 

I agree. The biggest blockbusters this holiday are on Xbox One. We have yet to find out if they're also the best games of the year though.

I think what many people try to point out is that spreading out the exclusives isn't necessarily a bad thing (Bloodborne, The Order: 1886, MLB 15: The Show, etc. all released in the first half of the year).

 

I can fully see why people say that in terms of big blockbusters Halo 5, Gears Remaster, Forza 6 and Tomb Raider are bigger than Bloodborne, Uncharted Collection, The Order: 1886, Until Dawn and MLB 15: The Show.

If Horizon: Zero Dawn and Gran Turismo 7 launch in holiday 2016 together with other big exclusives, PS4 would probably have the bigger holiday lineup next year. But this holiday, the biggest blockbuster exclusives are on Xbox One.

Again, the last three Halo games came in 6th, 9th and 10th place overall according to GOTY blog. The Halo franchise hasn't been a front runner since the original. I'm not saying that Halo 5 won't win any awards but if the past repeats itself (as it often does) expect it to get clobbered by Arkham Knight and The Witcher 3 (among others).

Thats not a bad record to have. In truth halo has a new trilogy with a new generation. The first Halo generally starts things off pretty big for xbox sales. I never said it was a front runner, I said it was a contender and Halo has won best shooter before while being a contender for GOTY. Better to be in contention than not at all. Biased gamers just love to toot the horn of their favorite console instead of enjoying all of them and looking at all of the games on all consoles critically from there. Thats why I told this other guy I was talking to in here that Bloodborne so far is the only contender Sony has for the year. I already stated that Witcher 3 and Arkham Knight were going to be in contention(as well as fallout 4). Halo has and always will be the most valuable console FPS on any console and thats why it gets the nod. Don't believe me? Wait for fourth quarter to show.outside of COD and GTA there is no other American game that gets the media in America going like Halo. In fact it was the game that caused midnight releases to be created in the first place in the first generation of the Xbox. So much so the news had to attend it, but its nothing new anymore.


"It should be considered common sense by now that Halo 5 will be a front runner."

"I never said it was a front runner, I said it was a contender"

I face palmed so hard at this I nearly touched my brain. We can see where you called Halo a front runner in the same post's quote tree for god's sake.

Bloodborne may be Sony's only contender but it is a bigger contender than either Halo or Tomb Raider. In fact, I would hardly be surprised if Bloodborne beat both of them combined.

"Halo has and always will be the most valuable console FPS on any console and thats why it gets the nod. Don't believe me? Wait for fourth quarter to show.outside of COD and GTA there is no other American game that gets the media in America going like Halo."

You call Halo the most valuable console FPS and then immediately admit that CoD is bigger, you need to put more thought into your responses.

Why are people using Rise TR as some big exclusive, its on 360 to while avoiding the fact Dragon QH exists and is coming out near the holidays.

@bouzane Your avatar makes me desire another Virtua Fighter every time I see it. I feel like I'm in the twilight zone where Shenmue III has will be released before the next Virtua Fighter....

That being said, the list wars are interesting.

OP: Will you be updating this every month? It's nice to see a list of games I might have forgotten that are out.

Its a bit silly to consider it as an exclusive anyway while we Know it will be on ps4 few months later , its a multiplarform game just coming earlier on X1

So why count it ? It will sell some consoles yes, but i bête PS4 version will sell more console during such period so should we say that PS4 has one more game scheduled for Q1 2015 compared to X1? ( ratchet, uncharted, tomb raider vs Quantum break ) because thats exactly what we are doing by saying X1 has one more game with TR on holidays only because this multiplarform game is coming a bit earlier on it, should be common sense

Xbox line up is much stronger the rest of the year.
Thats a fact, not an opinion.
The PS4 does have a nice rpg-october coming in.

I saw webshops where you can already pre-order FFVIIR

This will be a nice autumn for xbox owners and ps4 jrpg fans.

Quite a few are on Xbox360 and PS3, too.  The OP says it's about "Games on one that aren't on the other" so even though Bastion (for example) isn't exclusive, it counts in PS4's favor.

 

Crazy, huh?
