Forums - Gaming Discussion - Exclusives with maths: 1486 points for PS4, 791 for XBO, 2455 for Wii U

Full credit to 'Iyasu' for the Wii U data and spreadsheet

Got into an argument with little brother, argument got intense, maths became involved.

1486 points for PS4 (1751 with next gen exclusives)

791 points for XBO (1056 with next gen exclusives)

2455 for Wii U

Ratio of ~ 19:10

Pre agreed terms:

Exclusives have to be rated 75 or higher

X 1 for full exclusive x 0.7 for platfrom exclusive, x 0.3 for console exclusive

x 0.3 for downloadable instead of retail

added later

Metascore to the power of 1.1 so better games matter more, 75 cut off is less jarring, result does not change

Spreadsheet columns:

Ranking amongst all games for that console, name, score, score ^1.1 , x exclusive type, x game type, final points

Final points tally at the bottom, obviously this isn't perfect so feedback is greatly appreciated

Notes: 

Most contentious issue: Halo master chief collection being 0.7, compromise that was reached, games also available on ios and android were removed from PS4 console exclusives, halo remains 'platform exclusive'

Screw spelling in the spreadsheet as long as you can tell what the game is

Updated FH2 to 0.7 from 1 - thanks to Ka-pi96

Corrected two 0.5s instead of 0.3s - thanks to Lafiel

Added Wii U - special thanks to Iyasu 

Added next gen exclusives, updated Wii U

Buying order: Switch, better pc

Around the Network

So mcc/rare replay were times by 1.7 or 1.3



Indies really need to be reviewed more harshly, its unbelieveable looking at how many small games on this list which are scoring higher than Infamous and Sunset Overdrive and I've bought a few only to play them for 3 hours thinking it was decent and never playing them again. Rocket League, Journey and Ori being the exceptions and actually being really good games.

These sorts of comparisons have become so multilayered as well.

Take TLOU:R which is listed as a platform exclusive. Then you have games like Halo MCC and Rare Replay. More games, more value, but they count as one exclusive. On the other hand, you can play these games (most of them) elsewhere, so the counterargument is should they count at all.

And so it goes!



starcraft - Playing Games = FUN, Talking about Games = SERIOUS

nice idea, but I wonder why World of Tanks and Tachyon Project on the X1 side have 0.5 multipliers in the dl/retail column



Around the Network

Can we do a list where we don't include PC ports?



Sounds like a fun idea. Would be interesting to go through the compiled data now and see if you can extract out any meaningful trends like if games with a higher multiplier (therefore more exclusive) tend to score better on metacritic.

Also I love the image of a heated debate between siblings that has you both rushing to excel to prove it one way or the other.  



...

Its been proven on this site that no matter how you slice it, how you try to cherry pick here and there, the Ps4 always end up with more exclusives than the X1.

It is always appreciated that people bring these factual lists to clear the panorama though.



Honestly, who cares?
Seriusly, who SERIUSLY play those > 1,400 PS4 exclusives?
Quality >>>>>> quantity.

That said, i don't say XBO has FOR SURE the best ecxlusives, depend on YOU.



Why not just add all metacritic scores of exclusives together? That way better games add more to the total than bad games. And perhaps count the non retail games at 50%?
