Article says:

- PS4 dominates despite fewer exclusives this year

- The report mentioned that PS4 has outsold Xbox One every month since its launch in 2013.

- Won every month against the Xbone

- Has gained quite a lead over the Xbone and WiiU

- Crossed the 24 Million mark

- VGChartz’s numbers show that PS4 has been the dominant market player since its launch.

- This success is attributed to its gamer-centric console, good reputation with first-party exclusives, and better third-party content. However, this is also attributed to Microsoft’s bad decision-making with the inclusion of DRM in Xbox One, which was reverted later on.

Nintendo is selling their IPs to Microsoft and this is true because:

Amazing how the narrative of the PS4 having no exclusives rolls on. Perhaps they should just do what MS do, release nothing for 10 months and throw out all you have at the end if each year, enjoy the plaudits as they roll in.

Strange how he didn't bother listing the 'numerous' Xbone exclusives,  perhaps because when written out it looks a lot less impressive.



I like how everyone is suddenly in on the joke and voting for option 2.

Also, yeah. In fact, according to that website called VGchartz, the PS4 has been outselling the rest of 8th Gen home consoles combined.

No releases in 2015? PS4's 3rd retail exclusive of the year is coming out in the next couple of days, whereas MS has only had Rare Replay.

6 more on the way by the end of the year and that's not including Tearaway Unfolded or Uncharted Collection.



There's only 2 races: White and 'Political Agenda'
2 Genders: Male and 'Political Agenda'
2 Hairstyles for female characters: Long and 'Political Agenda'
2 Sexualities: Straight and 'Political Agenda'

What site is that? No offense, but I've never heard of that before.

'Sony does not have any first-party exclusives in 2015, while “Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End” is the only highlight in 2016. On the other hand, Xbox One has numerous titles to be released by the year end.'

Wut? That's only true if you take the term 'first-party exclusive' to the absolute extreme, but then the Xbox One would only have 1 (Forza) itself so that's hardly 'numerous titles'. Additionally how is Uncharted 4 the only highlight in 2016? I think Horizon looks like quite a highlight too...


Damn Ka-pi just dismissing Halo. The biggest exclusive of 2015?



"PS4 dominates despite fewer exclusives this year"

WTF? PS4 has more exclusives than Xbox One and Wii U this year...



"PS4 dominates despite fewer exclusives this year..."

Haha must be a troll. Up until July, excluding console-timed indie exclusives, xb1 only got two exclusives (screamride and ori (both also on other platforms))



It's only the second year. The peak of the PS4s life cycle is not reached. Into the third year the discprancy will widen even more.


"Despite PS4's fewer exclusive games this year"

Good one. PS4 has more exclusives then X1 and WU added together.



Hunting Season is done...

VGChartz? Nope, never heard of it in my entire life.
