Forums - Gaming Discussion - Who among Microsoft, Nintendo and Sony will have the most critically successful games this generation?

Sony will most likely win by a significant margin.

And since you have added Wii U+Switch and Xbox One+PC, wouldn't it be fair that you also count games that are on PS4+PC (Nier, Nioh, Hellblade, Nex Machina,...).

Helldivers is also on PC, so I don't know why you count it.

I added games that belong to each of these publishers. Nier, Nioh, Hellblade, etc. are not Sony games. Helldivers is a Sony games.

Basically a game has to be owned by Sony and it's initial release has to be on PS4 for it to be counted, whether it appears on PC or another console is immaterial.

3DS? They're asking you to add DS and PSP games to the first post. Those are relevant because the sequels of the first party games of those systems will be on consoles you're going to compare.

Then I would also have to add 3DS and VITA to this gen...and Have chosen to leave them all out and keep this about consoles. And for the 3rd time you are all free to make a separate topic about handhelds. I just don't want to do that as it will make the comparison extremely unfair for MS. Just because Sony and Nintendo choose to split their resources between multiple markets is not MS' fault. I have also omitted PSVR titles from this list as they can't be played on these consoles without buying additional hardware, and just because Sony is deciding to spend resources that they could use to make PS4 games on PSVR is not MS or Nintendo's problem.

You don't get it. Well, it's not my problem, and besides I like biased things that make Nintendo look good. It's going to be fun when Switch gets a bunch of sequels of Nintendo handheld franchises like Picross or Style Savvy.



Games which the Company own? Nintendo would be my guess now they've got all their development focusing on one system.

The one the critics are most lenient with.

This list is dishonest as it ignores more than half of Nintendo's output by ignoring handhelds.

Considering the Switch will get Nintendo's full support (as it is no longer being split between a home console and handheld) it will be an incredibly easy victory for Nintendo.

Last gen's HD games were over-rated as hell anyway. That's why sequels of those games don't score nearly as high anymore this generation (Killzone, MLB games, LittleBig Planet, etc.). The novelty of being HD has worn off.

Also Journey and Flower are not developed by Sony, nor is the company owned by them. Flower is even on the app-store of the Iphone. Their next game will also release on smartphones first.

I'm not going to keep going through this with every Nintendo fan that enters the thread, I've already given ample reasoning for not inclusion handheld/Kinect/Move/PSVR titles. 

As for Journey and Flower, they are both Sony owned games developed by a 3rd party studio. Sony had a 3 game deal with Thatgamecompany which included Flow, Flower and Journey. These games are as much Sony's as Pokemon is Nintendo's as Pokemon games are developed by Game Freak which is an independent 3rd party developer. In fact Gamefreak actually shares the copyrights with Nintendo for Pokemon, while Sony is the sole owner of those titles, so in essence They're more of Sony games than Pokemon games of Nintendo.



I love seeing lists like this.  They show that the power of 1st party games is mad overrated by most people around here.

If we put the X1 vs the Wii U, the X1 pales in comparison.  And yet it was able to outsell it by almost 3:1 in the same period.  And it is even more impressive if we take into consideration all the problems and bad PR the X1 was released with.

And let's not even talk about how the Wii U is just 3 "critically successful" games behind the PS4.



Depends on exclusivity

but Sony would win with it's larger library
