You can't compare the WiiU in terms of game releases that aren't exclusives. It has very little 3rd party support. I know this because certain people on this site were drilling it into our heads 15 threads a day before the One's reveal. 3rd party sales came to %80 of all software sold during the last gen for the 360 AND PS3, I also understand 15 exclusives in the first year will probably mean in the first 12 months and not during 2013... That would be crazy. Still, that on top of the 3rd party games will end up being a new game every 2 weeks (on average). It means nothing.... Lol. |
I'm not assuming half of them will be bad games. But you should be prepared for the possibility that ALL of them could be bad games. That is what I mean when I say the number is meaningless; we don't know anything about them yet.
The Wii U comparison was used to show that 15 exclusive games across 6 months isn't all that many unless half of them are major blockbuster titles. 15 exclusives across 12 months is even less.
My point is that this "15 exclusives, 8 original IP" thing is completely non-clarified marketing speak. And practically by definition, that means they're including every game they can think of that fits those descriptions. If they have a small, exclusive downloadable title, why wouldn't they include it? They didn't say 15 exclusive retail games.
Come on now. You know one of them is going to be Kinect Sports Season 3. How many others will be Kinect titles?
I'm just asking people to take this vague bit of marketing hype with a grain of salt.
XB1 may get as many major third-party titles as the PS4, and as many exclusives, but from the sound of things, it won't have half as many indie games.
