What exactly is MS bringing to One at launch? Sony has Knack, Drive Club, inFamous and Killzone already announced with more ready for E3. Counting digital games, I wouldn't be surprised if Sony releases more than 15 exclusives in PS4's first year.


Knack looks amusing

Drive Club will be hurt by GT6 on PS3

inFamous and Kill zone both declined quite a bit in sales. Especially inFamous, I don't know why Sony wouldn't let those Studios make new IPs instead of pushing two that the market isn't responding to.

I don't doubt Sony will show more, but I haven't seen a winner yet.

As for MS, we know very little, except Forza 5 and Quantum Break. Forza is a guaranteed hit, and Quantum is from Remedy, so chances are it'll be amazing. Other than that we'll have to wait for E3, but if they do have many core AAA titles in the works, then I think there's a good chance they'll have the upper hand on Sony by a good margin.

Of course I could be wrong. Time will tell.

All Sony really has to show me is FF versus and I could care less what else they show anyway.

Guerilla is making two games. One is a new IP. 

They can't have only new IPs at launch...they will have a mixture of both, as it always is with new consoles.

Quantum is from Remedy, so chances are it won't be a hit. Are we discussing sales or quality here? Because you seem to switch between the two when it fits your argument better. Also, Forza is a declining franchise too by your definition. Went from 5.37m to 3.96m (Forza 4). And it gets worse if you look at the spin-off, but I won't since it's a spin-off.


Remedy made two hits with Max Payne 1&2

Sam Lake recently said Alan Wake had sold 3 million, so it's done pretty well, and it's noteworthy that the game was pirated over a million times the year it released as well. It's not like people didn't want to play it. I think it's quality is unquestionable.

Forza 4 is behind 3 in sales, but it's also been on the market for 2 years less, and 3 has had extensive bundeling. I wouldn't say there's much decline, if any when you take those factors into account. Horizon obviously is a different story.
