# of Exclusives?

5 Games so far. Watch Dogs DLC. Rumored 12 Exclusive Titles to reveal at E3. Square Enix stated an “Exciting” game reveal at E3. Quantum Dreams working on PS4 title(NEW IP). Sony 1st and 2nd Party all split into two teams working on Exclusives.

2 Games so far. Halo:The TV Series. COD DLC. 15 XBO exclusives rumoured for the first year.8 of which will be new IPs. A new RARE title from a well known IP of theirs to be revealed at E3.

I might be missing a few things but this looks like the gist of it. I am sure many of those listed games for PS4 and XBO will be multiplat but this is just what was officially said.


When you have PS4 having more features than Xbox One you pretty much know that you missed some things.  One of the biggest complaints about Xbox One is that it's not focused enough which should tell someone that in a list of features it would have more.  Also I don't understand some of the ones listed as PS4 features yet not the equivalent (and actually more powerful) Xbox One features. 

Take this for example: "Be able to access PS4 features through other devices.", doesn't that sound like Sony's equivalent to Xbox Smartglass?

Dynamic multitasking?   What do you call Xbox One being able to condense a live video feed into a smaller window using gestures while a web search is conducted in another window using voice commands while a box pops up showing that a friend wants to talk to you?  Actually I don't even see Skype listed with the ability of having conferences with everyone getting their own window on the screen.

What about the real time Fantasy Football feature, I'm pretty sure that Sony has nothing like that.  What about the ability to instantaneously resume all your store bought games without the need of putting a blu-ray disc back in the drive after the original installation?  Can the PS4 switch instantly from TV to any installed videogame with just a voice command?  Can it look up a tv guide using just your voice?  The list goes on and on...
