I thought it would be an interesting idea to rate all the exclusive titles announced so far of each system for their potential to push systems. At the end off the day you should then get two totals that you can compare, that will show what systems has the edge
You can give the exclusives depending on their importance to the sales of the system. So it's not about if you like the game yourself, but how much it will boost the hardware sales. You can give a game between 1-10, with 1 point being ''just a game'' to 10 points for a absolute system seller, for example a GTA exclusive. Also make sure your rating is proportional to other games in the list, for example Dead Rising 3 can be a really good game but it's never going to push as many systems as Halo. Also a game like Halo can be more important to system sales than 2-3 other games combined.
The interesting thing about this is that while one system might have more exclusives than the other, the other system could still get the edge because the exclusives are bigger.

Xbox One is clearly in the lead right now and Playstation 4 needs some massive games if it's going to win. I also don't know if Deep Down and The Witness are PS4 exclusive. Though two or three big games form Naughty Dog and Santa Monica studios would close the gap pretty fast. I will update the list after Sony's conference.
