Just as I said, at the moment, XboxOne has more announced exclusives than PS4. And how this will play out in the future is completely up to Microsoft. If they are able to secure more third party exclusives due to the Steam-like approach, then they will potentially have a larger install base. However, if they fail to do so, then their install base will be smaller and they will lose outright. It all depends on MS, not Sony.

And sorry to say, the Japanese market is negligible at this point in time, especially for MS. I mean, do we really expect MS to do well in Japan after all this time?

It's hard to say that the Japanese market is neglible, especially considering Japan has the World's best developers (my opinion). Sure the 360 got some Japanese multiplats, but that's mainly because the console was neck in neck with the PS3 in terms of market share. If these preorder trends translate into overall world wide sales, I can bet you you'll see much more exclusive games coming out for the PS4 just from the Japanese developers alone.


How many giant Japanese franchises are still exclusive to Sony?

None. The last one, MGS, even showed their 5th game during the MS press conference. I agree that Japanese games are still the best, but they recognize that the market in the West is much larger than themselves.
