This Generation is all about Exclusivity vs. Ownership.

[kupomogli]

Xbox One fans are being just as biased as PS4 fans are. Aside from Infamous Second Son, the exclusive games on both consoles are probably the worst of the games announced at E3. Whichever side of the fence you're on don't act like the exclusives are any good or that we're actually receiving some high quality games because we're not. These lackluster exclusives are being overrated because they're exclusives.

Let's also not forget that the exclusives on the PS4 are actually exclusive. Unlike Microsoft who did this before with the 360, Oblivion, Bioshock, Star Ocean, etc. Most of these exclusives will release first on Xbox One but if you're a PS4 fan you will get it in a year. Grey Shooter? I mean Titan Fall? We'll get that in a year, but until then PS4 fans can play generic shooter 1423. Killzone Shadow Falls. Infact, Killzone Shadow Falls atleast one ups most of these shooters because the game has vibrant colors rather than the browns and greys of 99% of last gen shooters. I thought Killer Instinct sounded like a good game until I found out that it was being developed by Double Helix games. Double Helix. That joke of a developer. The best game they created was Silent Hill Homecoming and even that was a poor game, the rest of the games are far worse.

Also. Just because Xbox One DRM restricts users doesn't mean it can't be pirated. As soon as the console is hacked, people are going to be able to pirate the games and only the honest people who purchase all their games are going to be affected by all the restrictions. Steam games can be pirated very easily without requiring Steam for use. If you think DRM protects from piracy, then you're wrong.

As for the Japanese not mattering? If the PS4 sells as good as thee Xbox One at the start of the generation, then Sony already has Japanese developers on lockdown. Remember Namco Bandai who was paid to make games by Microsoft. They found that they make more money releasing Japanese games on the PS3 and that games actually sold in the US. It only took them until the end of this gen to find that out. Will they develop exclusively for the Xbox One. Assuredly when Microsoft pays them millions to create a game that will inevitably come to the PS4. Gust, NIS, Compile Heart, etc, have always been more pro Sony than any other publisher, so I doubt they'd change. Those are developers that support the US, even if my opinion on them is that they suck. That's personal opinion though. So the Japanese will be supporting the PS4 and if you like Japanese games, guess what, there's more exclusives you'll probably be interested in.

But yeah. One more retail exclusive means the Xbox One is by far the superior system. Especially when one of those exclusives are timed. Instead of trying to fool yourself into think you're getting a better system. Just go ahead and buy it. Saying it's the better console won't get PS4 fans to change their mind, so you're only really posting to make you feel like you're making the right choice.
