Well some of us like a little bit more varitey in our games than repetitive JRPGs and quicktime event fest beatem-ups. Oh, and we don't like being hypocritically criticized by Sony fans for enjoying "shooters" when two of their biggest exclusive franchises that they constantly tout as being reasons to buy a PS3/4 are both shooters (Uncharted and Killzone). Sony fans: Acting like the gaming industry was created in 1995. |
Fact :
Outside of a few downloadable XBL type titles, the Xbox 360 did not release a (90+ rated game on Metacritic -- Not named Halo,Gears,Forza since 2006). You're not hypocritically being criticized for anything, other than the repetitive desire for the same games. It's a simple belief by a majority of the gaming public that Sony has more variety of widely regarded quality titles.
I've owned every console since NES. I appreciated all the different consoles for what they are, but the truth is -- since SNES, there has only been one company that has produced a plethora of fresh new games from a wide variety of genres and supported their console for the entire duration of their lifespans and those are entirely Sony consoles.
The amount of trust and faith that people have in Microsoft regarding consoles astounds me, honestly. This is the second console they've released that they've essentially stopped supporting in any legitimate way. They've shown minimal desire to create new software in what (15) years on the market? While they're Xbox One marketing seems like they're trying to add developers and create games (but how can you even take them at face value at this point?). It's questionable at this point that they ever actually see through that promise of delivering games.
To me, as it stands right now, they're in the same position as Nintendo is for me now (Wait and see mode).
