we already know Driveclub, The Order, and Infamous compared to Titanfall (likely timed) in the Spring.  That's launch window.  Besides like I said in this thread MS already announced they'll have at most 15 first party games in the first year (at most=that's what they announced at Xbox One reveal so there could be delays) while Sony said at E3 they'll have at most 20 first party games in the first year (same note about at most).

Games launching 3+ Months after the console launches arent launch window games. Launch window games are generally games releasing within the first couple of Months. Not a full Quarter later. We dont even have release dates for DriveClub, inFamous of The Order.

Driceclub is "early 2014". inFamous is March. The Order doesnt even have a launch window itself, all we know is its coming in 2014. 

On top of all that, the point isnt about launch window games its about launch games, and Xbox One really stomps PS4 into the ground in that category.

first of all winning=/=stomping into the ground.  Second I count launch as the first 6 months of a console's life (essentially until the usual Summer drought pops in what is it doing?).  Xbox has ONE more retail exclusive and PS4s have been preordered more (maybe that's just because of more preorders for the console I don't know).  Killzone+Knack vs. Ryse+Forza+DR3.  Resogun balances out KI and then of course PS4 has FAR more indies (since Xbox has none at launch) some of which look pretty cool (getting Contrast free at launch thanks to the Driveclub delay).  Then there's F2P games so PS4 is crushing in total games and pretty darn even on retail exclusives and will obviously pull ahead within the first year according to BOTH companies.
