Will it boost sales yes but Sony has more exclusives coming out this year and going forward. This is assuming titanfall is even good. I know it is early but Sony look's like there going to dominate this gen.
Not sure if Titanfall can top all these games, Drive club,Infamous, The order 1886, Planet side 2, Mlb the show 14, Deep Down and what ever Ps+ games they give out and the f2p games coming. Ps4 just has more to offer and at a better price.

PS4 doesn't have more exclusives though. Since you can name PC/console exclusive games so can I: Titanfall, Project Spark, Quantum Break, KS: Rivals, Sunset Overdrive, Black Tusk's game, Fable Legends, Halo. Xbox 2014 is looking strong

Sony's exclusives are more successful franchises enmasse from first and second party and on a level of ratings. Sony in general has more critically acclaimed titles than Microsoft by a much larger margin than you think. Microsoft had more exclusives but most of those were third party and MS paid to keep most of the third parties to keep away from Sony at launch from 2005-2009 period. Bioshock itself took a year to come out which hurt its community on the Playstation. Same thing happened with Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2 until EA bought Bioware and went multiplat. Depending on third parties exclusives is Microsofts saving grace. This generation more than the last there will be less third party exclusives between them. Lets see how Microsoft fares then.
Sony has four major developers under their first party that are on IGN's top 50 developers list. Microsoft had one which is completely responsible for the success of the Xbox and they are now exclusive to Activision for ten years.

Sony's learned from their mistakes with PS3 and MS learned from theirs on the 360. Its obvious that they're focusing on the quality exclusive games this go around with all the new IPs coming. While yes both have their respective critically acclaimed franchises/developers, I see MS taking more chances with the X1 while the only new IPs I see for PS4 is The Order and Driveclub
|
Microsoft is doing the EXACT same thing they did with the 360. They are Keeping specific key games from Sony but the problem is the exclusivity is drying up, especially since Sony is launching really close to them. Microsofts first party will need to expand and not just by making them, but by virtue of creativity of reception that they are accepted by the masses. Microsoft first party is truly the problem. They aren't good at it. This is why they pay for so many games. Sony's new IP's start expandinginto matured titles around the second and third year mark of the consoles life. The only studio I know that has a new Shooter or whatever is Black Tusk. Thats the only studio I am expecting anything from. Everyone else will most likely be an outside company.
