So two years of worth of yearly sports titles (50+ (sports games weren't just from EA Sports, you know)) and multiplatform titles with previous gen, but not on PS3 simply because the PS3 wasn't out yet (50+) is somehow a "tired excuse" when comparing two consoles with a games separation (on your particular list) of 124? 100+ games compared to 124 is "not even close" to making up the entire gap. Did you forget how to do math? And you make it seem like PSN games just don't exist. Did you forget your history as well? Well in case you really did forget..... The only thing you did get right was that, indeed, big games make the difference. When you think "360" you think Halo and Gears, not Splosion Man, and when you think "PS3" you think Uncharted and God of War, not Fat Princess. And if this is the metric we are going by, PS3 > 360 But you're using this to say XBone > PS4, but you're putting a qualifier on KZ ("made less desirable by CoD and BF4") and saying Ryse > Knack, when meta-wise, it's only marginally better and had less reviews, so technically speaking, the number is slighly less accurate. (that added more instead of keeping things simplified and apples to apples) And let's just run with your quote about how indies/arcade games are "bonuses to be enjoyed once all ready purchased the console for a big name game". Well guess what? PS4 has Outlast, Don't Starve, WarFrame, Blacklight Retribution, Resogun, Contrast, etc. and XBone has literally nothing (right now), and everything else is pretty much equal between the two. So with that being said, how is the XBone better? |
Actually its one years worth. And if you check their metas (that even cracked the 70 barrier), most were in the 70's, and the 70's gap is over 100 games. Ya. It is mostly due to XBLA and 360/PC games mostly. Sorry to have to tell you that. The list is composed of everything. All PSN games are there too. PS3 still loses.
Lists, I learnedm last gen, don't say things between the lines, or what the consencus was with certain games. Lists won't tell you that Ryse is more bad-ass and has a great story (therefore more memorable) then Knack, despite being almost the same meta. Lists won't tell you that Dead Rising 3 and Forza 5 provide more big-name genre variety then Killzone contributed to PS4. Lists won't say how Titanfall is going to be bigger then Infamous (not sales-wise per se, but just gamer interest/buzz in general).
Glad you agree that big games are the most important, which is why the indie games comment you said doesn't really factor into the equation. Again if it did....360 would be universally known as the gamers console of the 7th gen.
I'm sorry..... the point is that lists just don't work. For anybody. I know this from personal experience. It's about memorable, retail, AAA games.
