Why do people still think XB1 is going to fall to WiiU levels?

Um really. I love saying this and will continue to do so.

Dead Rising 3 and Forza 5 provides more genre diversity then KZ did, since it launched alongside COD and BF4. Killer Instinct is also X1's dedicated exclusive fighter where as PS4 does not have one. In terms of crap launch titles, Ryse >>>> Knack for its story, graphics, and general badassery. In 2014 so far, X1 has the timed release of PVZ Garden Warfare and offcourse we know Titanfall is going to make a bigger splash then Infamous.

So I really find it hard to understand your point of view. Unless you include indie games, but those aren't system sellers. Games is ironically the one thing where X1 is actually beating PS4.

I'll concede "genre diversity", even though that's just something you made up to bring down KZ (if you saw Dante's Inferno and GoW3 on the shelf, which would you pick up? Are you gonna downplay GoW3 because of "genre diversity" or lack thereof? A good game is a good game, point blank, period.) But seriously, about Ryse....stop adding all kinds of qualifiers to give yourself a perceived "edge". I could just as easily say Knack >>>>>>> Ryse for it's whimsical art style, fun factor, and user friendly control scheme. Doesn't make it any less of a trash game, just like Ryse. Otherwise, we all should have been praising Lair because it had story, graphics, and general badassery. And you don't know that Infamous won't make a big splash. It's tracking over the prior 2 (in preorders) and its bundle is outselling the Titanfall bundle at retailers (prior to Titanfall's release).

Factoring all that in, and then throwing indies on top of it (which you were correct on that. They aren't system sellers. They're still there, though. edit: and indie support, in general, actually is a selling point for PS4, since Sony is focusing on it), XBone is not actually beating PS4 in games.

Your God of War example is fair, but in KZ's case, both COD or BF4 are better alternatives, going by critical acclaim anyway. GOW was reviewed better then Dantes Inferno so that is where the comparison doesn't work. Your Knack comment would wring true....if this was a Japanese forum (where its bundle was sold the most). I just say that Ryse purchasers generally have a good time with it and talk about its story, graphics, and badassery. Knack pro-commenters, Im sorry but I don't see them, at least not like I see happy Ryse purchasers. Lair would made sense except that game was downright broken (see meta). Ryse is repetitive, but not on THAT level of terrible. Didn't say Infamous wouldn't make a splash, just less then what Titanfall will do (factoring in the free game bundle and even 360 sales as a bonus). There is also Killer Instinct and while digital or not, it is the Xbox's decicated fighter, which is another genre covered.Also PVZ is a thing now, even if will come to PS4 eventually.

Overall, perception and tastes are different, and I get that. But I can at least say it is certainly arguable that X1 is more then holding its own in its game offerings.
