Price, more power, public perception, geographical brand loyalty? Many factors at play here. Right now PS4 sells PS4, not its games.

So, what is your definition of a system seller? If I had to guess, you would only consider the 3DS as having system sellers.

A game, multiplat or not, that you can find on one console that isn't available on the other. That or a mega blockbuster multiplat like GTA that sells any system its on. Said game must have buzz and a frequent presence in online discussion, signalling a near constant interest.

Granted this is my personal definition and is not the standard. But that said, my personal list removes the fluff, the filler, and games that just are not on the core gamers main radar. Also have a 70 meta cut off, but again thats just me. It also transends exclusives, digital/retail release, and that indies, while a factor in determining a systems overall quality library, are not system sellers.

Forza 5, Dead Rising 3, Killer Instinct, Titanfall vs Killzone and Infamous.

Granted each game in their own is not a significant system seller on their own, like Killer Instinct or KZ. But together both sides provide a compelling reason to buy either console. At the moment X1 has more. But again this is a distilled, simple list. I will concede that PS4s overall library is superior.

It doesn't seem like you're following your personal definition with the list of system sellers you've listed, but thanks for the explanation all the same.
