bolded: ...yeah, that's not true.

Halo 2 will be remade, the others will be remastered just like TLOU.

And it should have been their main focus to get at least one AAA exclusive this holiday period. Why? Cause people aren't allowed to play multiplats (with some exclusive content) on the PS4? Cause people aren't allowed to play cross gen games on the PS4? Cause people aren't allowed to play digital games on the PS4? So people on the internet could win some list wars? I mean whoopde-fucking-do the Wii U is getting Smash as its big AAA exclusive this holiday season, that automatically makes all the games the Wii U isn't getting unimportant. There won't be any Destiny, Fifa, Battlefield, Evolve, Dragon Age, AC Unity, The Crew and probably a couple more games that I don't remember right now on Wii U but, who cares, there will be Captain Toad, great that Nintendo concentrated on first party exclusively.

"But what about MS, they have third party support and also some big games this holiday season" you might ask now and the reason for that is simple, they are fucking rich, MS does the exact same timed DLC business as Sony, but they still have more money to throw at some third parties for exclusives (cause if you think about it you might realize that MS' first party hasn't exactly drowned people in games on the X1 yet). And what do they actually have over Sony? FH2 apparently doesn't count since it's racing AND cross gen and Halo MCC is, while a great value, still a remake/remaster so I'm not sure how I'd count that, after all it's apprently much better to repackage 4 of your old games and sell them as your big holiday title that it is to repackage one of your big games and sell it during the summer drought. So what they have left is Sunset Overdrive, brilliant. MS and Nintendo obviously knocked it out of the park while Sony completely dropped the ball.

Why should it have been Sonys main focus to maybe rush out one big unfinished first party game this holiday season? To do what? Why is it in your opinion such a failure on their part that they have apparently been forced to delay their big holiday game a couple months, something that has been happening to Nintendo several times already this gen?

I thought people bought a new consoles to play new games with new experiences, not to buy cross-gen games and remakes. ;)

I can play any third party game I want on my PC. It also has the benefit of running better than the console versions. :) 

Yeah, I think the only advantage consoles have over PC is exclusives, so if there aren't any exclusives than that console is not worth it IN MY OPINION. 

Yeah, then you quite frankly thought wrong. How many people do you think are going to buy a PS4 for the new Fifa this year? How many are going to buy one for Destiny? Right now people are buying new consoles because they're tired of the old systems, why do you think the last gen versions of cross gen games released this year are selling so much worse then the current gen ones? People just want new gear.

And the PC argument is extremely weak in this case, I don't care if you can play those games on your PC, the point is you definitely can't play them on your Wii U and that is a huge failure on Nintendos part and something they should for their next system (cause for this gen the ship's basically sailed) definitely focus on more then having at least one AAA exclusive at the end of their first full year. You might buy consoles for exclusives only, but there are a ton of people that do all their gaming on those machines and who simply don't give a damn about if a game is exclusive or not, they just want it on their system.
