| pokoko said: There are a couple of points where I disagree with you. 1. First, the title of the thread could very well be combative. It is definitely ambiguous enough that either interpretation is feasible. If not, the OP could easily have phrased it so that there would be no doubt. In my mind, the title implies that the author believes the Wii U will have the best year of any of the consoles. 2. Second, the image posted by the author is part of the OP; otherwise, why post it at all? The comment that they will be buying all those games follows the image, not just the list. If that's not the case, the fault would rest with the author for being misleading. 3. Third, the games you're leaving off the Playstation list seem kind of odd. Planetside 2, Everybody's Gone to the Rapture, and Wild, to name a few, have all seen their share of hype. They all had lengthy trailers at E3 and elsewhere. They probably have as much recognition among the general public as Splatoon--except for Planetside 2, that is, which certainly has more. Seriously, if the OP wanted to avoid list wars, they could simply have made a title that did not invite them. |
1. The question mark contains the key, though. If it was an exclamation mark, I'd agree with you. The question mark suggests that the OP was opening discussion on the Wii U's lineup, and the chosen board (Nintendo Discussion) also supports that.
2. If the image was part of their list, they wouldn't have included the some of the same games in their text list. The image is clearly intended to emphasise the "2015" part.
3. They might have gotten some hype, but I'm not aware of them to a sufficient degree. Which, as I said, isn't intended to suggest that they aren't worthy of inclusion on the list, but to demonstrate that clearly the list has gone well beyond the reasonable level of listing if you're after a plausible comparison. There's no way that I've missed two thirds of the hyped PS exclusives for 2015. Also, I left a few titles on there that I wouldn't consider to be particularly "hyped", because I at least recognised the names. I figured it would compensate for the titles I'd inevitably miss.
As for Planetside 2, I had a quick look on wikipedia, and it says it's been on Windows for two years already... and technically, it's a 2014 game for PS4.
Like I said, I wasn't actually arguing against the possibility of listing great PS4 exclusives, Sony exclusives, etc, and I have no position on which system would have the longer list in such a situation. I just recognised that the list that ktay95 provided was clearly a kitchen-sink list, rather than any serious attempt at a meaningful comparison.
