MS is behind, they will do more for the customers than Sony. Just like they did in 2014. Only ps4 game confirmed I REALLY want to play is Uncharted 4 and I will probably get a ps4 when that game comes out. But I still have Rise of the Tomb Raider for XBO late this year and that game will be epic.


Not true at all. Sony always starts off slow. Pay attention to how last gen started and ended. Sony is off to a better start this gen than they were last gen in first party and second party development. Microsoft is doing the exact same thing they did last gen which is petition third party for exclusives to pad out their ranks with newly comissioned IP's and timed exclusives. Sony has also reclaimed their spot in first place which puts them in a dominant positiion. When Sony does well not even Microsoft is a match for them. MS is breaking their own records now and it isn't even holding a candle to what Sony has done.

The only thing that has really changed is Sony's needs to recoup so they are making less AAA titles and investing in more indie experiences which MS was once accustomed to before they forced the indie devs away with their policies. Its not that Sony doesn't want to give their gamers more, its that Microsoft cannot outdevelop them so they have to pay everyone around them until the third party allowances thin out because they need the maximize profits with multiplatform titles. This is why it seemed like Microsoft had a drought of games after their fourth year came up and Sony started gaining on them. 

Shane kim was the head of the Xbox division at the beginning of last gen and he had the same mentality as Phil Spencer, hence the wealth of third party exclusives that Microsoft had back then.

Not talking about last gen.  Talking about this gen.  MS slowed down last gen because they were where they wanted to be at.  Right now they are not.  Xbox One monthly updates are solid EVERY single month.  I don't see Sony doing much other than PSN, shareplay and soon to be Project Morpheus.  Three things I don't care about.
