 Where is your planet?


Because in my planet games like Ocarina of time, Metroid Prime and Mario Galaxy exists, and they had even better critical reception... or are you talking about the Grammies of the game industry? Because that´s... funny.

So if a console is terrible the first years but gets better at the end is better than a console that is amazing the first years and average the last ones?

Is now the last year of a console the one who decides wich console is the best?

Where is the logic of that?

Every console gets better every year until they die. Doesn´t matter if their best game is released the 5th year or the second one. In fact, is better on the second one, because you buy the console for some good reason, not just blind faith.

Here on earth, in reality. Look it up. Most awarded game of all time, surpassing elder scrolls.

 

To be entirely honest, if I bought a console year one and knew full well that that was the best year I'd ever get for exclusives then I'd be disappointed. Especially if that was proceeded by a year or two long dry spell.  And for me the 360 stopped holding my interest after gears 3 came and went. There was literally nothing else to look forward to despite the fact that you think this is somehow good. 

 

What sounds better on paper?

Release schedule A):

1st year - 1 exclusive

2nd year - 2 exclusives

3rd year - 3 exclusives

4th year - 4 exclusives and so on

 

Release schedule B) 

1st year - 3 exclusives

2nd year - 4 exclusives

3rd year - nothing

4th year - nothing and so on

 

Somehow no matter what release schedule B is still getting better every year according to you. As far as Nintendo goes, I respect them as a company for not being complete sellouts. Btw I've never ever purchased a product on blind faith. I'm an extremely diligent shopper who does thorough research before making more expensive purchases. I'm informed. And with my current stance on our industry, I'm going off of precedence, not blind faith - as in we have three previous gens to analyze and deduct the tendencies of a company. My "faith" isn't anymore blind than your assumption that there will be an unannounced Mario game. 

 

One last thing - I never said Sony starts out badly. Bloodborne is looking to be a breakthrough success. Drive club is incredibly underrated, nothing will change my opinion on that. That's two must have AAA exclusives that both happen to be new IP as well. What I did mean though, by that wine content, is that I know it's only going to get better. A lot of things are pointing toward another golden age of gaming for Sony gamers. We can see it. The PS2 is back and I'm thrilled for the return.
