Have to say I agree with this article, As a owner of all 4 gaming platforms, PC, XB1, PS4, WiiU. I have this to say. Ever since Launch, what were the games that killed the competition for the PS4? PS4 has had the 3rd best line up of games this gen excluding Bloodbourne which has only just been released. The system has been riding a wave of success for unknown reasons since launch. The games are no different to what's on XB1 and PC yet falls short on 1st party exclusives but continues to dominate the market. Lets look at some of the most popular genres here.

1st party/Exclusive games

Racing
XB1 - FM5, FH2
WiiU - Mario Kart 8
PS4 - DriveClub
^ Clear winner is on Xbox

FPS
XB1 - Halo MCC, Titanfall
WiiU - Zombi U
PS4 - Killzone SF
^ Clear winner is on Xbox

OpenWorld
XB1 - Sunset Overdrive, Dead Rising 3, State of Decay RM
WiiU - Lego World 
PS4 - Infamous SS
^ Clear Winner is on Xbox 

Fighting
XB1 - Killer Instinct
WiiU - Super Smash Bros
PS4 - Guilty Gear + SFV 
WiiU & PS4 tie. 

Platformers
XB1- Ori and the Blind Forest
WiiU - Mario 2D/3D, Donkey Kong Country
PS4 - Knack + LBP3 & Tearaway 
^Clear winner is WiiU = PS4 makes it debatable 

Cinematic Experiences: 
XB1 - Ryse
WiiU - ?
PS4 - TLOU, The Order, Until Dawn.
^Clear Winner is the PS4

Now iv only mentioned some of the most popular genres here and its clear that the PS4 is lacking in games and quality. The PS4 is selling but its not selling because of its better games. I am still a little unknown with the WiiUs game lineup but I reckon WiiU has the bases covered especially in the platforming genre.

E3 is looking like XB1s best year of gaming, WiiU has some Gems coming out while PS4 is hiding in the shadows with no high quality franchises we can think will come out anytime soon apart from God Of War 3 RM. However the PS4 will continue to outsell the opposition regardless of its games.

This is what baffles my mind the most. PS4s more does not equal better. What ever 1st party game you buy on PS4 there is more of a chance theres a better counter part on another platform.
 
My post relates to Metacritic scores, quantity and popularity, and is subjective to my own opinion

Tbh you're stretching and you omitted a few games to establish a point. You had a genre for linearity lol? For example the WiiU & XOne aren't tied in the fighting genre if we go by Metascore, the XOne also loses to the PS4 in this category. Now with other genres: 

Sports: 

XOne = Kinect Sports Rivals
WiiU = ?
PS4 = MLB, Hot Shots Golf

PS4 clear win. 

JRPG's: 

XOne = Scalebound
WiiU = Xenoblade
PS4 = BloodBorne + Disgaea 5

PS4 clear win.

Hack & Slash: 

XOne = Ryse 
WiiU = Bayonetta 2 
PS4 = God of War 4 (confirmed in development), Hellblade 

WiiU atm but PS4 can win in the long run. 

Action/ Adventure: 

XOne = Quantum Break
WiiU = ? 
PS4 = R&C, Uncharted 4. 

PS4 clear win.

Considering GT isn't out the racing genre is still up in air as well as open world games. The only genre the One will win handily is FPS.
