Just stop and use your head. I'd say PS4 has more diversity doesn't mean the X1 lacks diversity.

The library by itself looks like it doesn't lack diversity until you compare it to the competion. 

Compare the exclusive games and their genres in both consoles libraries. There's not much point in counting 3rd party because it's shared by both. 

First, let's do a head count

PS4  
         
        
Exclusive = 45
     
Sony Exclusive = 52
      
Console exclusive and/or timed = 99/4
     
Multiplatform/or TBA = 265/0
      
Playable = 181 available to purchase

 

Xbox One

          
      
Exclusive = 36
     
Microsoft exclusive = 15
     
Console exclusive or timed = 31/8 
     
Multiplatform/TBA = 264/5
     
Playable = 174 available to purchase

              

        

 So if we tallied it up to see how many games there are in each genre for both consoles..... Wait a sec....

My main point in this whole thing is that the xbox one is severely lacking rpg's compared to the PS4 and that xbox one's library of games is starting to look like previous xboxes' game libraries. Lack of diversity. Not many RPG's. That very well may change or not. Who knows. I'm not being outragious or illogical with this. 

Are you not reading what I said? I already agreed PS4 has more diversity BUT that doesn't mean the X1 lacks diversity. Fans of pretty much every notable genre are getting something to enjoy on X1. You'll even find a collection of niche and indie stuff on their marketplace.

Xbox One has the diversity its audience primarily wants. People who want JRPGs should by all means go with Playstation. MS is not looking for JRPG audience and Sony is losing the JRPG audience to other devices. That audience is primarily on phones and 3DS. Even the Vita is a massive failure in Japan and that has plenty of Japanese support.

Ultimately, you're out of touch with console gamers in the west. What you consider diversity Xbox needs has become a somewhat niche audience on western consoles. Time to accept many of us don't give a shit about what Japan is doing anymore. Fortunately, the interesting looking Japanese games are coming to Xbox.

I understood what you meant but I disagree with "that doesn't mean that the X1 lacks diversity". If MS wants xbox just be to be a western device, yes it's library is diverse enough for that but if it wants to be an appealing console to the world, it needs a more diverse library. It not just selling in one market but in many countries. MS needs to understand that. What's the point of selling a "US box" in other countries if it's only gonna cater to one country? Is it meant to have a token presence every where else except the states? Globally in the US....

 I'm not really talking about just japanese games but RPG's in general. It doesn't have many compared to the PS4. Xbox has always lacked RPG's. That alone makes it's library less diverse than the any playstation console.
