starcraft said: But its difficult to avoid the fact that for both Sony and Microsoft, the first year was characterised more by a lack of gaming strength than any brilliant new innovations. But where this has been true for both, it has been most true for the PS4. Indeed, before Bloodbourne, it was hard to look at the PS4 and say "gee, I really need that console for game/games "X." As we look ahead to the end of this year, it is becoming clear that Microsoft has a relatively strong line-up of announced games, compared to Sony. |
No they don't
Sony has the better library and currently the better games coming.
People should stop discrediting everything that doesn't have a 500 Million $ Budget
And currently Sony has the best Game of this Gen > Bloodborne which will get DLC and as we know from experience Souls DLC are full expansions with a lot of content.
EVERY 3rd Party Game plays into the cards of Sony with having the better versions and huge games like Fifa15 almost sold like an exclusive to the PS4 if you compare the sale numbers.Metal Gear Solid 5 will pretty much get handled the same.
To add
There is no turn around - Yes they have a strong selling franchise coming up for the last 2 months of the year after 10 months of nothing.Congrats
Halo 5 will obviously sell tons and is their first system seller after 2 years.Forza 6 won't do anything to be afraid of and everyone know Tomb Raider will come in better quality to other platforms.If they don't sell the X1 this holiday for 200$+ those games people won't buy Tomb Raider as much as they would for PS4 at a later date.
And here is something to think
Microsoft had nothing but Ori,which you can get on PC, for the first 6 months of the year while PS4 had Bloodborne as their ultra High quality game and a couple of smaller titles to enhance their exclusive library
You can't change that the first 6 months were (nearly) empty for the X1 and those few 3rd Party Games performed and sold all better on the PS4 too.Games like Type0,which are merely library enhancing games in my book,sold ~90% of its units on the PS4 worldwide.
Currently Sony obviously has nothing on the scale of Halo 5 for the holidays but who cares?
1) They could change that cause unlike the first 6 months of the year which are over the 2nd part of the year is still coming up.
Get it?Sony still could announce "High caliber" games for the upcoming 6 months but you can't change the that you didn't have anything the 1st 6 months.
2) Doing good 2 out of 12 months in 1 part of the world isn't a turn around - When do people learn to understand this?
Sony doesn't seem to care for the holidays which is a good thing
I liked to play Bloodborne in March and watch the Order in February
Im glad i didn't have to wait for November to play Bloodborne cause i like to play in 12 out of 12 months per year.
And for me personally i hope there aren't coming to many more games this October > December
Im already stuffed up with Persona5,MGS5,Fifa16,Star Wars,Rainbow Six Siege,Disgaea and a couple of other games - Can't be more diversity in genres than this.
Another point why Playstation is so loved - This huge library full of diversity and supporting many different genres.
All the Japan Exclusives coming up and even games like Street Figher....tasty diversity everywhere.
Microsoft will have a huge Holiday 2015 in the USA but not cause of a turn around.
Halo 5 and probably good deals are going to ensure that but the worldwide game of Sony won't even get goosebumps cause of that.
And as said who knows - They could still announce stuff which will get accepted by Holiday fanatics cause the 2nd part of 2015 is still coming up.
But for me Persona 5 > Halo 5,TR and FOrza 6 combined =)
