Let's take a look at the quality of exclusives for both the X1 and PS4.

All scores are used from gameranking.com. Scores without brackets are for games already released and have a score assigned. Scores within brackets are a little more complex due to the game now being released.

To come up with a score in brackets I used the following method to make it as fair as possible.

How scores were chosen, in order of importance;

  • If games was released on another platform, that score was used
  • If game is in a franchise, an average score for the last 3 games from that franchise was used, if game is part of main franchise (not a spin off), then only main games in the main franchise will be used.
  • If game is a new IP then an average score for the last 3 games from that developer was used

Scores weren't used if (including games used to make an average score for unreleased games);

  • The gameranking score for game had less than 5 reviews
  • Games that are on mobile devices

I tried to make it as accurate as I could. Scores in brackets are only a indications of the quality of the IP/developer used from past games.

Enjoy the information, chat away, avoid pointless arguments although constructive debates are welcome. If you disagree with somebody, please don't be rude and counter in a respectful and contructive way, providing reasons and evidence where possible. Anybody not following the rules, hopefully mods will deal with them quickly as to not disrupt the thread.
