Does it even Matter if Sony had no Exclusives if youre just a Gamer?

Sony just proved Microsoft are chumps when it comes to first party. The second Microsoft decides to fight back on that front they will be 100% exposed. Microsoft better start paying third party. Sony's first party dances circles around them. Microsoft can outspend them for third party AAA's but they will keep getting deals as well because quite frankly when Sony wins they are dominant.

I'm not so sure that's true anymore, Stage. It's either Xbox is being more tactful of what they are spending their money on, or that MS has capped the money to the Xbox division. So they have to choose carefully. Of course this is all speculation. Still even if they were capped, it would be more than what Sony can offer thrid parties.

Microsoft will outspend Sony for sure this gen on AAA exclusives (mostly from third party). Sony is just more competent at making them. That is my point. Despite the fact that they cannot spend as much on AAA doesnt mean they cannot compete. I said outspend though, I never said have more influence. Sony has the influence and Microsoft has the money. The industry marketshare does the talking, hence why COD DLC comes first to PS4.
