Think what you like. No one here has proven me wrong, the problem, is when I list facts fans change the subject, much like what you’re doing right now instead of answering my post with a reply to my question. Your now asking me an off topic question. Ill bite for your question. The reason I brought an XB1 was so I can play Xbox games in my living room. I am not plugging in my giant PC tower in the living room.

Now back on topic. If so many of you say 1st party exclusives mean everything then what are PS4 gamers buying? Why hasn’t any of their 1st party exclusives sold 40m+ to match the console sales? Because gamers don’t follow exclusives unless you’re an extremist. They follow the big 3rd party games hence my original post which stats the truth. Sony's only 1st party title in the top 10 is a remastered PS3 game which was heavily bundled at launch. WiiU has the best 1st party titles and why isn’t the WiiU outselling the PS4? Because I goes back to what I said. Those games are a bonus to a console not a necessary.

The fact you didn’t even bother proof reading what I said, you have just proven me right. The charts don’t lie. Now if you have anything important to say related to my post then I will continue this conversation. If not I am not going to reply with your off topic questions.

As I said, software sales don't reflect why someone bought a console. So what's topping software sales don't prove anything one way or another. Your own words prove my point. "The reason I brought an XB1 was so I can play xbox games in my living room. I am not plugging in my giant PC tower in the living room." Thank you for actually answering that question, though.

The only reason why I responded to your post was because you think exclusives make no difference or that they are overrated which you're completely wrong about. They are extremely important to the big 3. 

My point still stands. If gamers aren’t buying 1st party exclusives for a Console then what are they buying the console for? Clearly not 1st party exclusives because sale wise there nowhere near on the charts which is exactly my point. People and gamers are buying consoles for many more reasons than just 1st party games. The experience, the price, the hardware, the 3rd party support, the features and the most important one of them all… the marketing. 1st party games was always meant to compliment a console not drive its sales.

Yes i own all consoles, and i will always prefer buying Xbox titles on my Xbox, PC titles on my PC, PS titles on my PS and Nintendo titles on my Nintendo. But guess where i spend most of my gaming? On my PC where the major 3rd party support is. Is that a coincidence? No. Thats the way gaming is these days.
