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.

You just proved my point again. We're not debating what type of game sells the most or what games do gamers buy the most but why gamers bought a console. You bought all 3 consoles to play their exclusives. 

I play alot of 3rd party games too but that doesn't change the fact that I bought my console to play PS4 exclusives and japanese games. Sales can't explain why someone bought a console. I bought my console at that particular time because I got a deal on it and some free games that I didn't play or want but I chose that console for it's exclusives. There's many people who bought bundles and didn't want the games it came with. Sales don't tell the whole story or explain the why behind a purchase.

Since you basically agreed even though you wanted to disagree and I proved my point with your own words, I'm done with this debate in this thread.
