Explain to me how PS releasing maybe 4 or 5 more exlusives dramatically makes a difference?

I always find this to be a false narative. I own both consoles. There is MORE to play on them then I can handle. 

They share 95% of the SAME EXACT GAMES. But yet somehow 4 or 5 more "exclusives" (I'm not talking indie) a year makes some HUGE difference between their catalogs.

Just to give you an EXAMPLE..  Top 100 Video Games for 2016..  Microsoft had 3 Exclusives, (Halo, Forza, and Gears 4).   PS4 had 5 (Last Of Us, Uncharted, and No Mans Sky, Ratched & Clank, and The Show)

So.. The PS4 had 2 more exlcusives that sold well in 2016.. compared to the X1..     That really is a big difference? 

Well... Actually, the false narrative would be to claim that they share 95% of the same library. The reality is that Xbox ones entire library of games available to play is about 67% the size of what you can play on Ps4. This is easily verified on the PSN store and the Microsoft store itself for each console. Look.

939 games total on Xbox, 40 of those Free to play

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/top-free/games/xbox

 

1414 games total on PS4.

Its possible that 95% of what's on Xbox is available on PlayStation, but it's impossible that 95% of what's on PlayStation is on Xbox. 

 

Inb4 "it's all Japanese games" (hint: it's not)

Hint: "They are all indies" "they are games I don't want to play"....

Holy smokes! I didn't know it was like that! That's a huge gap of games.

That's because the Internet is a stream of misinformation. Nobody's even bothered to fact check when it's become easier than ever, and often times the opinions you find yourself immersed in from various forums are largely disconnected from the real world/reality.

An easy example of that would be with call of duty. You'll be hard pressed to find someone that admits they like the franchise, and yet guess which franchise is one of the best selling of all time.... Another one would be the notion that both HD twins share most of the same library. That's disingenuous and not true.

One thing the Internet has gotten right though? Dear lord, the Witcher 3 is gotg ._.

As a generalization (that most games are MP) it's acceptable, as an argument on why the console with less games is better it's quite crazy.

I would argue that PS4 and XOne share 99% of games that mather.

Every year there is only exclusive 3 or 4 games from each side that realy important.

Lets Steam enjoy the crap indies.

Unless you buy 400 games a year 4 exclusives is quite more than 1% to have the share be 99%.

Well this is obvious :) The Scorpio is going to be superior in any category.

Now let's see what Microsoft will come up on the software side (better version of games, new games, new softwares, etc...) as well as their VR proposal (I think they will def. come up with something at E3 about that); this is what will make the difference and so far they are not letting us down. So I'm expecting a lot of good stuff on the software side too :)

I know it will not happen as the price would hike but it would be nice to include an Elite controller with every Scorpio :) And as I believe its name will be "Xbox One Elite" it would be a nice package!

Size and power consumption?
