While I do think Driveclub is a good game that just had a really bad start, there's no doubt it was a commercial failure and we likely won't ever see another one.

GT Sport is on the way and will likely be really good.

I honestly think the PS4 needs a new FPS. With Guerilla working on Horizon I think Sony needs to find another team to make a AAA exclusive shooter far more than they need another racing game.

 

Overall I think the point JRPGfan was making was that the Xbox One has a far narrower range of exclusives than the PS4 does and it hurts MS and a big part of that is that MS isn't willing to take the same financial hits and risks like Sony did with TLG (an almost certain financial loss for Sony but a game that was well recieved and his a big hit with fans of the older ICO games).

Or Microsoft could actually do what the fans want and make a game in a genre we want instead of catering to a niche crowd. How about a western RPG like I don't know ... FABLE FUCKIN 4. The way scalebound went, it should've never even been made because with half the time and effort you spent with scalebound you could've made a legit fable game that would've sold well. Jesus, thats my biggest problem. Fable legends shouldn't been a thing. Other than that, I am into 2017 lineup for Microsoft still, just want a dang western rpg that is great from them.

Catering to a lot of niche crowds is what helps build a fanbase. It's part of the reason Sony is so strong worldwide. The person who wants Gravity Rush 2 might not be the same person who's interested in GT Sport who might not be the same person who's interested in Hellblade.

The goal isn't to make a game that everyone will like, it's to have a wide array of games so that everyone can find something that they'll like.

 

Though, I 100% agree that it's stupid for MS not to be making Fable 4. That's the game Lionhead wanted to make, it would have been a great way to add some variety to the lineup, and people really liked the first 3.
