Exclusives are the most important feature of any console when it comes to 'selling point'. Just search your soul and ask yourself: 'Would this argument even exist if the XB1 had as many exclusives as the PS4?' No.

Nier, Nioh, Gravity Rush 2, Kingdom hearts, Tales of Basteria, Horizon zero dawn, Yakuza 0 and others are all reasons to buy a PS4 over other rival consoles.

They're very niche games outside of zero dawn that doesn't sell well or appeal to the masses or me. I can state sea of theives, forza, crackdown, city skyline, path of exile, state of decay 2, halo wars 2 and more from this year alone, not all of those games are going to appeal to the masses or excactly appeal to me. Judging the video game sales on those games, they don't appeal or attract too many people. I remember you hyped disagea 5 and that game didn't sell well at all after two years. Most ps4 owners buy big third party games. Why not focus making the experience for those games better on your platform. That is what most people are playing.

Kingdom Hearts is very successful, a lot of games sold millions on PS alone. To be fair, Nioh is a new ip. If it is good, like Dark Souls, the game might sell some millions.

 

BloodBorne sold over 3 M.
