The Exclusive Gap Between PS4 And Xbox One Has Become A Canyon

Even without Japanese games the PS4 has a larger library of exclusives than the Xbox One.

 

But that's really besides the point. Since this whole idea that Japanese games don't matter is little more than a defense mechanism for wounded egos.

First, I don´t ever said "Japanese games don´t matter". They do matter, it is just that there is basicaly nothing Microsoft can do to capture this audience and round those developers. The best they could get was Recore, and God knows how much they sinked on Scalebound.

Those developers don´t even bother speak english.

Two, doing the math for the big budget games worth counting (or do you want to include "Life of Black Tiger"and other on the list?), the Bloodborne, Nioh, Ninokune, Yakuza.. etc do shift the numbers in favour of Sony. 

See, here's where the problem lies. When you say "games worth counting" you shift the conversation away from what games there are, to what games do we count.

Even taking out Japanese games I think there's a very good chance the PS4 has more exclusives. But holding up "games worth counting" without anything but an abstract idea of what that is kills any chance at a productive conversation.
