list snipped for lengths sake


LOL @ Wasteland 2 an indie. Also, it's not exclusive. It's on Xbone and PS4. Where it retails for $40. Ignoring the amount of content and work that goes into a game because it is scalable and can be played on older hardware and labeling it an indie as such is just nonsense. And PC gaming is chock full of games like that which unlike Wasteland 2, will never come to consoles.

If your criteria for exclusive is "can be played on one platform and not the other" then why'd you even list PC and leave Xbox out?

2014: 5 exclusives 80+, I guess all but Kalimba would "count" for you.
2015: 5 exclusives 80+, all "AAA", not counting Tomb Raider since it's no longer exclusive.
2016: 5 exclusives 80+, all "AAA" but FRU, which was a fuck awesome Kinect title.
2017: 1 so far, would be 2 but Halo Wars 2 is at 79.

So it's strange to see you say "Microsoft has given up on exclusives" as if they have zero but going by your own definition, the Xbox would outclass the PC in exclusives that matter. Equally weird is you dismiss Microsoft as having given up on exclusives and yet all 11 of those exclusives that by your definition count are games they developed or published where as with the PS4 list 11 of those 19 titles are either made or developed by Sony, the rest are de facto standard Japanese exclusives Sony had nothing to do with or weird exclusives that shouldn't be on the list like uh, Arkham Knight. So 11 exclusives that matter by your definition from both Microsoft and Sony and yet Microsoft has given up on exclusives and Sony is doing a phenomenal job with them. Makes sense.

edit, my math was off, it's actually 14 exclusives that count by your definition from "given up on exclusives" Microsoft versus 11 from Sony. lol. I'm just gonna bow out of this thread.

Wasteland 2 was funded by Kickstarter. How could you possibly think it's not an indie title? I left Xbox out because it is generally agreed on these forums that MS doesn't have many exclusives. But here's a list for you...

2016
Forza Horizon 3
Gears of War 4

2015
Forza 6
Ori and the Blind Forest
Halo 5

2014
Forza Horizon 2
Titanfall
Sunset Overdrive

That's every AAA XB1 game rated 80% or higher that you can't play on PS4 from 2014 to 2017. I even threw Ori and the Blind Forest in there for good measure.

Now let's do a list of high rated XB1 games that can't be played on PC from 2014 to 2017...


2016
Forza Horizon 3
Final Fantasy XV

2015
Forza 6
Halo 5

2014
Forza Horizon 2
Sunset Overdrive
Arkham Knight

If not for the yearly release of a new Forza game, XB1 would have 5 exclusives vs PS4, and 4 exclusives vs PC.

Back on topic though. PS4 has been successful because it has a wide range of quality titles that sets it apart from its competition. If you look at the libraries of the DS, 3DS, and PS2 we can see a pattern emerge. Lots of good games that noone else has, and plenty of variety to please every one.
