In relation to PS4 though? The last metric I've seen is that the PS4 has nearly, but not exactly, double the exclusive software when including every game under the sun. 

Honestly though, I was just making a lighthearted joke  

Well. It does share over 1,000+ games with the Xbox One at last count I think.
Shares a ton with the PC too.
Something like over 90% of the games library on the Xbox One/Playstation 4 are shared with each other and other platforms, that's the reality of the industry today as developers/publishers try to push their games to as large of an Audience as possible.

I mean... It's great to claim you have a ton of exclusives but... The reality is. Majority are multi-platforms regardless if it's Xbox One or Playstation 4 or PC.

I think what Microsoft is attempting to do though is leverage the 6th and 7th gen library's to make it's game situation seem more favorable to the competition, some people are obviously going to lap it up especially if they get the Resolution, Framerate and Anisotropic filtering boost on the Xbox One X.

Again I think you guys are interpreting a little too much from my comments. It had nothing to do with claiming the PS4 has "tons of exclusives", especially because it didn't have a lot of standout ones till this year. I've been very critical about the PS4 exclusive library.  All I did was joke and then Flashfire talked about exclusive numbers. Which, yes, if we're saying Xbox One has a lot of exclusives you can't play on other consoles - than the appropriate metric to compare it to is it's competing console. And in that perspective it doesn't. 

Of course third parties take up the majority of the market. But that's not the argument. The argument had nothing to do with anything but x and y comparisons, not legitimacy, relevancy, or standhold within the industry.

That being said PC has the most exclusives anyways. And a lot of the time the best third party versions.

And I agree that what the X is trying to do is what you explained, and I think it's doing great especially for the price . I didn't think that this would spiral into a "thing",  an actual debate, lol
