^ im probably missing/forgetting some..... Xbox does have a "lack" of compelling games, when compaired to the PS4 atm.

While you are right about ps4 having way more compelling  exclusives coming up, last of us isn't coming in 2018.

Also,  like half of those are niche Japanese games solely including to boost the argument in list wars, nothing else.

In other words, If we put those niche games on the Xbox side, PS4 will still win by a clean margin.

Alot of sites have it listed as 2018, but I guess your right it could also be a 2019 release.

How much do these games have to sell before they start to matter to people?  Ignoreing something cuz its too "niche" doesnt seem fair.

Dragon Quest XI.... pretty sure this goes over 6m.

Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom is gonna do 2m+ easily (first game did around 2m, this is gonna be bigger).

Yakuza 5 sold ~1m+,  Yakuza 6 (jp only so far) is at ~400k+ and also likely a 1m+ game.

Shadow of the Colossus remake & Secret of Mana Remake, I could also see both do 1m+.

Little Witch Academia: Chamber of Time,  Fist Of The North Star, The Seven Deadly Sins: Knights of Britannia... ect should all do in the 500k range. They have anime's people enjoy as their base, and that should help them sell. This is like a DBZ game or One Peice game, just because their based on a anime doesnt mean no one wants to play them.

That niche stigma that Xbox gamers give the Japanese community for JRPG's and Japanese action games is seriously whats hurting Microsofts ability to convince Japanese partners that they are in it to win.

Uh, sales of those games are what give them the niche status, not Xbox users, lol. If Dokki Dokki Jujitsui Xtreme XYZ sells 5 million copies then it’s not niche, not matter how many Xboners say it is. Also, what some people on the internets say about some games has zero relevance to companies making those games. Otherwise Call of Duty would have been scrapped a decade ago.

People called Persona 5 "niche" and thats sold like 2.1m now.

Ni No Kuni, Yakuza, Dragon Quest, are on that list above, and was called "niche" even if their all going to be 1m+ titles.
