Xbox's lack of compelling games won't be fixed in 2018 [Endgadget]

I can't believe arguments being presented in this listwarz battle.

1. XBL Indie games that also happen to be on PC count as exclusives.

2. Niche Japanese titles don't count.

3. Any game that sold under 5 million worldwide is a niche title.

4. Xbox is better because you might be part of the minority of Xbox users that owns an X, meaning you can have ever so slightly better graphics than a PS4 Pro.

5. Multiplayer games with online updates (and lootboxes, & early access development & on disc DLC) are more important than all the niche games that PS4 gets.

6. Rare hasn't made a good game since the N64 days, but we should all be hyped for Sea of Thieves.

7. We should be hyped for State of Decay 2, a sequel to a game that got 72 on Metacritic.

8. A game's quality doesn't matter. Only it's sales. (This is ridiculous. Isn't the point of a listwar to point out which console has the most fun games?)

State of decay got a 78, not a 72.

Viva pinata and rare replay were solid games.

And it doesn't make a damn difference if game "Atelier Lydie & Suelle: The Alchemists and the Mysterious Paintings" is on the list or not. Unless you're talking about solely japan. This would be the same as including voodoo Vince remaster on the Xbox list.

 

That niche Japanese game wont make any headlines, push any consoles or create any hype outside of japan. Effectively the equivalent  of putting voodoo Vince on the list.
