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.

 

Sorry, I accidentally got the XB1 Metascore for State of Decay. It's 78 like you said. Still nothing to get hyped over though. Games with wide appeal that don't get 80/100 aren't worth it IMO. For example, if a CoD game gets under 80 by metacritic you can be sure the game is terrible, because there are tons of unqualified know nothing reviewers on that site, that give it at high marks just for being a shooter. On the flip side there are tons of must own JRPGs out there with scores of 78 to 83, from metacritic, because those same unqualified reviewers write "I hate JRPGs the review". I mean if you make a racing game, any shmuck on the planet will understand it, even if he's never picked up a controller in his life. So if some random writer lands a review gig, for a newspaper or tech site, and suddenly has to review a racing or shooting game, chances are they will like it, even if they are a 52 year old non-gamer. Hand that same 52 year old guy a copy of Xenoblade and they'll pan it without even completing the main quest. 

Is Viva Pinata on steam? Because for some reason I thought it got a much lower score than that. Now I want to play it. xD

Rare replay is a remaster.

Honestly I still think it's a bit iffy to hype a game from a developer that hasn't had a good game in nine years. I mean, it's ok to look forward to a game like that. Just don't be like "ZOMG!!! THIS IS GONNA BE A TOTAL 9/10 GOTY CONTENDER!" 

I agree with your Atelier example, but what about Persona 5, Nier Automata, Ys VIII, etc.?
