While they do have a handful of solid IPs, namely their core trio of Halo, Gears, and Forza, they have struggled to make a diverse library of solid AAA titles, and have also been heavily dependent on third parties to provide them exclusive titles. That's not to say they're lacking in games, but of the Big Three they're the ones that have done the least to make their library of exclusives really stand out. Sony meanwhile seems to strike too much of a balance. They've made some solid hardware, they spent the last two generations putting in an A-class effort to make their selection of first-party titles really stand out, and they haven't skimped on the services either, with PSN have been on par with XBL for years now and them having some other successful services as well. They are the jack-of-all-trades (and try to be master-of-all as well) of the Big Three. While I've never been a huge PlayStation fan, I do have to admit they are the most well-rounded console maker. |
Exclusives is not the point. Read what I've said several times now, I'm tired of explaining it.
If people want to argue the "X Last" part of it, I can see that, but you have to admit that with the "X First" part, I'm right about each company's brand philosophy.
