[Update: Switch Won] Switch, PS5 and Series X/S - What 9th gen console will sell most this Holiday?

[Runa216]

Got bored. Calculated how many exclusives the PS4, Switch, and Xbox One had between the Switch's launch in 2017 and now, right before the next generation consoles come out. These numbers are ever so slightly skewed, as some PS4 exclusives such as FFXII the Zodiac Age and Nier automata ended up coming out on Xbox/Switch, but the same can be said for Ori and Cuphead coming out on Switch/PS4. These numbers are totals for 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020. Here were the rules I used, fair and equal across the board:

1 - The games needed to be console or brand exclusive. PC or handheld ports didn't disqualify them.
2 - The games needed to have 20 reviews on GameRankings or Metacritic.
3 - The games needed to have a 75 or higher to be considered.
4 - The games were only considered for that year. Not disqualified if on another console later years.

And the final tallies for games with 75+ scores between 2017 and today were:

PS4 - 60 games total
Switch - 50 games total
XBO - 6 games total

No, this is not me taking the piss. This is me actively trying to twist things to give Xbox a fighting chance (not disqualifying PC games, keeping it on even if it later came to other consoles, etc), but doing that for them helped the others even more. The moral of the story is: This is why I'm so critical of Xbox. Y'all can talk all you want about future potential, but Sony and Nintendo are the ones going into holiday 2020 with all the momentum. And keep in mind, Sony has a handful more games coming out on PS5 that are likely to reach that threshold of 75+ scores and 20+ reviews, as well as handful on Switch before year's end. This is just between 2017 and today.

So could someone tell me why they STILL have faith in Microsoft? One year is a slipup. 2 years is a bad time. 3 years is worrying. 4 years is a clearly defined market trend. Microsoft has been a distant third for exclusives for a decade now. This is non-negotiable.

Can't wait for someone to report me for bringing charts to a video game charts site because it's not flattering.
