Fei-Hung said: It's not so much about what exclusives they themselves launch, it is about what exclusives buyers get to play. In terms of games, since launch, looking at a 12 month period PS5 owners will have: 1) Miles Morales 2) Demon Souls 3) Removed destruction all stars 4) Oddworld 5) Returnal 6) Ratchet & Clank 7) Horizon Zero Dawn 8) Kena 9) Deathloop 10) Ghostwrite 11) Stray 12) final Fantasy Remake Thing Meanwhile Xbox series X will have: 1) halo Infinite 2) Forza 8 3) Scorn 4) crossfire 5) flight simulator 6)Gears Tactics 7) The Medium 8) The Gunk 9) The Ascent 10) Tunic 11) Warhammer 40k:Darktide 12) Twelve Minutes 13)Exomecha 14) Stalker 2 15) Lake 16) The Last Stop 17) Second Extinction 18)Call of the sea That's 11 big games compared to a possible 4 or 5. Granted the future looks different with Zenimax as they will have a larger output once the gen has hit it's stride, but by then Sony will have probably bolstered their teams too if they haven't already. For the first time ever, MS and Sony will be in equal footing with teams and games output. It will be interesting to see if MS can keep up with 2-3 big game releases every year on gamepass day one. Also, I love Sony are investing into big blockbusters. I haven't bought a state of the art console for indie games and or smaller games. Yes I love my Hotline Miami, Abzu etc but those are snacks. I want my big Wagyu of games that are filled with spectacle etc. That's why I bought my big TV, my soundbar and my new console. As long as Sony continues to outsource these smaller games, everyone gets what they want. |
The problem with making list wars when you're biased for one side, you tend to exclude games on the other.
