I was originally going to post this as a response to another thread, but to keep myself from derailing the thread more than it alread was, I decided to create one fresh to get onto the topic as a whole!

Original Thread: http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=163599

Now for starters, just to be fair, I'll outright say that I've never owned an Xbox product as their catalog of games have never distinctively appealed to me, and I'll be buying a PS4 at launch. Now to make a few points!

1.) I'll concede that Xbox One easily had the best lineup at E3, because they had more NEW GAMES to show, honestly if Sony had announced Killzone: Shadowfall and Infamous during E3, we'd probably have a different overall outlook on the show, while still admittedly being in Microsofts favour.

2.) Sony has far more, High Quality, AAA First Party Studios  than Microsoft, this is a widely accepted (while still disputed) opinion amongst the gaming commuinity, press and interwebz included. The vast majority of these studios have also been announced to be working on their own respective PS4 titles, with 12 NEW IP's in development, in which I believe ONLY ONE has been announced so far (The Order: 1866).

Just a few of my personal, favorite studios whome haven't announced or shown their PS4 offerings yet:

- Japan Studio

- Naughty Dog (Extremely curious to see what this incredible can do with the power of the PS4 after playing The Last Of Us.)

- SCE Santa Monica

- Guerilla Games (2nd game rumored to be in development.)

- SCE London

- Media Molecule (Personally ecstatic to see what these guys come up with!)

3.) From what I can tell, most of Microsofts most acclaimed studios prematurely blew their load at E3, so I'd expect without question to see Sony have a stronger offering and showcase throughout the rest of the year at both Gamescom and Tokyo Game Show. It's important to have this kind of balance, especially going into a console release, to maintain consistent buzz throughout the year.

What I find extremely odd is that some people seem to overlook, if you look at it historically, that the Xbox 360 in it's first few years relied heavily on 3rd Party Exclusives, while Sony's most critically acclaimed offerings have always come from the 1st party. And in the age where 3rd party exlusives are dying, (true exlusives mind you, as while Titanfall may be coming as a, most like timed, exlusive to Xbox ONE, we all know the sequel will be Multiplat, and on PC, and we'll have a last gen-like debate all over again in that regards) Microsoft is going to need to deliver heavily on the First Party standpoint this generation to keep up with Sony.

All in all when you look at Sony's revitilized brand value in the wake of the Microsoft PR fiasco, it's $100 cheaper PS4 pricetag, launching alongside the Xbox One this generation, and all combined with Sony's extremely strong SCE Worldwide Studios game offerings, it's a far different scenario than last generation ladies and gentleman, and I can't wait to see what happens! It's an exciting time to be a gamer.

They got a 2:1 advantage in my book of the games that been announced so far the only ones I'm interested in are Dead Rising 3, Forza 5, and Infamous Second Son. Quantum Break could join that list in the future once they release more info since I did enjoy all of Remedy's previous games.

How about instead of talking about X1 winning or PS4 winning, just get one of the consoles or both and enjoy them. Yes X1 showed a lot more exclusive content but if you prefer the PS4 then get it. Personally I thought X1 was better at E3 so Im getting it first but arguing about it gets you no where.

I'd say that's a pretty fair assessment overall. However, I wouldn't discount MS fan base and first party games as being a major draw to return/purchase the x180. Also the consoles seem so similar in terms of offerings this gen its hard to tell at this point what will really set them apart in the long run.

I was just making a personal assesment of the recent things I have been reading on this site, the forum topic I posted in particular. If you look closly, I put "Win" in the poll instead of simply Win, as I could care less which console does better, and nobody is really "winning" anything at this point, although in this case we are talking about E3 awards I suppose.

All that is truly important to me is that the gamer continues to prosper from the continued busniess and competition of the companies! However I will say, that Microsoft's recent actions have left a rather sour taste in my mouth towards them, regardless of their 180 (considering that was just damage control). 

Where are you going with this?.. Xbox games win more Best of show awards and you had to make a thread just to meantion that Sony annouced that all there studios are working on games...as if that some how makes their games great already...SmH

It's a sad day when we have to ask if the games "matter".

Sony didn't show much from the other studios because they would probably not be finished before Fall 2014 at the earliest.

Everthing MS showed was set to release this year or next year (with maybe the exception of Black Tusk's new IP).
Do you want another FF Versus XIII, Last Guardian, Agent, Eight Days or The Getaway to be shown just to have something to include in a list of upcoming exclusives ?
This isn't even including games that were "just" delayed for a few years after announcement.

Sony announced that 30 first party PS4 games were in development, they also noted that 20 of these would release in the PS4s first year, and that 12 of these were new IPs. Makes your entire point kind of moot, doesn't it? It's quite obvious that we'll most likely get to see a stronger presence from Sony at both Gamescom and TGS than from Microsoft. 

You might actually want to read the OP and my follow up post, because it seems to be the case that you clearly didn't.
