What I gathered from other threads today

-Xbox One lacks variety in 2014
-Microsoft buys games (Sony and Nintendo apparently don't)
-You can play most Xbox One exclusive games on a PC (little "true" exclusives)

#XBOXDONE
:)

this pc argument counts for so much. same with ff XIV, warframe, planetside and more on ps4.

thing is, most console gamers always say that they don't want to play on a pc and for them, an "only" console exclusive is like a full exclusive. if on xbox, nintendo systems or playstation.

but yeah, for someone like me it is definitely a reason why i'm not as excited about xbox one and ps4 as many others right now since i also don't have that graphical upgrade for multiplat games from ps360 to ps4/xb1.

Wow, the Xbox One was already in 1st place on Amazon's bestsellers charts from the last shipment, this will keep it there even longer. This is very promising, 3rd week Xbox One sales in the US should be quite good, and Sunday's Toys R Us shipment will boost week 4 sales as well.

Yup, it was at 114,920 yesterday.

I think it's a valid point, just that I can't think of many XBO exclusives that are PC confirmed other than Titanfall and Project spark. If you have a decent PC rig I can see how your excitement might not be as high especially for multiplats.

You know I think I'm missing a bunch of you guys on XBL. If any of you guys want to add me my GT is YO mUThEr or let me know what your GT is.

Jay, you should have a list of people's Gamertag in one of the OP posts (one's that want to add others here at VGchartz).

Will do :)

Oh and about ACIV. Is it better than AVII or Brotherhood? They're the best in the franchise in my opinion but my friend says ACIV is pretty remarkable.

ACII is probably one of the best games I've ever played. I do wonder if ACIV lives up to it.

About the console exclusive stuff not everybody can get games for computers due to knowlegde, playability,specs, etc Consoles are simple more popular than PC even though Steam has helped out. Yes if you have a computer rig built for gaming then yes I can see the excitement being low getting it for Xbox One but you are also not the only person in the world. When it comes down to it a game being on one console but not the other helps that console because yes it will be the deciding factor for more than one person.

And yes I agree it is annoying how people approach this situation because for whatever reason Sony is the perfect company and any third party game that they get exclusive is ok and considered a "megaton" but if MSFT gets one theyre evil. I dont hear many people complain about Nintendo other than with Bayonetta which was also dumb.

At the end of the day a third party exclusive isn't much different than a first party exclusive. Simply a business strategy to keep a game that they think has potential off of opposing platforms to make their own look better. If we lived in a perfect world every single game including first party would be on all consoles.
