Doesn't PS4 have 2 MMOs at launch? DCUO and Planetside 2?

I think only one they think it is a MMO.

Without the indie games the consoles would be very evenly matched. Considering Microsoft's new self-publishing program and the ability for any Xbox One to be used as a development station expect that to be another advantage that the PS4 will lose.

Seems the biggest difference in numbers is Sony has more launch indie games. Otherwise they are almost identical with a slight Xbox One advantage.

2 indie games for launch for each console... tied.

Sorry, meant announced!

So the Xbox One has the better launch lineup but the PS4 currently has the best mid-to-long-term lineup. Now what remains to be seen is if that PS4 advantage is due to Sony truly having more games coming or Microsoft keeping quiet about its post launch plans.

Sony should produce more exclusive content over the next few years by a substantial degree. There is no way around the fact that they have far more development teams than Microsoft. Microsoft has improved in that area greatly, hats off to them for that, that's always been one of my major problems with the Xbox brand, but that's not a gap that will disappear overnight. I think we can count on at least four more high-quality, unannounced Playstation games on the horizon.

"Microsoft has more games that are truly exclusive."

He stated some truly exclusive are timed exclusives and PS4 is sharing game with others PlayStation consoles.

Gamers who are only interested in one company are the ones who should be most cautious about downplaying the most obvious advantage of a competitor's system they wouldn't buy anyway.
