N64 launched: Pilot Wings and Super Mario 64

SNES launch: Super Mario World, F Zero, Pilot Wings, Gradius III, SimCity

PS1 launched: Air Combat, Aquanauts Holiday, Battle Arena Toshinden, Jumping Flash, NBA Jam Tournament, Rayman, Ridge Racer, Street Fighter The Movie, Total Eclipse Turbo, Zero Divide

Xbox One: Assasin Creed Black Flag, Battlefield 4, Call Of Duty Ghost, Killer Instinct, Ryse: Son Of Rome, Crimson Dragon, Dead Rising 3, Fifa 14, Fighter Within, Forza Motorsport 5, Just Dance 2014, Lego Marvel Super Heros,  Lococycle, Madden NFL 25, NBA Live 14, NBA 2k14, Need For Speed Rivals, Power Star Golf, Zoo Tycoon, Skylanders Swap Force, Zumba World Fitness

Look at how skewed that is. Can't believe you expect anyone to take it serious. 



LOL, we live in an age where you can find out anything in a mattter of seconds. Feel free to prove other wise.

It's 100% skewed. Anyone within reason can see that. You don't operate along those lines, though, so I should have known better. Besides, you used Wiki for that, which can be altered by any and everyone. 

For example, N64 launch games (all territories included):

Pilotwings 64
Saikyō Habu Shōgi
Super Mario 64
FIFA Soccer 64
Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire
Turok: Dinosaur Hunter
Wayne Gretzky's 3D Hockey

NONE of these are multiplat, for example (which is what I was getting at from the beginning). In terms of variety, exclusives were bigger at launches back then and more plentiful. You gave me a laundry list of games that I can find on a competing system when bragging about the X1. 


No it didnt. N64 launched with 5 games. WG3d Hockey, Fifa came out 4 months after launch here. I know because I bought them day 1. Also Shogi never came out here at all.

It does not matter about exclusives or not. If you buy an Xbox 1 you still get to choose those games. The fact Microsoft are also putting in 5 Exclusives is great. Ryse, Killer Instinct, Forza 5, Dead Rising 3 and Zoo Tycoon.

 Microsoft's launch lineup is the best ever for any system and next year its going to take things to a new level. 

I can't agree with this when the N64, PS1, and SNES all had better launch line-ups, particluarly when judging variety.

You missed Super CastleVania IV. Just saying don't leave one of the greatest games of all time...

Sorry to chime in, but I seem to remember buying Killer Instict Gold on N64 launch, as well as some others. It lends credence to the bigger exclusives argument.

Sorry Pal. 

Nintendo 64 released in March 1997. Killer Instinct Gold released in July 1997. 

Seriously dude. This was my main era. I had 167 N64 games in total. I was a serious Nintendo gamer.

About dat launch line-up discussion:

Microsoft could throw 100 Forzas and even more Titanfalls at me. They will never even get close to Mario 64. The N64 launched around here with only 2 launch titles. But to me, it is still the best launch line-up ever. Because I take one masterpiece of a game over 1.000 mediocre games any day. It's quality that matters, not quantity.

nice words from the company with a special relationship with MS. xD


Well, to be fair the headline could easily be

"EA: MS now back on track!"


Yeah but that wouldn't be sensational enough.

What country are you in? I only ask because I received my N64 in September 1996, with Super Mario 64 and KI Gold.

Yes, it will come down to games. Microsoft's launch lineup is the best ever for any system and next year its going to take things to a new level. Quantum Break, Sunset Overdrive, Fable Legends, Halo, Titanfall, Black Tusk already announced.

Yeah im sry I have to disagree with thatthe XBone is decent at best especially Compared to the DreamCast, PS1, or PS2 take your pick in terms of quality and quantity these systems were the Best with their launch.

Yeah USA here, so it's really apples and oranges. I happen to think that the Wii had one of the best launches anyway as far as exclusives go, back before console gamers became wholly precoccupied with budget and scope.
