That list is on-paper. Dead Rising 3/Forza 5 > Killzone Shadow Fall (made less desirable with BF4 and COD) That is the simplified list that non PS centric fans are using. |
Most dont care for such lists. At the moment Sony has certainly a wider breadth of games and that reaches a bigger audience. In terms of what is better than others, totally subjective... I wouldnt mind playing DR3, but it's not a big enough pull over what I have to get me to buy another console.. many users need real big games to convince them to buy a 2nd console. Would seeing a comparison of Ryse vs Knack make me want a XBO.. no... especially if i didnt care for either game...
I know a number of people in the office who were primarily Xbox last gen, one or two of them had a PS3 for Uncharted (on the whole their PS3's would get dusty as they would like to tell me), but this time around most of them are PS4 users and they dont really care about the comparisson lists. They are a strange bunch, they dont bother looking at exclusives on the whole (unless its something they are truely interested in).. they just get whatever comes out on the console... and they certainly dont spend any time on internet gaming forums looking at lists :) At least 3 of the people in the office had never played a Killzone before. I have to admit before owning a PS3 (at least two years in), I had never played God of War, KZ or GT games before... I think there are many more gamers who are like that. They buy a console and then just experience whatever is on it. They dont necessarily have a plan and dont compare like for like.
This group of gamers is bigger than most people take granted for. They are very difficult to understand their buying habbits... I dont think they by boatloads of games, but may by 3-4 titles a year.
As for Non PS Centric fans... well looking at the sales, wouldnt you say that many non PS centric fans are not using that list based on the Current XBO sales...and if we consider many initial sales are from the fans of each console wouldnt that mean that non PS centric fans are not turning to the XBO because of its current games? In fact would love to know what a non centric PS fan is. I'll think you might be surprised to find out that some PS4 sales are from 360 owners.
