So you don't know how they work?

Oh I do. Bias always wins out. But at least objectively a Xbox fan can make the case that it has a superior AAA retail selection over the PS4.

Let me just quote your quote you conveniently erased from the quote tree:

At least we can finally agree that X1 has the better library at the moment."
Which if you want to use Metacritic as some sort of objective measure is, in fact, wrong. PS4 has more green games than Xb one on metacritic at present.
But now you want to limit yourself to AAA retail selection? OK but given the smallness of that sample size right now on both consoles, aside from the boilerplate multiplats wich are a wash, it's not much of a claim and it's not a significant difference. You've only got TF and F5 in the so-called AAA 80+ meta range. And my PC is capable of playing TF at Xb one performance so TF isn't even a selling point for Xb one. And according to this thread F5 is a AAA flop being only an 80. So in terms of true exclusives PS4 is actually ahead by 1 point now because inFamous is 81 and Forza is 80. I don't know where to put PVZGW, I assume you're counting it because it improves the numbers, but I'm not sure it can be called a AAA and again 360 makes it not a strong Xb one selling point quite apart fromt he 76 meta. So we're really down Dead rising 3 being THE game which sets Xb one apart from an exclusives perspective, with a meta of 78 it's not much of a glowing endorsement for Xb one superiority...if you want to use metascores as an objective measure of quailty.
I will give Xb one one thing though, It has a reasonably good fighter in Killer Instinct, apparently. PS4 needs to fix that shit ASAP. Not that I care for fighters but it's still an important genre to have covered to be able to cater to all hardcore interests.
So yes a Xb one fan can make a case for better retail AAAs. But it's a weak arse case at best.
Neither console can make a strong case of having a great library of games that says "buy me!". I'm only buying PS4 today because of inFamous. If not for inFamous I'd be waiting until 2015 most likely, and probably waiting for the first price cut. Damn you Sucker Punch and Sony for making me a fool who's soon to be parted with his money!!
