No, the list trims the fat. The niche, the indies, and anything that wouldn't be considered a system seller in its own right.

MLB is tricky. It is great quality and its something X1 doesn't have. That said, baseball isn't exactly a universally popular sport and bragging about this is like bragging about Madden if it were exclusive. Praising yearly sports game releases with minimal improvments are counter productive.

LOU is a very quick remaster with little real improvements. Halo 2 Anniversary improves upon 2 generations and brings back the MP that defined the origional XBox generation. LOU MP....not so much. Context.

I personally don't mention PVZ anymore. It is timed so any bragging is short lived and it clearly isn't selling much on X1, likely due to Titanfall.

The rest you mentioned are very niche. People aren't exactly door crashing Best Buy to play FF14 for PS4.


Umm no, for one you dont decide whats relevant and whats not, thats different for every person. Also, he ad an indie and a remake fro x1 in his list, and games that we dont even know if they are coming this year...Head the head ps4 has more variety right now period.

I don't decide....the people do. FF14 sales.......yup this ain't a system seller. Get it? We are talking games many would buy the hardware for...not a handful. Wanna talk about which console has the best niche and indie titles? Make a thread.

PS4 more variety? Absolutely. That's me talking. More system sellers? Highly questionable.



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

They don't tho, they don't sell consoles and they don't get attention, this seems to be something people are clinging onto this gen. The big titles are what get people excited and buying consoles and the reason the industry is as big as it is, not indies.

Rime can not compare to Sunset Overdrive even if you think Rime is more fun.


So now your changing your argument, your first post never said anything about only BIG titles, you even mentioned indies Plants versus zopmbies. Your list is a biased joke. Sony also has not announced most of their big proojects, sony has more games right now then x1.

 

You mention halo anniveersary, ignore TLOU.

You mention Plants versus zombiwes, leave out a bunch of great PS4 indies like resogun, Outlast, Dead Nation, Don;t starve.

Where is MLB the show?

Where is deep down?

Where is planet side 2?

FF14?

 

Your list is horribly boased. Some on your list is not going to make 2014 for xbox either, where is UC4?

He don't decide, lack of sales shows it.

Sigh....the gap grew by a slower pace. That was the impact.


Heh. That's your victory, i guess. "We got stomped a bit less". Ok, you can take it. You win.

I have no problems enjoying superior games with more relevance. You enjoy looking at numbers, im sure it is just as fun LOL.


didn't you just use sales numbers as measuring a game's relevance? so I guess you enjoy "superior games with more relevance" because you look at their sales numbers...? Nice contradiction.

 

Yes, i'll enjoy myself as i have. Playing PS4's true exclusives, while having the ability to play TF and GW on my PC. Best possible scenario without splashing the cash on too many consoles :)

PS4 has more sales because it is $100 cheaper 

All of last gen this line was why the PS3 was said to be behind the 360 (many xbox fans denied it as the reason) and now the roles have reversed. The xbox faithfull have now used this line as their defensive model.  I find it kind of of hypcritical to be used so eagerly


Now many PS fans say it isn't the case as well. These type of arguments are useless because once the shoe is on the other foot, arguments flip. It doesn't stop people from using them constantly though. I recall when indies didn't matter, games on xbox and pc don't count because they were not exclusive to the xbox, and let's not go into paying for LIVE. Now look at those arguemnts.

Good point. Does not change the fact the 360 had a whole years sales advantage and that a lot of the years the Ps3 was a whole $200 more than the 360 in the USA not just $100. I kind of left that hole in my thought process out on purpose . The 360 did have better live games all gen in my opinion, but it did not count as much towards falling behind the gen. 

In fact, I like the 360 hardware better than the PS3, including the controller. Overall, I prefer the PS3's games and the companies policies more. Not a fan of MS's policies mostly. I cannot comment on the new ones both much yet though.

Libraries sell systems. 7.5 versus 4.4...ps4 is doing fine.

That was my whole point, I've always maintained this.

You mention halo anniveersary, ignore TLOU.

Halo Anniversary is an entirely new game/remake, it's not just a port of a year old game ...

You mention Plants versus zombiwes, leave out a bunch of great PS4 indies like resogun, Outlast, Dead Nation, Don;t starve.

Garden Warfare indie? Lol you realise it's a TPS retail game right? Nothing indie about it. I also left out Peggle 2, Max, Lococycle and Killer Instinct.

Where is MLB the show?

 

Where is deep down?

 

Where is planet side 2?

 

FF14?

 

Your list is horribly boased. Some on your list is not going to make 2014 for xbox either, where is UC4?

All those games are coming to XB1 in 2014, QB and SO confirmed.


The first 2 should definitely be added, the last 2 are none events. Just like Project Spark, Zoo Tycoon and Kinect Sports Rivals, great games but relatively non events.

My point is the games that get people buying systems.


You dont decide that every individual buys a game system for them not what SEECE thinks. Sorrry you dont get to move the goal posts to suit your argyment,. You brought up planst versus zombies contradicting yuor own post.All those games appealed to some people period. PS4 sales speak for themselves.

 

PS:: Sunset overdriv  wont be a big game.... it's from a b level developer.

I'm not talking about every individual gamer am I? Else everything would be a system seller, please learn the lingo. System seller = games that will move an actual number of hardware off shelves.


Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare isn't indie. PS4 is selling well because of goodwill and a cheaper price. Sunset will do 2m easy, that's relatively big. I don't think you realise how little indies sell tho? Apart from Minecraft, even the "biggest" of indie's only sell around 2m, most struggle for a few hundred k. They play second fiddle to big AAA retail releases.

I did, losing allows one to revaluate priorities. But my past personality isn't what we are talking about. Nice try, and deflection.

I am not talking about PC. This is X1 vs PS4. By mentioning the PC, you by default concede  by admitting you need something other then a PS4 to do what only a X1 can do.

Ah back to the price, yet x1 was the same price in march, 360 was cheaper then ps3 and had ax extra year and still ps3 sold better....Hmm, there is a LOT more to it then price, public perception, brsnd recognition, ...saying it's just price is a gross simplification of how global markets and the cunsumer systems work.

 

Again, yuo dont get to decide whats relevant and whats not to fit your argument, it doesn;'t work tjhat way, I know several people who got a ps4 due to it's already strong indie support.

 

Libraries sell systems, and people know sony always delivers, sony first party studios are not getting paid to stare at walls all day, people know Uncharteds, new ip's are coming as well.

Libraries along with price, public perception (ingrained bias in some countries) controller, OS, friends, paywall incentives ect.

If you really think sales are based on libraries then XB1 would be winning, because your average joe cares more about Sunset Overdrive, Titanfall, Dead Rising and Forza than Rime, Transitor and Resogun, to quote you, the sales show that.

Both have indies and AAA titles, but MS has more AAA and Sony has more Indie.



 

I "need"? lol. I'll always have a PC no matter what. I use it for everything. And it's my main gaming platform. What I do need is a PS4 to play PS4 exclusives, like i needed a PS3 to play PS3 exclusives.
