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.


And you'd need an XB1 to play

Killer Instince
Quantum Break
Sunset Overdrive
Dead Rising 3
Ryse
Forza
Halo Anniversary 2
Gears of War 4
Halo 5
Forza Horizons

And whatever else they have cooking up, now you personally may not care for those games, fair enough. But you're making out most XB1 exclusives are on PC, they're not.

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.

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

Indies don't. Learned that with 360 in its last few years. Indies and niche titles are a bonus to enjoy once the console has allready been purchased. PS4 is selling great.....don't know what that has to do with this. Is that honestly going to be the default last line of defense for PS fans this gen?

Look buddy, PS4 has better specs, great PR, $100 cheaper, and has geographical brand loyalty, but its actual games out now are very arguably so not the main reason.



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

Good for you. Doesn't change the relevance and impact games like Titanfall have had. Bottom line the game differentiates Xbox against PS4 and helped its sales. Can't deny that.

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.

No they don't. Killer instinct and PvZ are not AAA. The restthey are even. You are also getting ahead of yuorself. E3 is coming, sony's studios are making games and have a track record.

 

Also, this notion that only exclusives matyter? Watch dogs, COD, Ass creed, Destiny will move more consoles then any exclusives this year, and PS4 is the place people are choosing to play those.

I'm a pretty huge Nintendo fan. Their output is the majority of my gaming time. I also really enjoy a sony machine on the side. I absolutely loved the PS3 (Best 7th gen console for me) and I jumped at a chance to buy a PS4 when it dropped. Microsoft has never really interested me. Halo was always kinda fun at parties, but other than that, they never did it for me. I have no interest in gears, did not want to pay for online, and don't play call of duty. 

This gen though, their output has been better than Sony's. There are many more games that I would really like to play on their console. Dead Rising 3, Forza, Titanfall, PVZ Garden Warfare, Peggle 2. They all really intrest me. These gameswouldn't have forced me to buy an Xbox One, but they did make me a tad jealous. 

Today I saw the trailer for Sunset Overdrive, and I tell you, this might be the game to push me over the edge. It's everything I want in a game. An original, off the wall story, awesome asthetic, fun looking gameplay. It looks like an orgasm on a blu ray disc. 

On Sony's side we have...Last of Us remake? :/

In short, Kudos to Microsoft. They really went crazy at the start of the generation with the DRM thing, but dammit, I really want to play the games that they are making. It is a gaint nutpunch to the effort that Sony has put out so far. And the PS4's future is still pretty bare from what I've seen. 

I say go for what makes you happy and what you like best personally! But you can't say all the games on PS4 aren't exclusive(like you did in a post in this thread) but then name Titanfall and PVZ for XB1 seeing as they are not exclusive as well. Also while I agree that Sunset Overdrive looks AESOME...NOTHING about it looks orginal it looks like Rachet adn Clank with a mix of Infamous. Doesn't change the fact that the game looks fun to me though!

Lastly the part about the PS4 having a bare future is just not true they have plenty of games coming and in the works from what has been seen. The Order 188r which looks great IMO, Shadow of the beast, Uncharted 4 has been confirmed, MM has been confirmed to have a new IP in the works, GG has been confirmed to have a new IP in the works, GOW4 rumored to be in the works already, ND also working on another title possibly TLOU2 or a new IP and even Deep Down. Those are just off the top of my head.

And then it is only the start of then gen and only 6months in so no big deal or rush both companies should so plenty of games at E3 so now orries. Your OP just seem kind of if it was trying to down the PS4 instead of just saying that the XB1 had lots of games that interested you. Anyway Peace!

What has this got to do with the topic of XB1 winning over the thread creater? You're just 'battling' for the sake of it and I'm not going to bother.

I left KI out and PVZ is actually doing pretty well. AA/AAA, their games on store shelves that are getting awareness. MS have proven so far they can compete easily on exclusives with Sony.

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 :)

Oo in your face again??????

So far??? we are 6 months in and barely any of sony's studios have done anything yet..Most of Ms exclusives ae third party like ryse, DR3, titanfall. Plans versus zombies and TF will be on ps4 anyway.

Sony has nothing to compete with, look at the sales.

 

As for baiting, that was your post about MS having way moe games, then chaning it to big games, both of which were false, meanwhile leaving off numerous Ps4 games.

 

Are you implying sonys games are not doing well , not on store shelves and not raising awareness?? What an odd pointless comment.

Titanfall won't be on PS4, MS locked it up they've already clarified that.

I agree Sony studios have yet to show anything, but there is a lot of MS first party stuff coming too. Lionhead are working on 2 IPS, Rare are working on non Kinect stuff, LXP, Next Gen and Redmond have all yet to deliver.

There is nothing to say MS won't continue buying/funding third party games. Doesn't matter where they come from as long as they're exclusive, I don't see Ryse, DR3, Sunset and Quantum going multiplat. MS will continue to make wise purchases like that.
