First party will always be Nintendo. this gen I would have to say that the PS4 will win in 3rd party titles.

Unfortunately, (good or bad) MS falls into middle child syndrome, the forgotten one. While it is capable of making quality 1st party, the measuring stick will always be ps4 titles good or bad. this is how this gen will be.

PS3 was the middle child last gen, but was able to create an identity by alot of first party exclusives, that allowed it to create a userbase worldwide, closing the gap towards the end.

If MS can do this, ie take risk on quirky/niche titles, it might be able to win some gamers worldwide. Instead of just concentrating on blockbusters that US and UK gamers want, they need to look more like the system that developers want to take a risk on. sadly, I do not see this happening. they prefer to play it too safe instead.

Regardless of "who wins" this gen, I like to see these companies fight each other for our dollars, so we as consumers win. Competition breeds growth. and we as gamers across all platforms win.

Sony.

They'll have Bloodborne, The Order, Uncharted 4, Rime, Ratchet and Clank reboot, No Man's Sky, Persona 5, Yakuza, (japan), Dragon Quest Heroes (japan), MLB 15 if you care about that, and a bunch more that I can't remember.

Even if some of them end up being duds, they'll have more than enough other titles that will be great to make up for it.

Not made by them and is going to be on pc. In fact, Yakuza, Persona 5 and Dragon Quest Heroes aren't made or published by them either.

Anyway, Nintendo for me because of Splatoon, Yoshi's Woolly World, Xenoblade Chronicles X, Zelda U, Fire Emblem (I believe it will come out in 2015) and The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask 3D (never played the original). Also intrigued by Youkai Watch, but that isn't made by Nintendo, though they may publish it in the West.

Nintendo has two Zelda's, Xenoblade Chronicles and Xenoblade Chronicles X coming out, there is no competition in my opinion

Tough one, 2015 will be crowded with many quality games.

But I believe the winner need to be either Sony or Nintendo. There's not much contest from Microsoft's part against games like Zelda and Bloodborne.

Answering directly, I'll pick Nintendo, since Zelda is by far the most iconic and innovative franchise releasing this year imho.

Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won
