Microsoft has never been a year round exclusives kind of company unless third parties are making games for them. Thats more of a Nintendo and Sony thing. Most of Microsoft's titles are coming in third and fourth quarter.

Certainly hasn't been a Sony thing this gen. 2014 they had Infamous and baseball early in the year and then it was nothing until Driveclub. This year so far there has been nothing, and there is nothing on the horizon until what, Uncharted 4? I guess there is baseball again, if you count that as exclusive.

Looking over the list of internally developed Sony PS4 exclusives for 2015, there must be something I am missing. Or is Uncharted 4 really all there is known thus far?

Way to set the goalposts to your benefit.  Instead let's look at games Sony brought to increase the value proposition of PS4.

Last year there was TLoU Remastered in July, First Light, FF14, LBP3 in November.  Many of those are cross platform but still increase value of PS4 with stuff you can't get on X1.

This year you're missing The Order, Ryme, Bloodborne, Ratchet Reboot, Dying Light, NMS, and other indies which all add to PS4's value in a similar manner with many being outright exclusive.  3rd party exclusives and platform and console exclusives still count for PS4 just like Ori, Titanfall, Forza Horizon 2, Dead Rising, and Ryse all count for X1.

We had the  last of us also in 2014. This year we've had the order and blood borne next month. I don't think you know what's going on.

Last of Us is definitely not an exclusive, it was a port of a PS3 game less than a year old.

And the other two games you listed are both paid outsourced games, which are the exact opposite of what the post I quoted was talking about.

Idk man, try reading the posts you're replying to? I am not the one who set the goalposts. Hope that helps.

Since when has Sony ever had year round exclusives in the first could years. Sony is known for creatig new IP's every generation. They throw out a bunch of them and as the library mounts a handful of them latch on. Were the PS3's first two years that great to me? No. Sony is a long haul type of company. They get stronger in offerings as the generation begins where as Microsoft is better i the beginning, generating hype and gradually it peaks and then drops.

there's a reason I quoted both of you and even narrowing it to your criteria TLoU was ignored.

So year round internally developed exclusives are Sony's fortay while Microsoft exclusives come later in the year....

except in the beginning years of a generation, where Microsoft is better. Except apparently not this year.

I am sure platformmaster918 will quote your reply here and berate you for moving the goalposts.

Sony has stated that they have to tone down theAAA development process, which is why they are focusing so much on indies. They outpaced Nintendo and Microsoft by 2011 in new IP development creation (as stated by Gamespot). Thats saying something on top of the fact that they were also delivering known hits to their fans as well. Anyway, I didn't come here to get into this. I am just in agreement that Microsoft tends to focus primarily on 3rd and 4th quarter. Those are their strongest times of the year and this news is nothing new to anyone.

The Xbox Ultimate Sale made up for the lack of exclusives. I just picked up Halo MCC and Shadow of Mordor for $65 (Technically, I only paid 40 because I traded in Dragon Age for an xbox card $25 gift card)
