I agree that Sony is winning, but on the exclusives front they are dragging their legs. Multiple gaming outlets have even agreed that Sony needs to really start picking up the pace with the big guns because Microsoft spends like crazy when they are losing (like they are doing right now). Halo MCC is amazing. I'ved played all of the Halo's and i've never had this much fun playing them. This is truly great. My PS4 will get a lot of love. The truly unique games will be there, but I also cannot wait for God of War to be revealed! OMG I can't wait! Gametrailers had a discussion about it today. Its pretty much in the bag for Sony if they show a trailer. Microsoft will show Gears of War so I think E3 will most likely be a tie so far. If Scalebound is a hit I think Microsoft will beat Sony E3 as well again. Also, lets hope that Guerilla Games new IP is nice. :)

I'm not denying Microsft isn't doing good I'm just saying I still don't want one :p

I enjoy all of the e3's to be honest. I thought microsfts last few e3 conferences sucked with the 360 like they would just talk about Bing, Kinect, and voice commands. But the X1 has had some good e3s but nothing that really beat Playstations. I'm not saying PS was better I'm just saying they both did good and could do better. But Level 5, Insomniac, and Guerrilla games will be at  e3 for playstation. I doubt Scalebound no matter how good can mess with those 3 names. Still, knowing me I'll get and X1 eventually just not for Halo 5 and Tomb Raider lol. 

Its perfectly fine that you want one. It wont be for everyone. Heh. When Microsoft struggles against Sony they fund and secure more games so I win either way. Sony, Microsoft & Nintendo consoles will all be in my posession by years end. Yeah, Tomb Raider will not be coming to PC or PS4 for a while, so Halo 5 and Tomb Raider are going to turn a lot of heads (especially the Uncharted fans who cannot wait for a great TPS exprience). If Quantum Break launches this year, its in the bag for good unless Sony revealed a 2015 launch title at E3 that no one knew about. They will still win, but heh gamers truly win in the end. Cinder was just revealed for Killer Instinct so E3 is definitely going to feature Season 3's characters! Can't wait!

Forgot sales, just talking about the line up.

 

Uncharted 4 coming in 2016.

Zelda (probabily) coming in 2016.

 

Microsoft have Forza, Rise of the Tomb Raider, Halo 5, (probabily) the Gears collection.

This E3 Sony and Nintendo will of course annunced some title for the holiday (as MS), but still.

 

And again. I don't talking about the sales (because we all know that without the US and maybe the UK PS4 will dominate globally), just about the line up... XBO is gonna to have a amazing holidays in the exclusives context.

 

 

I agree. But don't forget about Uncharted trilogy remastered going against Gears collection.

In 2014 both Sony and Nintendo in my opinion won hands down. The only game the Xbox One had was MCC which was terrible in my opinion. People who commentate on games are simply going to bash the PS4 because it's on top and nothing is going to change that. The Wii won last generation hands down despite receiving the MOST hate from people late into it's life and the PS3 clearly outpaced the 360 despite what people were saying. Opinions differentiate from person to person as to what is better but if you take it from this point who released the most games? PS$ won by a massive landslide and will always be criticized the most because it's on top. 

Games like Bloodborne, The Order 1886, FFX/X-2 HD, Toukiden, Dragon Quest: Hereos, Until Dawn, and  R&C may not have the single HUGE impact Halo 5 will have but their collective impact will be far greater. In other words there is no way Micrososft wins the year, they've already lost it tbh.

Edit: Forgot to mention the PS4 has already won the 3rd party battle as well. 

that is exactly what i have always thought, not just with the PS4 but with the PS3 as well, Sony has never had huge games that sell as much as Halo, Gears, Mario, Zelda etc... but their consoles have always sold really well regardless of that, heck the PS3 is the "black sheep" of the family yet it is still sold 86 million units and counting  (could end at 90 or more), and the reason to that in my opinion is what you just said.

they might not have some of the hughest games out there, but they have a lot of games (western and japanese games) not to mention the variety in genres of games as well, that while not as big as the huge hitters in other consoles their collective impact will be very strong.

for some people UC4 being delayed just killed 2015 for the PS4, but im personally really hyped for this year starting with Bloodborne on monday and followed by a bunch of games like Neptunia Victory II, Persona 5, God Eater 2 Rage Burst, Omega Quintet and Metal Gear Solid V, and other people might be looking up for games like Rachet and Clank, Dragon Quest Heroes, Until Dawn etc. the thing is there is always something for someone.

This kinda goes back to what made the original playstation king of it's time despite being the new comer and it was variety. Variety sells lol. I discovered so many good games in the PS2 days because of the variety of the PS2 side of gamestop just killed the Xbox and Gamcube side. PS3 is the same way I never heard of Drakengaurd or Katamari until the PS3 and that's what makes the Playstation brand unstoppable. The PS3 being a black sheep though is scary when you consider it sold 86+ million and counting but still out did classics like the NES. 



Current Consoles: PS3, PS4, Wii U

PC Specs: i7-4770, GTX 560 Ti, 12GB 1600Mhz DDR3

Microsoft has an uphill battle to climb itself:

Forza: Alright.
Rise of the Tomb Raider: Not exclusive, most fans who own another console will hold out.
Halo 5: After the mess that was MCC and the arguable disappointment of Halo 4 MP they have a challenge ahead.
The Gears Collection: Unconfirmed?

^^^ Now that is a game I would get an X1 for! Tomb Raider was good but the fact that I got it on PS4 and the sequel might not come makes me salty (Lots of bad memories from Star Ocean 4 and Ace Combat 6 screwing the PS3 those were childhood favorites...). Quantum Break, Gears of Wars 4, and possibly Scalebound are the games i'm holding out for.

Microsoft has moneyhatted games so badly in the past that their launches got pushed back up to a year or more last gen. They are not a company to mess with when it comes to timed exclusives. Square wants no part of Uncharted 4 and now that Sony is launching Uncharted 4 in 2016 it just probably made things worse for Tomb Raider to get attention.

 Halo 5: After the mess that was MCC and the arguable disappointment of Halo 4 MP they have a challenge ahead.

Halo MCC is fine now and the games are all great so far (i'm loving it). Halo 2 is amazing and I cannot wait for Halo 5 to come now after realizing how great the storyline truly is. I've never been this hyped for Halo 5.

The Gears Collection: Unconfirmed?

Gears of War 4...not the collection. There will be mention of it at E3 as well as Quantum Break and Scalebound.





How do you define dominate if not by sales?

It's not like PS4 doesn't have any games except Uncharted 4; Bloodborne just released, GOW III remastered is coming, R&C remake is coming, Until Dawn, Everybody's gone to Rapture, Persona 5, Disgaea 5 and many others are coming too. So you are not talking about the number of (console) exclusives either.

OP, what on earth do you mean by "will dominate this holiday"?

If Microsoft is good at anything, its making people salty. I remember friends being pissed because they couldn't play Bioshock because they had no Xbox 360 for a year. MS is no company to mess with when it comes to timed exclusives. Same thing happened with Ninja Gaiden and Mass Effect.
