Forums - Gaming - Exclusives with maths: 1486 points for PS4, 791 for XBO, 2455 for Wii U

Sure, go ahead :)


To be fair a PS4/XBone comparison is possible because aside of the exclusives they share the same multi platform games. Wii-U misses out on most of those. So compared to Wii-U games like AC, COD and even Fifa or Madden are console exclusives on PS4/XBone. Adding that would make their scores waaay higher that Wii-U's. Or if we inatead deduct the points of all the multi platform games Wii-U misses it would probably end up with a negative number.

The term exclusive doesnt make much sense here, one console offers a ton of PC ports while the other doesnt. I would like to see a list of pure exclusives not available on any other device. Not sure why the X1 and PS4 get credit for games that have reviewed well on PC and made there mark on PC.

For the record, not that it will make a difference, FM5 sits on a 79 meta not a 78.

What's stopping you from making one yourself?


I dont have the time, plus there are dozens of the same lists. Suprised no one has actually just made a pure exclusive list yet.

Maybe you should take that as a sign that no one else cares about such a list then...

I care, so your term *no one cares* is invalid. Seems like alot of fans dont want to make a list excluding PC games. I wonder why?

But you should know math is evil..

If the thread was about games available on the platform, then sure, the Wii U would look far worse. But the thread is just about exclusives calculated by a fairly simple formula. The Wii U still has the most highly rated exclusives, and that is reflected in the sheet.
I'm not trying to say "Wii U > all" or diminish what PS4 or XBOne have to offer.
I'm not even trying to give a recommendation to buy a Wii U, because what console is best for you is purely based on what kind of games you like.
It doesn't matter how many exclusives a console has in total, but how many games it has that you want to play.

My term was actually 'no one else cares'.

And maybe no one wants to do such a list because, quite frankly it doesn't matter. PCs don't really compete with consoles so it really doesn't matter if they share games.

Well it does matter and i am not the only one that wants a list without multiplats. As you said, PCs dont compete with consoles however in these lists comparison they make a massive difference. Dont include them if they dont compete.



I am a guy who loves having physical copies of games. I can't stand digital only releases, cause I want to feel like I "own" the game.

With that being said, I feel that taking a 70% hit off of the score simply because it's download only is way too much. The mathematical equation needs to be reworked. Nintendo Land is not better than Resogun, yet Nintendo Land scored four times the points as Resogun.

Eh, just a thought.

I know NSLU was also offered at retail, but it's also DLC for NSMBU, so I counted it as downloadable game only.
It's a compromise, because If I'd count it as a full game, then I'd have to look at other DLC and then things get messy.

Somehow I skipped "Your shape: Fitness Evolved 2013". Could be because it's from Ubisoft and I still hold a grudge towards them because of the Rayman Legends delay, and I didn't think Ubisoft still had an exclusive Wii U "game". :)

But you're right, I'll have to add it as it fits the criteria.
