Pikmin 4, Pokken Tournament, Genei Ibun Roku #FE, Zelda U, Yo-kai Watch (since you include games like No Man's Sky...), Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam, Fire Emblem: Fates, Xenoblade Chronicles X, Star Fox: Zero, whatever Retro Studios is working on, whatever the 3D Mario platformer team is working on, possibly Twilight Princess HD, etc.

Yeah, I'm not seeing it. Sony has basically announced most of their projects for the coming years while Nintendo is keeping their secrets close to heart because of the immenent NX announcement.

Microsoft has Quantum Break, Tomb Raider, Recore, Scalebound, Gears of War, Halo Wars 2 , Sea of Thieves and Crackdown.


Nin has released pretty much all of thier biggest exclusives(for the Wii U) already outside of Zelda. So of course they are keeping things close to heart for their new system. Especially considering teh sales of the Wii U. And almost all of the games in the OP are for NEXT year and there are a lot missing that are scheduled for next year. So I don't understand how they have announced most of their projects for the coming "years" when almost everything there is scheduled for next year.

I guess I don't get what people are missing saying they don't see it or see an insane amount because there truly are. Now will everyone like all those games probably not. Did anyone say anything about the competition not having anything...not at all. So I guess I don't see the point of bringing up what the competition has or saying you don't see the insane amount when it is clear lol. This is not directed at you personally that one part of your post just stood out that's all.

Read the OP, he specifically mentions the two rivals of Sony in the home console market. I wouldn't have made that post otherwise. And there's no way all those games will release in 2016, delays always happen. Ratchet & Clank and Uncharted 4 were supposed to be 2015 titles after all.

Didn't know there was a new Fat Princess coming. I didn't realize it wasn't first party, either. Who develops it?



It's easy to have a big lineup of exclusives when your output has been sparse for years. Easy, considering the PS4 have been carried mostly by multiplatforms so far.

The competition has a comparable lineup of exclusives with the caveat that many of their games are actually available. 

Gran Turismo coming next year? We been been playing current-gen Forza since 2013. By the time GT comes out that will be 3 years, 2 current-gen forza games, one cross-gen, two highly acclaimed ones and there might be a chance Horizon 3 will be coming in 2016, given that we had a Forza every year since 2011. All that is assuming GT actually comes in 2016.

This is Sony we are talking about. Some of these games aren't going to come next year. Maybe not even in a few years.

This is Sony we are talking about. Many of these games are going to suck. They all will have amazing graphics but at the expense of decent gameplay, in many cases. I would even say that besides Naughty Dog, Philophony and SCE Japan every other studio have some chance of releasing a stinker.

Until Dawn was a lucky shot. Detroid: Become Human is giving me a Beyond: Two Souls vibe.

All in all is a questionable lineup in which most games should be out there already.

They can still do much better, but considering a lot has unnanounced games, it's good, now let's wait for sucker punch, sony bend and santa monica

It's also easy to stave off impressions of being sparse when your every year is sparse. How long ago could Nintendo or MS say they had a year comparable with Sony's 2013 output? If ever. With how few games they release every year (instead of just some of them) you'd think the comparison in Sony's slower years would be more favourable for them..yet it's not.

So many games, so little time. :'(

You are correct that 2nd party is a loose term, but usually it's used to talk about a 2nd party studio and their games.

A good example of a second party studio is Rare and a good example of a second party game is Banjo Kazooie. Wild and Wild Sheep Studios don't fit the common definition as well, so I personally wouldn't call them 2nd party, but rather I'd call Wild an exclusive.

I understand if you disagree.


What? Rare is owned by Microsoft. It's a first party studio. So that was really not a good example. 

Now, second party isn't a loose term at all. Second party is when a third party studio develops a game for an IP owned by a first party. Quite simple, really.

Insomniac is a good example of a second party. They develop Ratchet & Clank games while Sony owns the IP.

Rare used to be a second party studio to Nintendo. Nintendo only owned 49% of the shares. Insomniac isn't a second party studio as they have started developing games for other consoles. AlphaDream and HAL Laboratory are two second party studios.

@bolded: What the heck... xD

A second party isn't bound to a first party. It can develop titles for every consoles if it wants. As long as it develops titles for IPs owned by another party, then it's a second party.

I'm obviously judging them solely on current gen basis, since we are talking about PS4 and PSV here. 2014 and 2015 have been underwhelming for PS4 exclusives. I'm not staving off anything, thats how it is. 2013? That was a great eighth year for the PS3. I have no doubt that the PS4 will have an equally good exclusive lineup in it's eight year too, thank to the slower years. About their slow years not being favorable for the competition? It's all thanks to the third parties that keep carrying them.  I wish to see Sony carry a system by themselves like Nintendo did with the WiiU. They didn't lasted 3 years with the Vita and that system was getting huge third party support by comparison.

Don't get confused kid, Sony is simply in such an advantageous position that they can hold game releases for years and always make it seem like theres a great lineup incomming. The same lineup that should have been out there already.
