Yet a game like Gears of War which is a tps  or uncharted 4 another tps will trounce all those games . QB suffered a lot due to other reasons that isn't related to it's genre like marketing and no mp. Also, gravity rush 2 sold horribly. It couldn't even get in the top 10 in UK on its first week during the deadest month in game sales. Last guardian will break about a million on an install base of 56 million which is horrible. Like saying a game selling 500k on xbox one is a success which we know it isn't.

Yes all true... I completely agree with you.

But back to what you originally said.... if some of these niche games I mentioned still goes on to sell more than some of the XB1 games you mentioned. Then at least sony can take solace in the knowledge that the few people that care about them are enough to beat sales of the non niche games on the XB1.

Only person that will be bitching about that is you though. So I don't know. But hey... as always bro... you're right.

Niche japanese games doesn't equal variety automatically. Microsoft has a great Sim racer, Arcade open racer, 2d side scroller game, Fighting game,FPS,TPS, Adventure,RTS, Sandbox game and more. Nintendo and Sony don't even have a game in some of those genres that are great. I rather have a company focus on games that cater to me and to the masses then focus on games that nobody has any intrest in outside of Japan. Which there is only about 4 million ps4 owners in Japan. Where is my big FPS game from Sony or Nintendo? I would love to see Sony bring back the Resistance series in a reboot. I loved Resistance

Did Sony and nintendo rape your puppy or something?

Cause dude, the things you say.... I find it hard to beliebe that you could actually mean them. Cause if you do then its really disturbing.

I actually can dig Nintendo games because they aim for fun and not focus completly on Japanese culture or a game cater to Japanese fan base. I liked the PS3 because it had a lot of games that cater to western games. Resistance games is an example of a game that sold bad, but the game cater to western gamers and scored very well. It only flop due to Sony lack of marketing and a few other reasons. However,the genre isn't niche because fps obviously sell well. I liked Warhawk, Twisted Metal, Ratchet and Clank,Mortor Storm, ect. Seems the exclusive games that everyone here brags about for ps4 are these niche japanese games that I could care less for the most part (I am intrested in Nioh however because it isn't aimed completly towards the Japanese culture/fanbase). I just feel a little abandon from Sony for not giving what their biggest fanbase (western gamers) the games they want in their first party. I am going to pick up Nioh and HZD. Other than that, I don't care for anything else this year. 

Edit: Also, my other issue is we pay for PSN and a lot of Sony's first party doesn't have multiplayer mode or when they do it feels a little slapped on like uncharted 4.

You forgot about the $800 voice communicator app.

The only thing sadder than this comparison are the people defending the other consoles.

What are the odds I already have a TV?

Yours doesn't make sense as switch comes with two controllers. Also xb1ps4 don't come with headsets all the time. And but sure why you say it costs to charge while playing on Switch.
