I remember when PS4 launched with Killzone shadow fall, knack, and later on had infamous for 2013/2014 year. Nobody called ps4 out for lack of games. In fact, I remember Sony being called a GENIUS for have no exclusive for a holiday outside of uncharted collection (if you consider that an exclusive). It was all resolution (give me 1080p or give me death, no parity, 1080p makes you a better gamer, ect). Now it's all about the Japanese exclusive all of a sudden even-though if you add up each Japanese exclusive you might get four-five million (a lot of it from Japan) in sales combined which is half of what PUBG sold (soon to be xbox exclusive).

Xbox one x not only has the bigger resolution gap, but it has way superior textures and other items. All of a sudden it's about the Japanese exclusives that Sony got at the begining of this year even though COD alone on ps4 will be more popular than all those games. And COD will run and play better on xbox one x.

...must...control....anger level...........

...must ... ignore ....

Ignore it. It's a pointless argument. He could show a list of exclusives year by year and it would only show that Sony was competitive from the beginning. Sure, neither of them had Nintendos launch library, but Microsofts first party lacks depth and promise. Sonys is only growing with more and more blockbusters. The Xbox one x will have its launch and it will stop... for software sells consoles and not the other way around. This is why Xbox has bad been having low sales all year.

It's always been about the exclusive games. It's why people buy one console over another. Just buy the console with the exclusive games you want to play and buy whatever multiplatform games you want and you're set for the gen. If multiplatform games were the deciding factor in console choice then people would just buy the console with the supposed best network or features but they don't. 



The answer is more simple than that.

You call it bias, whilst others call it "reality". The Xbox brand isn't doing so hot. I mean, they have ZERO games coming out in 2017. Just a MORE EXPENSIVE Xbox. How is that supposed to get anyone's attention? How is that supposed to get people excited? I mean, can you imagine everyone talking about how AMAZING the Virtua Boy or the Sega 32X is? We all know better. And time has proven that.

If you don't want to see "bias", follow Xbox pages instead of general gaming sites.

The media bias, glad you agree.

Nope. Not even close. I'll just keep it cryptic...

What angered me more was the Japanese part. I mean, Japanese exclusives have done much better than many of Microsoft's own triple A exclusives. Microsoft is still using indie games to sell consoles ... Japanes triple A exclusives by far get more sales than those. Microsoft even tried to sell the Xbox One based on a Japanese exclusive. 

But yeah, it is a pointless argument. Just can be a bit infuriating to see people try to downplay the significance of great games due to their country of origin.

I wonder what they will be saying next year when Sonys heavy hitters go up against their mid tier exclusives that they are passing off as major. Xbox fans have always screamed  bias.

I want a Virtual Boy and Sega 32x



There's a few people who seem to have missed the point of the op. Oh, and Snoopy's post:
