Really? You honestly think that MLB: The Show, Killzone, Resistance, or Gran Turismo 'technically' fall under the same banner of 'story-driven, third-person, action-adventure'? Get outta here with this bad logic. 

As for the rest of your list, keep in mind we're talking about exclusives that are actually good and well liked. Half of those entries you gave are either multiplatform (no, not just on PC), or got shit reviews. Plus, you know, the fact that I actually had to look these games up just to know what the hell Tell Me Why was at all shows that those games aren't really all that popular. 

And if you look at all of these games, there's still very little variety, if you wanna go the 'my console has variety and yours doesn't' logic bend, because all of those games on your list are super western. Even the RPGs are western. I don't think western RPGs are bad (Again, Skyrim is one of my all-time favourite games), but the more you examine Xbox's games, almost all of them are exclusively for a western (Read: US) audience. A Flight Simulator and a beat-em-up might very well be vastly different games and attract very different crowds, but I don't see many japanese gamers giving a shit about them. 

The point is, you can't just stupidly say 'All of Sony's exclusives' are the same because they're third person action-adventure games, it's just a VERY bad point and utilizes terrible logic. If you think Xbox's output is adequately diverse, that's fine. Good for you. The reality is that Sony's lineup is far, FAR more diverse, and that's why it wins worldwide. You can't come from the console who exclusively caters to western audiences then turn around and claim SONY lacks diversity in their exclusives. 

If you somehow don't like their very wide variety of games, that's fine. Some people only like 3-4 genres. but again, don't act like they lack diversity when defending Microsoft. It's not even a fight. IT's not even a competition. It's a point that really shouldn't even be up for debate. Unfortunately I know you'll argue anyway, but know you're unequivocally wrong and it's rather silly to fight. 

it saddens me your denial has turned into anger, but thats ok its a valid coping mechanism.
you might not think this is a turn around, but its a damned big change regardless

I mean.. this alone should be your first clue, especially as someone who just ranted about how there is a lot of variety within games that fall under the same genres within Sony's stable of IPs. Being a TPS comes with a bunch of different gameplay mechanics and philosophies that FPS games don't have, if you're not aware of those differences I'm not sure if it's worth anyone's effort to explain them to you because you seem indignant at any attempt to explain your ignorance on the subject. Even as someone who has a minimal experience with the Gears series I can tell you the game's "look and feel" is markedly different as well. The enemy design is different, the character design is different, the settings are different. You trying so hard to lump the two together only exposes your immense ignorance to those who actually know what they're talking about. You can't possibly expect anyone to take your arguments seriously when you approach them with as much blatant bad faith and ignorance as you've been doing. 

The issue here is hypocrisy. My original post was straight up meant to show the absurdity of Sales2099's point about how all sony's IP is the same when there's more diversity in the PS4's lineup than there is on Xbox, since there's more in common between Halo and Gears (And now Doom, now that I think about it) than there is between Horizon Zero Dawn, Ghost of Tsushima, and God of War. All three of those games have open or semi-open worlds with melee mechanics and are played in a third person perspective with light RPG elements...but there's more diversity in look, feel, art direction, style, gameplay, and story than there is between Halo, Doom, and Gears. 

Personally, I DO think that Halo, Doom, and Gears are each unique enough to warrant their own franchises, but you can't deny that all three of them are shooters where killin' the bad guys with guns is the primary gameplay loop all done by grizzled, manly men in iconic sci-fi armour killing nonhumans (aliens and demons). the fact that Gears is third person is less impactful to the look and feel of the game than all those other points. 

The only way Xbots can seem to devalue the quality and quantity of Sony's output is to simply pretend that all of Sony's games are the same by focusing on one similar feature shared between many of their games...despite the fact that these features are arguably the most widespread and diverse of things in all of the medium. 

Well I mean it's a very obvious and ridiculous effort to pigeon hole Sony's first party as being homogenous because more traditional means and avenues of criticism currently don't work. 

Your post is disingenuous. There is a ton of difference in pacing, game design, level structure, even combat, between Uncharted and Horizon, similar to the differences between Halo and Fallout, that would classify these games in different genres. 

Horizon might not have a variety of different builds, but neither does Persona, DQ or Final Fantasy, and most would consider those RPG's. Also, HZD doesn't have many meaningful choices, but that doesn't mean it doesn't have that at all (IE. how various side quests impact the last mission). There is a ton of traditional RPG elements in Horizon like side quests, open world design, branching dialogue, skill trees, etc. It might lack a few RPG elements, but that doesn't make it an action adventure game, even if there is some overlap with the genre (which is inevitable for most AA/AAA titles).

Uncharted isn't considered a TPS because you think it has bad shooting mechanics? You not liking its gameplay doesn't change the majority of its gameplay loop. If I didn't like the TPS elements, or the platforming, or even the driving, I'm not going to say that I think Uncharted is more of a puzzle game, since the former comprises of the majority of gameplay. 

-------------> * The Point

---> You

Holy shit, dude, that wasn't even remotely the point I was trying to get across. I mean, I am sitting here thinking of ways to elaborate further but nope, my first post really was sufficient enough so I'll just restate the same thing: There's more in common with Halo and Gears than there is with any two Sony franchises/IPs. I'm not saying those games aren't diverse or unique enough to be their own games - they are - and I'm not saying Microsoft has absolutely no variety, I'm saying and have been saying all day that Sony has more diversity in their lineup of 'Third-person, single-player, action-adventure games' than your reductive reasoning would indicate. 

Stop being intentionally obtuse. Not everything is binary, you know. This isn't an argument of 'Sony has diversity and Microsoft doesn't', it's that 'sony has MORE diversity than Microsoft, but the only way to claim otherwise is to comically misrepresent their games by reducing them all to the same wide blanket genre'. 

Nuance, people. Context. This is why arguing is so frustrating. Just bad logic and shitty fallacies EVERYWHERE. 

Wow Microsoft just came out and said no Bethesda games will be coming out on Playstation going forward and Elder Scrolls VI will be Xbox Exclusive. Thats a game changer for sure. And Bethesda’s past library are all coming to game pass.

Yup, the 'ol "I'm smart, you're dumb because I said so" response. My point stands pretty well I'd say. It's not worth discussing anything with you when you bring that attitude to the table, so I'm honestly surprised people repeatedly try to do so despite your complete insistence that nothing you say might not be as ironclad and objective as you suggest. If you can't even understand the full scale of Microsoft's lineup because you don't even know what it is, then there's no possible way for you to accurately describe it's variety.
