PS4 And Xbox One Have An 'Exclusive' Problem

[djskribbles]

Who determines what is and isn't a system seller? You, it seems. You're passing your opinion off as fact.
How are Ori, Killer Instinct, Perfect Dark or Alan Wake system sellers? Or even Forza? To be fair, some of the PS games you listed aren't what I would consider a 'system seller' either (but you left out some PS games that I would consider system sellers, or at least more so than some of the XB games you've listed). But that doesn't even matter. What has always made PlayStation successful was the large variety of games, not just a handful of 'system sellers' (which PlayStation also has, and arguably more of, with more variety IMO).

And once again, you're listing last gen games on XB, but not PS. And Minecraft is not exclusive.
Your lists are completely subjective, incomplete, and sometimes just plain wrong.

This reminds me I really need to play Ori and the Blind Forest. Looks great!

Colonic War

What about Cologne of Love? Maybe it sounds a bit cheeky, like one of those movies...

More like; "properly confused, should have waited for a Playstation and stuck with the SNES poor-90s-teen" type of gamer.

Edit: CD32 not to be confused with CD-i, which I think covers the demographic better.

My earliest gaming memories from my childhood were watching a friend playing Twin Bee on the NES -great music and graphics for the time-, and Megaman 3 or 4, iirc. I remember the CD32, but I was hyped with the Jaguar and the 3D0, which I never had.

My first PC game, The Need for Speed was also released on the 3D0.

Can you tell me the list of PS4 you don't want to miss for the world? That's the kind of games I was talking about in my post. In your previous list there was a bit of everything, just hardly console-selling series most of them, if I am being really honest.

My list was focused on PS4 must-haves.

Forza used to be a system seller -gotta admit that the game is always great but kind of stalled on the technical department-, Alan Wake and its spooky silliness is something I fancy too, and I didn't mention Crackdown nor Fable because they are multiplatform.

In the X360/PS3 days, the X360 even had more exclusives, like Call of Juarez (console wise, it was also on the PC), Blue Dragon, Lost Oddisey. Condemned (a launch title I had, Condemned 2 was released on the PS3 too, I think), Metro 2033 -on PC too-, Too Human, The Witcher 2 (also on PC)...

Yet most of your list is multiplatform or games that most people have never heard of, let alone buy a console for. The issue is you don't know the Playstation ecosystem and you exaggerate the importance of the XB1 games. If you think Ori can sell consoles, then you have to admit that the 2-3 indies that are on the PS4 not on the XB1 with similar reviews are also "system sellers". But you ignore games like Resogun, Velocity 2x and Axiom Verge, because they are not XB1 games.

I didn't make my own list, because that would just be my opinion. I listed games, because who am I (or you) to say what is or isn't a system seller?

As DrJay said, I don't think you're very familiar with the PS ecosystem.

My list was focused on PS4 must-haves.

Your list was focused on what you consider a must-have.

In the X360/PS3 days, the X360 even had more exclusives.

Again, that's your opinion. It's a fact that the PS3 had more exclusives. Just maybe not games you were interested in.

Gents (Cyan in particular), can we please quit with the list warz and get the discussion back on topic.

It's perfectly fine for peeps to prefer one platform and its games over another. But lets just not making sweeping statements based on opinion as if it universally accepted fact. It derails threads and doesn't add to the disccussion.

Back OT, the dicussion is about whether the consoles have an exclusive problem. I would argue no, mainly because exclusives aren't the only games I can play on my PS4, and so why should I care if Sony only launched 2-3 exclusives in 2014, when 3rd parties put out 40+ titles in the same timeframe? Are there games on PS4/XB1 that I want to play? Yes! Well, then that's all that matters.

Xbox One console sellers:

Minecraft
Forza
Halo
Ori and the Blind Forest
Killer Instinct
Gears of War
Perfect Dark
Alan Wake --or by extension Quantum Break

Minecraft is multiplatform, Ori and the Blind Forest indie on PC. Perfect Dark?

"Perfect Dark" is a damn good N64 game in which you can fight along with E.T. instead of Natalya

How did Cyan forget MLB The Show. The literal definition of a system seller, if you want a MLB game it is the only and best one on the market.

For one second I thought I clicked on NeoGAF. "My exclusive is bigger than yours." "No, mine is huge." "No, I have pictures to prove it."

Come on boys, if you don't behave I'll innuendo you to death.

To be fair, I think Cyan is based in Europe; none of us know what MLB is.

I know, us Europeans into sports that are only played by THE WHOLE WORLD.

Don't get me started on the stop/start commercialisation of sports.

MLB has the World Series! Since I'm a yank, WTF is cricket?

Oh do tell, which countries are involved in this World Series you're talking about?

Oh God, I agree here - I've got no idea.
