Talking about exclusives while half the games pictured are multiplats.

To all those people that said "Sony's trying to push WatchDogs/Destiny as exclusive", do they now have any comments about how Microsoft is outright claiming CoD:AW, AC:Unity and Evolve are "exclusive"?

2nd time i've put this but...

These article titles always sound like someone is snitching to a teacher "miss miss, Microsoft said they were the beeeeest, tell him off miss!!!"

"Badboyz09, you are the person bringing the "no games" argument up, why are all you people so petty? (Fanboys) - From a neutral....please grow up.

uptownsoul3558d ago (Edited 3558d ago )

@KNWS "You mention DLC in the list too for 2014" I know Xbox fans are talking with as many times as i hear Killer Instinct Season 2 as if it's a new game. Infamous First Light can be played stand-alone (without Second Son). Wake me up when Killer Instinct is a complete fighting game, you know with ALL the playable characters.

elhebbo163558d ago

@badboy wouldn't the Xbots say the X1 HAS games? not the other way around?

NatureOfLogic_3558d ago

@KNWS, So what Xbox gets two Forza games within a year. They both bring nothing new to the table. Forza 5 was a step back with content and cardboard cut out crowds, Forza Horizon looks like a colorful cartoon racing game for Xbox 360. Meanwhile Evolution delayed Driveclub, which is now arguably the best racer ever seen on consoles. You can keep the rushed uninspiring exclusives.

GiggMan3558d ago (Edited 3558d ago )

Why is it about exclusives now? For the last 3 years of the 360's generation exclusives didn't matter, numbers did. Every month MS, Major Nelson and others would pull NPD numbers out their hat.

Now all of a sudden times are changing. You don't hear anything concrete about NPD numbers anymore and it's all about exclusives. The only reason they are on this exclusive kick is because there is nothing else to brag about (and exclusives is an opinion that every Xbox fan will agree with anyway)

They can't talk about numbers or power because they are getting beat in both of those areas. Hell they can't even talk about Kinect anymore because they proved themselves that people aren't interested when the released the kinectless skew. Also may I add that they said it would never happen because Kinect is an integral part of their system.

This just goes to show that MS switches gears on the fly whenever they chose.

ThanatosDMC3558d ago

Sad thing is PS4 is has 3-4 times the games than the X1 has.

Eonjay3558d ago

Microsoft and classy do not belong in the same sentence. They are always pulling crap to see what floats, for the the past 3 years they have been doing this. You would think more people would wise up.

choujij3558d ago (Edited 3558d ago )

Looks like a real life memory leak occurred and they forgot Nintendo, Sony and PC gaming existed. XD

4Sh0w3558d ago

lol, I certainly hope microsoft thinks they have the best lineup, what's wrong with that? I wouldn't be offended at all if/when sony says they have better games. In this case I agree with micro, I'm enjoying the games, tv integration and all the updated functionality so far.

zeee3558d ago

MS surely are entertaining us. Not with video games but with their never-ending 180s and stupidities!

Can't wait for the next one :D

AngelicIceDiamond3558d ago

No AC, and COD are exclusives to X1!

But on a serious note.

If they wanted to boast exclusive 3rd party it would be the content that's coming to it.

Lol MS the masters of advertisement and even they're screwing that up.

SilentNegotiator3558d ago

Somewhere out there, there's an Xbox fan named "Everyone"

r2oB3557d ago

@ KNWS

You do an excellent job of conveying your ignorance, good job there. Xbox fanatics will do anything to improve their lackluster exclusive list. Including:

- KI Season 2 hype, which is nothing more than a DLC expansion to the first game, just adding more characters to a game that lacked so many.
- Hype for the Halo 5 beta. Microsoft actually listed this as a top rated exclusive. Seriously, a beta lol. And the Xbox fanatics ate it up. Betas a nice and all, but hyping them up as AAA top rated titles is a bit of a stretch.
- Last, and certainly not least, Microsoft scrapped 3 Xbox 360 games (Ryse, Dead Rising 3, and KI) to fluff their Xbox One launch line up. Once again, Xbox fanatics ate it up, completely overlooking Microsofts blatant abandonment of the 360 userbase.

There is nothing wrong with liking the Xbox One or preferring its games, but all this shit talking Xbox fanatics do about exclusives can very well bite them in the ass. Remember the 360 had awesome exclusives the first few years of its life cycle (much better than the Xbox Ones exclusives), but how did that turn out? By 2008 the exclusives began to dwindle and by 2010 the list was practically empty, rather pathetic.

Xbox fanatics make me laugh.
- sales mattered, but not anymore since Sony is dominating.
- head 2 head comparisons mattered, but not anymore since Sony is dominating.
- multiplats were the lifeblood of the industry, but not anymore since Sony is dominating.
- Indies (remember XBLA?) were awesome games, but not anymore since Sony is dominating.
- exclusives mattered, until about 2009 when Sony began to dominate. Now they matter again because there are some for the Xbox One (what about the 360?), but let's see how long it lasts this time.

XB1 does have the best exclusives, even the most notorious ps4 fanboys admit that. 99% of the time I have heard ps4 fans brag about hardware and game specs, very rarely do I ever hear ps4 fans talk about games. I used to put up about a list of XB1 games and invite ps4 fans to match my list, but very few actually wanted to compare games. The ones that did compare would have a long list of indies no one has ever heard of.

So again I invite anyone to tell me how the comp has better games than XB1. We already know XB1 had the better launch lineup, so lets look at now until spring 2015.

XB1- Sunset Overdrive, Forza Horizon 2, Project Spark, Halo MCC, Ori and the Blind Forest, D4, Fable Legends, Quantum Break.

One last note: This doesn't even include announced games like Phantom Dust, ScaleBound, Halo 5, and Crackdown or the inevitable Gears of War. Only those in extreme denial would say XB1 doesn't have the best games now and in the future. Also you don't heae Phil Spencer talking about indies and remasters constantly.

@mkis I just saw BadBoys comment above, it is a bunch of no name, free to play, and indie games. That list didn't impress me. Hell I doubt ps4 fans have even heard of those games. For instance WTF is tropico 5. NVM I looked it up, it's another game already out on steam like many of the ps4 games.

sonic9893558d ago (Edited 3558d ago )

i think if you saw the above comments you will get a better idea about how many games are coming to the PS4 at the same time you can guarantee that PS4 will be supported in the long run with even more games .
why PS1 PS2 PS3 say thats the case so it will be no different here on the other hand what makes people so sure that microsoft will support the ONE appropriately lets see the Original Xbox ( died too early and got owned BY the PS2 in every department ) the 360 ( was somehow supported at the early years but then they left the console for 3rd party games also it had the least number of exclusives of any console at the time PS3 and WII ) .
now what will make it any different for the ONE .

hello123558d ago

Truefan1@ Whats even more striking about your list all this was announced this E3 what's going to happen next E3. Sony lineup is bloodborne, order uncharted

Sony fans are delusional your list proves with out doubt Microsoft has more AAA games.

OrangePowerz3558d ago (Edited 3558d ago )

By now I don't even need to read your posts anymore before clicking on disagree.

It is your personal opinion that they have the better games.

You complain about PS4 users talking about indie games while you list one yourself.

D4 is something we haven't really seen yet and it could easily turn out to be horrible to play like other Kinect only games.

If you list the Halo MCC you cam put it up against TLoU remaster.

Project Spark isn't X1 exclsuive amd Quantum Break is still quite a while away.

That leaves you with Fable, Sunset Overdrive and Forza Horizon 2.

Only those with no recollection of how MS treated their core fanbase in previous genrations a few years after launch would think that MS will deliver great ges for many years to come for the core userbase.

In my opinion Sony has the better studios.

You only see less games of them at the moment because they actually still supported their last gen userbase last year and this year, but you, KNWS and your fellow Xbox brothers have no idea how game development works so obviously can't recognize that fact.

MysticStrummer3558d ago

Wow, with all those clearly superior titles XB1 must be really flying off the shelves and leaving PS4 in the dust!

Oh… the world prefers PS4.

Better luck next gen.

lifeisgamesok3558d ago

So true Truefan

I can't believe Sony fans put Natural Doctrine on their list...

Have you guys seen this game yet?? It really shouldn't be on any list

Christopher3558d ago (Edited 3558d ago )

***XB1 does have the best exclusives, even the most notorious ps4 fanboys admit that. ***

I do like how you say that with such confidence. It's like me trying to say

"PS4 is the best console hardware, even the most notorious xbox fanboys admit that."

or, how about

"Kinect should have always been optional, even the most notorious kinect fanboys admit that."

or, we can go even further

"PS4 will always have better graphical quality and framerate than XBO on multiple platform games, even the most notorious PC fanboys can admit that."

Sounds silly, doesn't it?

Edit: Also... you don't know what Tropico V is, call it no-name... how can a game with 4 preceding games be no-named? It's also one of the more highly anticipated upcoming PC games. People like Tropico.

Insomnia_843558d ago (Edited 3558d ago )

You sound really hurt. Are you having a hard time with so much greatness coming from Sony and Playstation? You are probably kicking, screaming and crying at this very moment. What a waste of a human life you are. What a sad individual.

Anyway, as I said in that other article, Microsoft and their arrogance, it's disgusting! Goes to show the kind of personalities that work for Xbox. Very irritating people.

pyramidshead3558d ago (Edited 3558d ago )

What hurts Xbox fans real bad like truefan1 here, the king of the Ms apologists along with KNWS and lifeisagameok too is that PS4 since launch has had a larger game library.

It continues to have the bigger, more diverse in both price and size, going forward.

Why is that this gospel that spills from your toxic fanboys minds when no-one is buying Xbones? (see NPDs). Why is it if the Xbone has more games and 'better exclusives(lel) then why is no-one buying the damn thing? I think these overcompensating comments on PS4 games is showing some immense insecurity among xbone fans. It's extremely telling, especially if viewed from your POV the PS4 is still crushing the Xbone in being a better gaming console in both performance...while having no games? lol Such logic you guys have.

PS4 continues to have more games, fact. Not subjective opinion there, sorry.

MeliMel3558d ago

Lol... Xbox has some great games. So does the PS4. I enjoy them both. I also(LOL)playing the remasters on PS4. I have TR,Injustice, The Last of Us next week. Im good baby.....

remixx1163558d ago (Edited 3558d ago )

Well truefan if were being real here by spring 2015 ps4 will have the better lineup period, you can choose to be ignorant to that fact but the truth is the "comp" does have better exclusives and much more coming.

If were naming All ps4 games then the ps4 lineup is just strong. Walk with me here, all the better looking,multiplats coming to ps4 - then theres driveclub, little big planet 3, the last of us remastered,beyond 2 souls remastered, guilty gear, uncharted 4, everybodys gone to rapture, bloode borne, the order 1886, infamous first light, rime and the last gaurdian - not to mention SOE will be bringing its mmos to ps4 as well with dcuo (already here), everquest next, H1Z1 and planetside 2 - and lastly we don't also have unannounced games coming like nauty dogs second triple AAA game they just announced they are working on, gorilla games' new ip, media molecule's new ip, quantic dream's new ip, sony santa monica's new ip, gorrila Cambridge's game (I think its killzone , not sure), sony bends' new ip, pixel opus' new ip, sucker punche's next game, studio japan's new ip, level 5's new ip (2nd party), etc... - also not to mention the absurd amount of indies and ps now bringing ps1 ps2 and ps3 games to ps4 as well as the unannounced japanese exclusives like persona and the tales series, I know this was just one big run-on sentence but I had to get it all out at once, I probably missed a game/ studio or 2 but its cool.

Truefan1 I will not deny the XB1 its great launch of games or that it has a great lineup coming but to say it has netter or more exclusives/ games in the pipe than ps4 is just ridiculous?, and the funny thing is this runon of games for the ps4 is never going to stop sony has the studio, this awesome indie support and an amzing system. XB1 on the other hand, its future is uncertain, microsoft has a history of abandoning its audience but hey maybe they'll suprise us. Ps4 I don't even have to guess if im getting and good console or not I just know its coming

GiggMan3558d ago (Edited 3558d ago )

Everyone saying PS4 has no games need to be careful and give this generation some time. I recall people saying that about the PS3 vs 360 and you know how that turned out.

360 came out the gate fast but dwindled down over the years. This is a marathon not a sprint. Give it time.

stuna13558d ago

Indie are games, plain and simple! Goalpost continue to move. Indie's stand for Independent studios, and at some point most studios started as Indies. The funny thing is once Microsoft started courting Independent developers at E3 14 a large number of Xbox1 supporters started soiling themselves. Even now a big Indie slated to release "No Man's Sky", some of the very one's commenting now want on the Xbox1.

windblowsagain3558d ago

Nobody has these games, how can anyone claim best exclusive. Only players can make that judgement once played.

Sunset Overdrive looks like it could be fun for a very short time, abit longer if your young.

Halo - meh Destiny.

Forza horizon is going up against alot of racing games.

Nine_Thousaaandd3558d ago

@truefan1

You say Xbox One has the best exclusives, yet Xbox One is last in sales. Gamers have spoke with their wallets, and the gaming community has shown more interest in gaming on PS4 because Xbox One exclusives are less appealing and is falling behind each month with game releases.

Sony has already proven with the PS2 and PS3, they have the best exclusives and diversity in video games...and the same will happen with the PS4.

Sony's first-party studios have no equal in the world of video games. This year looks strong for Xbox One, but again...if the Xbox One's exclusives are so great...why is PS4 still dominating in sales each month? I'll answer that for ya...it's because the gaming community is more interested in PS4 exclusives, along with having the best multi-platform games as well.

Uncharted 4 and Bloodborne alone trumps most of the games you listed!

quenomamen3558d ago

I'm sure all those exclusives will look great in 790p.

LordMaim3558d ago

I do not admit that. I would go so far as to say that not only do I not agree, but your first paragraph contains nothing but fiction.

You ask for a list of games, then you move the goal posts and decide what games do and don't apply to your changing criteria; rational discourse rapidly collapsing under judgement and recriminations. This should not be a jihad. Gaming is not a religion, forcing you to look down upon those whose console is not the same as yours.

Why do some people react to articles this way?

mrpsychoticstalker3558d ago

With you @truefan the Xbox One has the better exclusives. They have to since the ps4 had the better hardware. This is why Playstation owners see this as a threat. Microsoft with the weak hardware has been able to put up a fight against Sony and Nintendo. It's only a matter of time until it surpasses the PS4 on sales here in America.
It's true the PS4 is coming with giant exclusives 2015 and holiday 2015. But Microsoft still have the secret sauce, not to mention the best the best viral marketing campaigns in the market.

imt5583558d ago

Ori and Project Spark ARE NOT Xbone exclusives. Coming also for PC

purp13m0nk3y3558d ago

SONY has always had the best exclusives. I don't know why this is even an argument.

Not only does SONY have the most talented first party developers. It has far more first party studios. And they also continue support for their systems for much longer than MS.

Just look at the state of first party exclusives for the Xb360 currently and over the last 12-18months. MS gave up supporting development for the Xb360 ages ago. Where as SONY continues to support and develop both first party software and development tools for the PS3.

Regis3557d ago

Here at the end of 2014 I will go to my local GS and look at the Xb1 wall and PS4 wall and see who has more games then it won't surprise me to find that I will be spending more money on the PS wall then the Xbox side considering I'm not that interested in Sunset Overdrive. Plus most of the game beside Halo MCC do not have a release date yet.

They both have false advertising

TheGreenMan3558d ago (Edited 3558d ago )

Really brotherlymoses? Is that why they had the most exclusive GOTYs last gen? Or how about how the libraries of the PS1 & PS2? Show me one Xbox console that can top what Sony has brought to the table over the last 3 generations and I'll never say another word.

BTW, I'm pretty sure "greatess" isn't a word...

CaptainObvious8783558d ago

I wonder when this 'PS4 has no games' thing is going to die?

Factually, the PS4 has more games, more higher rated games and the library is more diverse. This is proven time and time again, yet a certain group just doesn't seem to care about reality.

My theory is they're extremely agitated of the PS4 sales and the fact it's going to get superior multiplats for the entire gen, so they have to latch onto something and try to make it stick, facts be damned. Who knows?

All I know both consoles have some great exclusive coming out in the future and to say anyone of them has no games is utterly insane.

Baka-akaB3558d ago (Edited 3558d ago )

Why the surprise ? Having games on ps3 didnt stop those fools from chanting "Ps3 Haz no gamez" as a mantra till they went blue and got caught up .

Denial and "i dont care about that game anyway" will always be a troll's best friend

cell9893558d ago

Baka-akaB you sum it up well, its always "that game does not apply to me" "PS doesnt have Halo, so it has no games" -__- "Im a true gamer I only play Gears and Halo" smh "PS only has Uncharted" I heard that through out the PS3s life last gen

Eonjay3558d ago

showtimefolks3558d ago

this is why xbox brand/ms and its fanboys suck badly, how the heck do you put picture on twitter and call games exclusives which are clearly multi platform

every time it seems like ms/xbox one is improving with its image and reputation they end up doing something stupid. And for all this sony/ps4 gets free press

i mean talk about your console and games but don't try to trick consumers into thinking something is an exclusives when it's not

I'm guessing that the person who actually wrote and posted this is one of the 18,000 to be fired by the mighty MS.

Just another piece of evidence that lets us know how OUT OF TOUCH WITH REALITY some of these people at Xbox are.

And no, just because you have money doesn't make you bad, but YOU KNOW what I'm talking about.

geddesmond3557d ago

Lol I liked the part where "they don't say we have best exclusives but everyone else does". Apparently I and dozens more here ain't included in that everyne else. MS can use multiplats because aside from 4 or 5 exclusives, thats all they have.

So your telling me there are no tired franchises on PS4. Did we not just get Tomb Raider(XB1*), The Last of Us, Injustice last gen? Oh and aren't MLB the Show, Uncharted, LBP, etc also tired franchises?

Hammerwatch II Will Stop Dilly-Dallying and Head to Xbox and PS4 on April 23

"Hammerwatch II's journey to Xbox has been long and perilous. After first launching on Steam in the fall of 2023, the game finally turned up on PlayStation 5 last December. Since then, Xbox gamers who enjoyed the original Hammerwatch and the sublime Heroes of Hammerwatch have been anxiously awaiting their turn at the long-promised sequel. At last, the wait is nearly over because Hammerwatch II will hit Xbox and PlayStation 4 on April 23," says Co-Optimus.

Sea of Thieves Welcomes 40 Million Players

40 million have set sail...that's great. How many are sailing now? Monthly active users....when it actually matters. How many people purchased the game is another important number.

Gamingsince19813h ago

You don't get numbers like that from MS mouth pieces, they just like to say stuff like "this game was looked at 129 million time, the biggest amount of people browsing a game of this genre on xbox gamepass ever in the last 3 weeks compared to before gamepass was out (small print only 2 million bothered playing longer than 20 seconds and only 100 people are playing it concurrently)

It's all smoke and mirrors

nibblo3h ago

There are usually around 10,000 concurrent users on Steam not counting Xbox or PS but really it doesn't matter as long as there are enough people on the servers to play which there always were and will be for a long time now with the PS players coming on board. Same goes for how many people bought it and how many are on GP, we aren't the accountants of these console companies so why would we care?

Hofstaderman2h ago

Reporting on MAU stats is very misleading. Other companies publish units sold, MS cannot or will not due to Game Pass. We all know that their prior startegies have not panned out so now they have to actually sell games on other consoles. In any case, SoT is doing impressive preorders on PS5 and will very likely motivate Satya to release more games other than the four indicated games on their competitor's consoles. Take note Phil is radio silent....

Abear212h ago

40 Mil across Stream, Windows 10, and Xbox. Healthy numbers for sure, but when PC is the biggest platform, I expected more. It’ll be interesting to see how it does on PlayStation. Very well could be double that player count in 6 months with PS too. It’s crazy for developers to skip the most popular platform, not sure why they’d want to, but they must have had their rea$ons.
