PlayStation 4 vs. Xbox One: Which Console Has The Best Exclusive Games?

We are two years into this current console generation and the debate over whether Xbox One or PlayStation 4 is the superior platform continues to rage on. Debates over hardware and online services continue, but the real deciding factor for any serious gamer should come down to one thing: the games.

Games are what it's all about, after all. Exclusive games are the experiences that define a console. One exclusive killer app can become a system seller, with people willing to spend $400 just to have the chance to play.

When you look at it that way, does the Xbox One or the PlayStation 4 come out on top? Which console has the exclusive experiences gamers want to play? And it's not just about first-party titles, either. In today's gaming landscape, timed exclusives and downloadable content exclusivity also play a large role in deciding which console a potential buyer will pick up. Let's break it down.

[Aloy-Boyfriend]

The One Horizon: Zero dawn is being made 4

[SpaceRanger]

The one who is known for delivering diversity in games and not overused franchises. That's my personal preference.

And I get that one of them blows their load during the holidays...good for them. But c'mon. There's 12 months in a year, not 3. I like games all year of every caliber. That's also a personal preference that 20+ million people agree with me on.

[Chug]

I have a hunch we're talking about the PS4 here.

[SpaceRanger]

@Chug

Good hunch my friend!

[xHeavYx]

Xbox,no, Playstation, no, Xbox, no, Playstation.

*someone yelling from far away*
PC MUSTARD RICE!

*someone else, just waking up*
Nintendzzzzz.

As usual, this comes down to personal preference.
Personally, I believe that Sony has always had more variety and quality when it comes down to exclusives.

[DJustinUNCHAIND]

So Sony has their exclusives release in the spring.

Xbox has theirs release in the fall.

You seem to neglect FH2, MCC, SSOD, Ori which have kept players busy for a while.

Sony had nothing last fall. Sony's big releases didn't hit until Spring.

[Sureshot]

@ xheavyx
Not really sure why you're getting down voted. Most sensible comment yet.

Except for the last part, but that personal preference ;)

[Gazondaily]

Xbox for me so far. The rest of 2015 is a no brainer either.

2016 is actually very interesting though. UC4 and Horizon look incredible. SF5 needs to be in my bowdeh and No Mans Sky (which might release this year) are killer titles.

The X1 however has some beast games too.

I don't think anyone can deny that both consoles don't have an enticing library of games. Both consoles are doing very well delivering some amazingly promising titles. It seems like a very healthy generation of gaming to me.

[nX]

This is mostly personal preference but I prefer the PS4 schedule currently.
Persona 5, No Man's Sky and Uncharted 4 are must-have's for me and Tomorrow Children, Disgaea 5, DragonQuest Heroes & Galak-Z look tempting as well. In between these exclusives I'll be very busy with Rocket League -> MGS5 -> Fallout 4 -> Battlefront 3 :D

Then there's hope for The Last Guardian, GT7 & Horizon in 2016 so the great games just keep on coming :)

[DarXyde]

@DJustinUNCHAIND

That all depends. Ori and Sunset Overdrive were indeed very solid games, but Ori isn't really long at all and Sunset Overdrive, while great, didn't take too long to get through, really.

Forza Horizon 2, totally agree. There's a lot to do there as well as MCC, but MCC has had a lot of problems where players were often left waiting to play online.

What you're ignoring from PlayStation this year however is...

Tearaway Unfolded
Disgaea 5
Dragon Quest Heroes
Tales of Zestiria
Persona 5

Every other multiplatform game that is incredibly likely to attract more gamers including...

Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain
Mad Max
Star Wars Battlefront
Fallout 4.

From an exclusives perspective, sure, none of the games I mentioned are as popular as Forza or Halo (or even Tomb Raider), but do you know how much time you can sink into Persona games alone? I'll likely be on my first playthrough while you've already beaten Halo, Forza, and Tomb Raider. I've listed JRPGs, but that's because a lot of us PlayStation gamers really enjoy those games...which is why PlayStation prioritizes them. It's clear Xbox gamers enjoy Forza and Halo; Forza I'm all for, but I couldn't care less about Halo.

It comes down to personal taste, but frankly, I'm sure Metal Gear Solid V will be time-consuming on its own. Throw Persona 5 into the mix and I'll be very busy in the foreseeable future.

In short...nobody's starving. An RPG gamer will say "there's nothing to play on Xbox this fall" and a big AAA-budget gamer will say "there's nothing to play on PlayStation this fall"...that's exclusive, anyway. Again, nobody's starving. If you only own one console, there's still plenty to play.

[freshslicepizza]

one thing is very clear, the success of the ps4 has pushed microsoft to make more efforts into the xbox one . that is a good thing no matter how hard sony fans try to make it appear the xbox one isn't a viable competitor. which ironically enough the more they talk about the system the more they show that it indeed is.

[Tornado]

@DarXyde

Totally agreed. Can confirm, persona games are really long. I've already spent 100 hours on my p4g first playthrough and I just rescued Naoto. Yeah I'm that slow but I enjoy every second of the game.

[WowSoChill]

Well i prefer Xbox Exclusives, they have better Multiplayer compared to Sony's (Halo, Gears) Sony's Games are to emotional, i don't like that shit

[lvl_headed_gmr]

So MS won in the better exclusives

Sony won on Indies, Japan and Timed exclusives...

Am I the only one who is scratching their head as to why the categories that Sony won in are categories nobody cares about?

Ao what if PS4 has the Japanese market. The PS4 isn't selling very good there either and I just don't understand the purpose of this category. Why should a potential console purchaser care about the Japanese market to make a decision what console they want.

Indies...seriously? Drop $400 on a console that has an over focus on indies? Stick to mobile if indies are your thing. There's more indies on mobiles and their're much cheaper.

Timed exclusive deals. Wasn't this a bad thing? When Tomb Raider was announced to be timed exclusive to XB1, the internet exploded. Death threats were handed out to the actress who voiced Lara in the game, SE and CD were harrassed and thretened...the media lashed out saying these types of deals were bad...yet its a good thing when Sony has timed exclusives? Really???

The #1 reason we choose 1 console over another are the exclusive titles and features each console provides which XB1 trumps in spades. Nobody buys a $400 console because it has a greater market share in Japan, or has timed exclusives/DLC or that it has a few more indie titles.

I think there are better categories aside from exclusives available to make a better comparision such as features, network, price etc...

[SpaceRanger]

@lvl_headed_gmr

Believe me, we're all scratching out head in this article considering that MS won a section with games that have yet to come out. For all we know, the story lines could be trash. Or they could have problems that plague them for months online like MCC last year.

Like you said, people buy consoles for exclusives and features (Gaming features). Until MS actually releases exclusive games, which they haven't yet according to you since indies don't matter (I 100% think they do) they'll continue being in the back seat. And features wise, until MS implements things like game streaming outside a local wi-fi connection, anything close to SharePlay, early Netflix like game streaming on consoles-TVs-tablets-handhelds , and so on..they'll continue to stay in second.

But in regards to indies. They're the life of this industry. Indie support goes a long way. They're what eventually make AAA games late in the gen or for the next gen if they're successful in their game. Games like Journey are a prime example of how a short and beautiful game can immerse you more than any mindless alien shooter or yearly racing game. Transistor, No Mans Sky, Journey and MANY more big name hitters set the pace for innovation for future majorly funded AAA games.

[ZhukNasimPog]

The console with games that have confirmed release dates.

[Rookie_Monster]

Xbox one have the better console exclusives. Just my opinion of course. Short ans sweet.

[Professor_K]

Yup, that would be xbox

[grumpygamr]

Come on, you got to admit that Microsoft is making it easier for its users by releasing all their games in the same 3 month period. It is just easier to go to the store only once.

[Relientk77]

And

The Last Guardian
Uncharted 4
Ratchet & Clank
Persona 5
Tales of Zestria
Hellblade
Dragon Quest Heroes
Deep Down
Until Dawn
Street Fighter V

Etc.

[PC_60]

Why do u lot take time to defend or write a whole list of games which is not even facts about being better but opinions

[q8kik]

@PC_60

It's no secret that the ps4 currently has the bigger library, and better scoring/selling games.

There's your fact.

[Lev1903]

@q8kik Xbox one exclusives scored better then the ps4 games except for bloodborne.

The sales speak for theirselves.

But bigger library of the ps4 comes truh indies and not AAA titles. Which xbox ones has more.

Its all opinion. But ps4 has this year not one single triple A title coming except the remasters.

[ZhukNasimPog]

Games either release dates don't count

[alb1899]

the last Guardian in a list of new exclusives of ps4 in 2016........jajajajajaja, you have to be alive to see some things!!!
wasn't Last Guardian one of the best exclusive of PS3 too?
jiak,jiak,jiak!!

[343_Guilty_Spark]

Funny how you Sony guys say Microsoft relies too much on established franchises when you have:

The Last Guardian An uprezzed PS3 puzzle platformer
Uncharted 4 the 4th entry in 7 years (Halo by contrast is on the 5th main entry in 14 years).
A remake of Rachet and Clank
The fifth Persona - jRPG
Delayed Down - 3rd person dungeon game
Hellblade - another hack n slash
Until Dawn - another interactive movie
And SFV - the 50th entry in Street fighter.

So honestly that doesn't seem all that diverse to me. JRPGS that barely sell, hack n slash, 3rd person dungeon type games, interactive movies....PS4 bread and butter.

People aren't buying PS4s in droves for these type of niche games...they are buying them for multiplat games like COD, Witcher 3, Madden, etc etc.

[ARESWARLORD]

Its about the games. The console is nothing more then hardware in a box. I want the New God Of War, Halo, Gears, Zelda, Tomb Raider, and would love a new F Zero and Twisted Metal. I would also love to be able to play them all on a "Master System" (sorry sega lol) so I would only have to buy one piece of hardware. Hardware is hardware, and Games are what is important.

[P_Bomb]

@343
You seriously saying uncharted has more games in less years than halo?! I hope for your sake you're being sarcastic.

Video game names have been all over the place since forever and a day, going back and forth between subtitles/prequels/sequels/epi sodic and yes, numbering. They're all valid, just like movies and books.

Zelda link to the past, Zelda ocarina of time, AC Brotherhood, infamous second son, gears judgment, gow ascension, castlevania SOTN, super Mario world, Mario Galaxy, GTA San Andreas, GTA vice city, R&C future, metroid prime, Hitman blood money, COD black ops, splinter cell chaos theory, RE code Veronica, batman arkham city, bioshock infinite ARE ALL CANON and some of the best in their series!! Guess what, no numbers.

You saying xbox's Rise of the Tomb Raider isn't a main sequel to the last tomb raider game because it doesn't have a #2 in the marketing? All to defend halo 3 odst, halo wars, halo reach, halo mcc, halo anniversary, and the various Spartan assaults from the same scrutiny and industry standards as everyone else? Come on man.

The other games you diss are called new IPs, btw. The same thing halo was fifteen years ago.

[grumpygamr]

The XBOX fanboys hate all those games. They only like HALO and Gears. Reminds me of NINTENDO fan boys. Good luck with that Microsoft. Weird how Microsoft and its console is stuck with a bunch of gullible hardware illiterate dreamers. If only the thing could do 1080p without smoking. Only Americans are impressed with underpowered hardware and pipe dreams like CLOUD, DirectX12, KINECT, HIDDEN SECRET CHIPS. Ridiculous.

I like XBOX ONE but there vocal fanbase is a bunch of morons.

[Aloy-Boyfriend]

But bad jokes aside, both consoles have good exclusives and many more coming. We all have favorites, and that's okay. Happy gaming

[OB1Biker]

I agree both have good exclusives appealing to different gamers with different expectations, preference.
Please dont approve this typical fanboy war opinion piece which is totally pointless.

[wellard]

Thats a completely subjective question designed for clicks and revenue. For me personally its the PS4 however for my closest friend its his Xbox One. What a silly silly question

[SonofGod]

How about we wait until the games come out to see how good they actually are?

You have only seen a short glimpse of gameplay of Horizon and you people are already calling it GOTY.

[showtimefolks]

That's not the way to judge any console, look exclusives are very different to each gamer. Someone may love niche Japanese rpg's while another may like a shooter like halo. Than we have stuff where gamers love single players games and others love the feeling of playing against each other online

For me personally neither Microsoft or Sony has delivered to this point. The best single player game so far has been Witcher 3 IMO.

I believe this is the new age of gaming where exclusives won't matter as much as having great 3rd party games. And to win in sales you would need those 3rd party games associated with your console marketing wise and exclusive content wise

Personally I love sony's exclusives, Sony focuses more on single player games and that's the kind of games I like playing

But under Phil spencer Microsoft is also focusing on single player games so I believe whichever console you own will give you great bang for your buck

No system launch in history of gaming has seen this much software support this early for ps4 and Xbox one

Dead rising 3
sunset over drive
drive club
knack
infamous second son
forza 5
forza horizon
ryse
blood borne
the order 1886

3rd party titles

Gta 5
watch dogs
AC unity
Witcher 3
batman
battlefield 4 and hardline
call of duty

Seriously this generation so far has been amazing and it's only gonna get better

Still to come in 2015

Mgs 5
mad max
just cause 3
Hitman
Halo 5
forza 6
until dawn
uncharted trilogy
gears of war
tomb raider
fallout 4
assassin creed

2016

Dues ex
crackdown 3
scalebound
quantum break
horizon
uncharted 4
the last guardian

So bottom line is simple, if you have time and money buy both consoles. If you are like me where time is simply not available besides the one or 2 hours per day max than buy one console based off the exclusives. 3rd party titles will be there. And respect others for what they buy and play

Just because I like a game doesn't mean others have to like it too. And I hope as we move forward there are ZERO 3rd party exclusives for either sony or Microsoft. I truly believe 3rd party games should be on both ps4 and Xbox one along with pc at launch. 3rd party elusive cost so much so I rather that both Sony and Microsoft spend that money on internal studios

[Old_Prodigy]

Off Topic:

Why is the o in "one" capitalized?

[fermcr]

"PlayStation 4 vs. Xbox One: Which Console Has The Best Exclusive Games?"

Opinions!

PS4 fanboys will say the PS4.
X1 fanboys will say the X1.

... and that's that.

[FlexLuger]

pretty much. And everybody will swear theirs is the right opinion.

[Sureshot]

Well you wouldn't keep an opinion that you yourself thought was wrong :D

[MasterCornholio]

Not everyone. Only fanboys do that.

[kneon]

Of course my opinion is right, it's the only one that matters.

[Elit3Nick]

@FlexLuger Indeed, and you only need to look at all the comments above to prove your point ;)

[Eonjay]

Exclusive don't matter. I see great games everywhere. No matter which one you chose you will still get great games...
So, the exclusive games might be nice but they don't deserve more attention than the 3rd parties.

[Aenea]

And there are way too many games that interest me on 1 console, if I'd buy another console it would be worse for me, haha... Ahhh, luxury problems...

[avengers1978]

@aenea FIRST WORLD PROBLEMS, lol

[MasterCornholio]

You don't have to be a fanboy go have a preference.

Fanboys are the ones who believe that the only preference that's correct is the one that they gave.

I might enjoy PlayStations offering more but I don't disrespect people who prefer Microsofts or Nintendos lineup.

[ocelot07]

What about us people who have XB1/PS4/PC but prefer the PS4 lineup? Gaming fanboys?

But yer I genuinely prefer the PS4 lineup than the XB1. in 2016 only XB1 titles am really looking forward to is Sea Of Thieves and Crackdown.

For PS4 Uncharted 4, Street Fighter V, Ratchet & Clank, Last Guardian, Horizon Zero Dawn,

But that is just my opinion on the only one that matters.......to me.

I dont think it makes you a fanboy if you have a favorite..everybody has a favorite. I prefer what is on xbox, But I still enjoyed bloodborne and infamous. Im still looking forward to tearaway, UC4 and horizon. But there is little else that intersts me on PS4. And online multiplayer games are an xbox thing by default for me. Thats where my friends are and XBL is all round better technically as a service than PSN. Nothing sonty do will ever change that for me. Or my clan..or my friends who have been on XBL for 5+ years.

[stonecold3]

sony

[Black0ut]

Opinions, love 'em.

We keep seeing these flame bait articles and titles such as this one and they don't seem to stop. It's ok if one prefers one or the other consoles games, but there's no point trying to overrule peoples opinions by trying to decide which is "best". There will never be a "best". Different tastes!!

We're just going around in circles here ^_^

[nX]

Noone is overruling anyone's opinion, most just respond to the article's question. Comments like yours however don't add anything to the discussion.

[Black0ut]

@NX I was clearly and evidently talking about the article that we're commenting on, did you think before you replied to me? Take another read pal. I'll give you a push in the right direction - Start with the articles title "Which console has the best exclusive games"...Opinions cannot be labelled best.

Also just added more to this discussion than you have so I'm not sure where you plan to go with such a bitter remark. Hypocrisy is alive and strong, I appreciate the example that you just gave me and the rest of the people reading these comments.

[Rimeskeem]

This is literally asking for a fanboy war

[Xavior_Reigns]

Well popcorn has to sell somehow right? Personally I'm sick of this nonsense as well but too many peeps enjoy the "good fight."

Come this holiday, I'll have my XBO so whatever...

[Rimeskeem]

Yep, I have a PS4, PC, and Xbox One so i get the best of all worlds for the most part.

[GribbleGrunger]

We know which console has the most exclusives but who has the best is completely down to personal taste. Of course the console with the most exclusives is likely to appeal to a bigger audience and so sell more consoles.

[Hoffmann]

What does it even matter if the multiplatform games look better on one of them, alone that makes the decision easy.

Answering which one has the better question is also not really possible since
1. Everyone has a different taste
2. The games are very different from each other. You don't have a Halo alternative on the Playstation 4 while you also have no exclusive alternative to something like Disgaea 5, Guilty Gear Xrd or Bloodborne.

[Bolts]

Sony clearly. I have yet to see a must have Xbox title.

[slappy508]

The one that has the most JRPGS on it, starting this summer with Tales of Zesteria , and Dragon Quest!
And of course the already established Bloodbourne.
And thats my opinion only because my favourite genre is JRPGs and Japanese ARPGs/action titles

[forgetmenot]

Its a matter of preference thats it!

I like Jrpgs, fighters and action adventure titles guess im nothing getting and xbawks but that's MY PREFERENCE

[nitus10]

No need to shout. I also like most JRPG's and Action/Adventure games although I am not that keen on just Fighting games unless they have an RPG component such as Tales of Xilla which is one of the few games that almost gave me RSI. I actually had to put off playing this game for a few weeks.

The problem if you can call it a problem with RPG's in general is that they normally take such a long time to play so you can only play a few of these games per year. Most RPG's that I play and enjoy take many tens of hours and some well over a hundred hours (eg . Skyrim).

The above is one of the main reasons why I don't have a PS4 yet since I have a huge backlog of games I have not finished on my PS3. I even have a few PS2 games since they are graphically acceptable on my 55" HDTV that I would like to replay on my BC PS3 but I can't find the time.

I do think that the RPG offerings on the PS4 are becoming very attractive (well over 200 hours of gameplay) so I am trying to get through my PS3 games.

[LexHazard79]

I love gaming and I like both systems! No disagrees are gonna change that. That being said, I did tend to play my Xbox One more When i had one. I do have alot of my friends and fam on Xbox Live so that might be why.

[Izalith]

If it called console only exlcusive then PS4 takes it easy.

Xbox One as of today only have 2 titles that are only on Xbox One that can't be found on PC or Xbox 360, that is Sunset Overdrive and Forza Motorsport 5 (do not count remakes or remasters into this)

PS4 has BloodBorne, Knack, Killzone ShadowFall, Infamous Second Son, The Order 1886 and DriveClub (do not count remasters or remakes into this), titles that can't be found on PS3 or PC.

Those are in my eyes called exclusives. So there you have it, PS4 has 4 more of those exclusives than Xbox One. Almost all titles on Xbox One can be found on PC or Xbox 360. This is not a lie :)

[Mulando]

Yeah, you can see it this way.
You could also say (according to this) that sony let their PS3 owners alone, while MS still supports their xbox 360 and the PC owners. Well you can see it this way if you want to.
But it is also true if MS creats an xbox exclusive (or they buy an IP/studio so the IP/studio can survive) shitsstorms are coming all over the internet. While other companies (sony, apple) can almost do whatever they want. That does not only count for the current products, this was also present (not in the internet of course) since the early windows 9x versions. In the public ut seems this company can only do things wrong ... must be the name.

And before you ask, yes I have a xbox one, and yes I will buy a ps4, as soon as I have the time to play some more titels. Currently I have enough to play for a long time. And I also wait for a whisper quite PS4 ;)

[YingYng]

2 years in and these articles still pop up? People are gonna pick their system for their preference. Move on

[Eiyuuou]

I'm a JRPG fan... Do I need to spell it out?

It all comes down to personal preference anyway.

[mark_parch]

xbox one for me so far. titanfall and fh2 were epic and then halo 5 forza 6 and tomb raider later this year but next year both ps4 and xbox one got some very exciting games but again xbox just edges it for me. Can't wait to see scalebound and crackdown gameplay

[arbitor365]

Its funny how alot of xbox fanboys try to discount the countless great PS4/PC ports when pretty much all the xbox one exclusives apart from halo and forza are on PC.

[etownone]

Very simple.

You own a ps4, you will say ps4
you own an Xb1, you will say Xb1

You own both .... you will say Xb1

You own Nintendo.... God help you.

[Izalith]

Lol at this: You own both... you will say X1. So your opinion is the universal and applies to all after that statement?

No I say PS4 because that console have more titles that only can be found on a PS4.

[CantBeStopped]

You own both and say Xb1 you're probably lying about owning both.

[etownone]

I own both.

Xb1 big chief reyes
Psn bigchiefreyes

[MysticStrummer]

"You own both .... you will say Xb1"

Awww you were doing so well, but you just had to derail.

"You own Nintendo.... God help you."

You didn't recover, either.

[etownone]

Really??

The WiiU is the biggest failure Nintendo has ever had... That's why they are already working in their next console which will probably release next year.

[MysticStrummer]

Yeah really.

"God help you" if you own a Nintendo…

Ridiculous.

[Cohagen420]

So the console with the least critically acclaimed exclusives wins, this is obviously a troll article at its finest.

[TRASHBOAT___]

Bruh I got a PS4 because I loved the PS exclusives since the PS1 but I wanna play Halo and Gears , those seems to be great games .
I like the playstation side of things because I love Uncharted, Last of Us, loved Crash , i liked the Order , didn't like Killzone, wasn't a fan of infamous 1 or 2 but liked 3 .
Theres good games on both sides but I still prefer my PC over my PS4.

[nitus10]

Sounds like you like action/adventure and RPG's so the PS4 would be more attractive. Personally I wasn't a fan of Killzone or Infamous either.

Halo contrary to the hype is really an FPS and Gears is a tactical shooter. That said if you like those types of games then the XBox is for you although you can get FPS's and T/S games for the PlayStation as well.

If you are unsure and you have the money get both consoles although since you have a PC (I assume a gaming one) you you can pretty much get most of the games that would appear on the XB1 eventually.

[Chaosdreams]

Do people honestly argue over this still? I get exhausted just by the titles of these articles.

[NeoGamer232]

Actually, I found this to be well written. And I felt its conclusions were accurate.

Sony does have Japan between XB and Sony. But the reality is that Japan is between Sony and Nintendo and Nintendo is winning.

As for first party games, MS has the edge on what is coming near future and longer term as well.

As for Indies, MS was late out of the gate so Sony is winning. But, longer term that may change with universal apps across Win10 and XB because most indies start with PC.

MS seems to have shifted its resources to first party games while Sony seems to be shifting its first party resources to third party exclusivity.

All perfectly logical.

[P_Bomb]

You say MS has the future locked up as far as first party exclusives. Did the last few years of last gen teach us nothing?

The PS3 had a veritable onslaught of exclusives in the same year it launched the PS4. Xbox had nothing. You're betting the wrong way. 360 started strong too before slowly losing exclusives like bioshock and mass effect. Same is already happening with Titanfall 2. Exclusives are exclusives, first party or not.

Yes, we're about to have 3 Forza games already this gen, so MS has pushed some IP harder, but that isn't necessarily a good thing if you don't care about Forza.

[NeoGamer232]

I did not say MS has anything locked up. I said they currently have an edge for the near future and longer term on first party games. List out the first party games for MS and Sony and it is no contest on first party. And I am talking about games that have had trailers or gameplay, not vaporware that is rumored or probably in development.

Just because MS slowed down as last gen progressed does not mean that will happen this gen. Especially, since they have had a change in leadership and it has been obvious their focus and tactics have changed significantly. MS has already announced more for their fourth year of XB1 than they did for 360 so clearly there is a different approach this gen.

As for exclusives, that is a term that Sony fanboys like to use. Why? Because they know Sony only ships Sony games on Sony PS platforms. Whereas MS Game Studios supports both Windows and XBox platforms. Sony will always win an "exclusives" discussion. That is a dumb comparison because it does not take into account which games a owner of a specific platform cannot play. It only takes into account what nobody else can play unless they have that platform.

I do not consider an arcade racer and racing simulation the same game, anyone, who knows anything about racers would not put Forza Motorsports and Forza Horizon in the same genre... Saying they've had three forzas in three years is coupling all the games together. Horizon is completely different from Motosports just like DriveClub is completely different then GT. MS chose to brand them under the same name, but they are as similar as DriveClub is to GT.

[N8]

I have both and love both. I do like one more than the other but I'm not telling.

[TRASHBOAT___]

it's the Wii U right ?

[newmoney86]

This is getting old........

[assdan]

He mentioned like 2 exclusives the ps4 has, and the like ALL of the exclusives xbox one has. Good comparison on that one buddy.

[Father__Merrin]

No doubt ps4 is the best console to own

[CantBeStopped]

The problem with articles like this is that it is purely subjective, you can tell me all day why your exclusives are the best but if I dont have any interest in them it doesn't matter. I prefer what Playstation brings to the table but that's me, well me and about twenty three million other people.

[Provolone24]

Still baffles me that anyone thinks Microsoft has better exclusives when they haven't released a AAA title since November of last year and won't again until October of this year.

Name one exclusive AAA game since the Master Chief Collection. Go ahead. I'll wait.

[gangsta_red]

Just shows you how good their exclusives are that they can release ones from last year and they still top any of Sony's current offerings.

[Provolone24]

Haha yeah dude I'd totally rather play another Halo, Fable, and Forza rather than interesting new IPs like The Order, Bloodborne, and Until Dawn.

[Rookie_Monster]

@Provolone24,

"interesting new IPs like The Order, Bloodborne, and Until Dawn"

Halo, Fable, Forza and every MS exclusives so far are giving me value to my paid online service while two of the 3 PS games you had mentioned, to me, are one and done at best with no MP, co op. or anything to justify continue playing after the brief campaign is completed. So yes, I'll take the former please.

Besides, you lost me there with interesting and The Orders in the same sentence. That game was a dud for most part.

You missed interesting titles like Deadrisng 3, Titanfall, Ryse and Sunset Overdrive. And don't forget Rare Replay coming in August.

[Provolone24]

We're talking about 2015. As usual, you dance around the topic at hand and you didn't answer my question, either. Because you can't. Because there is no answer. Now what other useless information will your next reply contain?

"We're talking about 2015"

And I was talking about games from last year that still top Sony's exclusives this year, still baffled? Except for Bloodborne, which is the best Sony exclusive you have to date.

So I find it hilarious how you stand on top of one good exclusive game, arms raised and yelling what MS has when Sony hasn't given you enough to be triumphant about. And the only reason those two games came out this year is because they delayed them from last year. Some how that turned into Sony deliberately providing exclusives all year round.

Now I expect more name calling and excuses but I'm done with you...you may continue being baffled.

"Name one exclusive AAA game since the Master Chief Collection. Go ahead. I'll wait."

There have been none. But hold up, Xbox had Sunset Od and Horizon 2. It has two decent racing games, and the PS4 has none.

PS4 has Bloodborne which is great. After that, jack s***.

Now with Halo 5, Forza 6 and TR, thats 3 beast games.

The year isn't over mate and it baffles me how people prop up the likes of The Order with a straight face. Xbox has PS4 beat this year and rather easily imo.

Bloodborne. End /thread

[Xavy]

PS4 ofcourse.

[poor_cus_of_games]

Ps4 easily. I haven't bought a game for my xbone since state of decay. Also nothing interests me this year.
Halo. Maybe a rental. Same as tomb raider. That's about it.

[Xbonewone32015]

And what decent ps4 exclusive has there been except bloodborne?

[poor_cus_of_games]

Driveclub, the order, final fantasy a realm reborn, the last of us, dc online, injustice, etc etc. Sure what decent exclusive has ms got?

[Xbonewone32015]

Driveclub and the order arent decent. The last of us isn't a ps4 exclusive.

Etc, etc aren't answers.

Basically it has nothing other than bloodborne.

[poor_cus_of_games]

You didn't answer my question.

[Xbonewone32015]

Up until now it's been even. Sony has had some stinkers though like the order.

For then end of 2015 / early 2016 it is no contest.

MS exclusives are home runs after home runs.

I expect Sony will bounce back mid 2016 onwards perhaps.

[thecowsaysmoo]

Timed exclusives don't really count and those Japanese games are meh for the most part. Also, Xbox one will have better indies because of backwards compatibility (which is a category they left out).

[Max-Zorin]

As if the console community (which hate each other with a burning passion) will ever come to that kind of conclusion.................... ........

[CrowbaitBob]

I knew it!

Finally we're gonna get to the bottom of this.

[Killa_5150]

the real question is PlayStation 4 vs. Xbox One: Why don't you buy them both if you're truly a gamer? you can't afford them both that's the most reason why you don't have them both if you're truly a gamer but hey if you are a gamer and can only afford one of them then look at the exclusives, which one do you enjoy the most? there you go, you'll get your answer there.

[IAmTheBest35]

why even have this discussion when the Wii U crushes them both in this category? It's not even a competition. It is like asking "who's lineup is more stacked between the red sox and yankees" when neither of them made the playoffs. does it really even matter at that point? lol
