You can have all the power you can get, but at the end of the day what sells consoles is EXCLUSIVES, this gen and next gen sony will be the only home console to have true EXCLUSIVES, pc and xbox players will really be port begging next gen. Switch is not a dedicated home console, their handheld 360p kiddie ports dont appeal to me.

neutralgamer19921568d ago

It's not complicated Sony and Nintendo do well because they give gamers a reason to buy their hardware. Exclusives help sell consoles which in return help sell mora games

Elda1568d ago

True. The very reason why I own a PS4 Pro is because of their exclusives on the other hand personally for me most of Nintendo exclusive offerings are just not that interesting though I do think the Switch is a cute piece of technology.

@neutral
And not just at the beginning when they launch their consoles.

CaptainHenry9161568d ago

I wouldn't put PC in the same category as a console

Tross1568d ago

Perhaps not, but its long list of exclusives is a big reason why I have one. Well, that and there are games that are either cheaper and/or play better on PC. I guess I'm a different platforms for different things kind of guy. Exclusives do move systems though.

CaptainHenry9161568d ago

I agree with you. I'm actually a PC gamer first as well but I do have a PS4 just to play Sony exclusives.

Some exclusives on Switch are miles better than some PS exclusives

Outlawzz1568d ago

It just depends on wt your game preferences are. Its a losing argument to try to say that on a mainly Sony fan site tho.

TK-661568d ago

@Silly gameAr

Depends...

I'd say Nintendo has the upper hand when it comes creating online games, despite being incapable of making a modernized service, like Splatoon 2, ARMS, and MM2. I think they also offer a much larger library of gameplay focussed games which, if your thing, can be considered an advantage.

With Sony I'd say they excel in 3rd person action-adventure/role-playing games. God of War, Marvels Spider-man, and HZ:D being good examples of solid games on the platform. They tend to do a good job of intertwining a narrative with their games, so that can be considered an advantage.

It's really not difficult to find reasons why you could like one systems games over another.

TK-661568d ago

But you'll eat those home console 480p ports right up.

Without a doubt, Sony's PS4 has excellent high profile games to close their cycle. I'm sure TLoU2, FF 7 Remake, Ghost of Tsushima will provide the expected quality. In my opinion I think Nintendo has proven themselves to turn this generation in their favor bringing a portable versatile device. They are doing great and their exclusive performance is extraordinary. I don't factor out Nintendo in the industry and their importance in the video game industry.

I'm sure the next generation will be very interesting for Nintendo and of course Sony. I hope these games delivers more than we expect.

neutralgamer19921568d ago (Edited 1568d ago )

I think a future releases of FF7 remake will be 1 year timed exclusive so sony has something big lean on moving forward

Dovergamer1568d ago

Sony has their proprietary developers for their exclusives. Insomniac, Santa Monica, Guerrilla Games, Sucker Punch, Fromsoft among many others that provides exclusive titles.

GOULDYBOBS1568d ago

FF7 is a timed exclusive and this sort of practice should not be lauded. Certainly not "for the players"

AspiringProGenji1568d ago

Where’s the source where Sony did in fact pay for it?

neutralgamer19921568d ago

It doesn't matter bigger point is Sony is the reason we are getting this remake to begin with. Publishers sign these deals to get huge sum of money upfront to cover cost of development. Exclusives sell and FF7 remake is such a huge game that most who will want to play won't wait a year so Sony has done smart business wise. Exclusives sell consoles and if you can give consumers reason to buy your console in its last years that's potential new customers as Ps5 launches

Atticus_finch1568d ago

@Shag that deal almost killed Tomb raider that's why they got roasted.

AspiringProGenji1568d ago (Edited 1568d ago )

MS also paid to keeP Titanfall Exclusive and the fanboys were okay with it and trolling the PS4. EA made the announcement and even said without this deal the game wouldn’t exist

MS also announced the deal with RoTR themselves

When has Sony or Squenix ever said Sony payed for FF VII exclusivity?

Are you sure without Sony that remake would be happening?

Rude-ro1568d ago (Edited 1568d ago )

“Competition is great for the consumer”..
You think Microsoft still does not do said things?
They have done it since the launch of the Xbox 360 .. and it worked back then..
With titles like gears of war 1-3, mass effect, gta additional content, titanfall, tomb raider, dead rising, left 4 dead, and all the timed exclusive content not to mention the many smaller independent games Microsoft got 1 year exclusives on this gen.

This is the “competition” many defend.
If Sony did not get on board, Microsoft would have strong armed all of gaming by doing what they do best.. monopolizing.

Imalwaysright1568d ago (Edited 1568d ago )

"This is the “competition” many defend." Who? Sony fanboys? Sony has been doing this since the PS1 days, years before MS entered the console market and here's proof of it http://www.core-design.com/...

"If Sony did not get on board, Microsoft would have strong armed all of gaming by doing what they do best.. monopolizing." Absolutely hilarious not just because of what I said above but also because Sony was the only company to practically have the monopoly of the console market with the PS2 wich sold 3 times more than all the consoles of the same generation combined.

GOULDYBOBS1568d ago

Timed exclusives on ALL platforms is a disgrace

Elda1568d ago

I'll be buying 6 out of 7,I'm not into VR so Ironman is excluded.

monkey6021568d ago

Dreams really needs to be included in the list.
Otherwise it's a seriously good list of games to be excited about. 2020 is a great year for playstation exclusives

Original Final Fantasy 7 - Is it Worth Playing in 2024?

Final Fantasy 7 has come back under the spotlight thanks to the release of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, but is it worth replaying the original?

ravens5210d ago

Got to Zacks part in 7 Rebirth. Said f it. Finishing my game in 7 og. Just got to part 2 yesterday. I also got Crisis Core... So it'll be a while before I'm back to Rebirth. I just keep thinking about it too smh, want to get back to playing it. Not till I know Zacks story though. I beat 7 og sooooooo long ago, it's crazy going through it again and remembering things.

MrNinosan10d ago (Edited 10d ago )

Got to Zacks part in Rebirth?
You mean you started the game and turned it off?
The game starts with Zack...

ravens5210d ago

... Really 🤓 lol. His second part, I've played for 80hrs lmao. <---- PS5 Run time, probably not all game time. You guys know how it goes.

VIK212110d ago (Edited 10d ago )

Did you not ever play the OG FF7? After you recruit Vincent, later in the game, disc 3, return to that basement and look at the pod, there's a whole Zack story that'll trigger as a memory.... it's well hidden in the game and a lot of things regarding Zack are cleared up. FF7 Crisis Core is basically an extend feature of that hidden flashback... It took me years to discover it back then lol

https://www.youtube.com/wat...

MrNinosan10d ago

@ravens52
80 hours in Rebirth by doing everything, and you should've reached Zacks story about 5 times 🤣

ravens529d ago

Ye I kno that's y I said not all gameplay time. But also I am very anal when it comes to exploring.

ravens529d ago

Not to mention fighting Titan at his full strength. Hours spent trying still haven't succeeded. Found all 3 ruins but I'ma masochist when it comes to games.

Very much so. Graphically it's dated but the story and the gameplay haven't aged a day. It's still one of my all time favourite RPGs and for me is better than Remake in some ways.

Barlos10d ago (Edited 10d ago )

It always takes me back to Christmas 1997, I got it as a gift and I was blown away when I played it. I couldn't believe games could look that good. The combination of pre rendered backgrounds and FMV really made it stand out. It definitely still has a certain charm that modern games can't replicate.

I can't imagine people will still be talking about Remake and Rebirth in 27 years.

Tapani10d ago

Fully agreed. To me the atmosphere, pacing, gameplay and music are all better than in the remake.

Rebel_Scum10d ago

Yes, play this, skip remake, start rebirth for new players.

I_am_Batman10d ago

Skip Remake? That's terrible advice.

leahcim10d ago

Remake is so amazing, pure FFVII Love, play it on PS5 please! aww the graphics the battles, the music... a dream come true.

Rebel_Scum10d ago (Edited 10d ago )

I disagree Batman

Rise of the ronin sold twice as much as Dragons Dogma 2 this week...but no articles about that. It's only news if a PS exclusive is being outsold.
