Will Xbox's Exclusives Eat Playstation's Lunch In 2024?

IGN: "Welcome back to Next-Gen Console Watch. This week Daemon is joined by Podcast Unlocked's Ryan McCaffrey, and Podcast Beyond's Jada Griffin. The topic: Xbox finally has some first-party games coming this year, and it surprisingly looks more promising than the PS5's 2024 offerings."

[shinoff2183]

I know there probably talking about 1st party but in general

No lol, ff7 rebirth is the best thing coming out this year that we know of. Silent hill 2 remake is probably gonna be better then xboxs offerings. Also take into account all the jrpgs coming put that xbox probably won't get.

I'm also sure sonys got a surprise or two up it's sleeve, as well as xbox.

[BeHunted]

Are you really trying to compare third-party IPs with first-party ones? 😂😂😂

[ApocalypseShadow]

He's only highlighting what's going to be there in addition to what Sony will have in 2024. We've played this game again and again for a long time that Sony has no games. And again and again, Sony has risen to the challenge and embarrassed the other side. Dropped mics. Shut mouths when it comes to real numbers and not useless metrics that don't mean shit.

PlayStation fans have never had to worry about getting high quality games compared to Microsoft. Because from history, we know that PlayStation consoles don't just rely on 1st party games to stomp all over Microsoft's Xbox. Excluding PS1 where Microsoft wasn't there, when one thinks of PS2, PS3 and PS4, not only does Sony offer amazing 1st party games, they have exclusives that are wanted on a worldwide basis over Microsoft's offerings. It's why Microsoft gets destroyed in sales again and again. Which forced Microsoft to buy up some 3rd party publishers in an attempt to take away those 3rd party exclusives Sony gets as market leader. Because of console sales and software sales 3rd parties know they have a better chance on with PlayStation.

But even with Microsoft's attempt in trying to take away multiplatform franchises from Sony, Sony just ends up still getting more exclusives from many other developers that won't land on Xbox. We already know some of the huge list of games that will only be on PlayStation. No need to mention them.

It shouldn't be the case that a 100 billion dollar company slaps around a 2 TRILLION dollar company again and again. But that's been the case for generations. PS5 is just the latest smackdown Microsoft is receiving that pushed them to throw a Hail Mary. But the truth still remains. Is there anything Microsoft is offering that will stop Sony's hardware and software sales? Sony is breaking records even now and all they tossed out was Spider-Man 2. What do gamers think are going to happen, that has happened over and over, when Sony's other world class first party developers jump into the PS5 and announce their games? Microsoft's 1st party has been floundering, flailing, trying to come up with something to thwart Sony, but Sony keeps defeating them. And adding things like VR or Portal or haptics in the controller, etc, that Microsoft never matches.

He doesn't have to mention 1st party because we know 1st party are developing games as we speak and will be announced soon enough. They aren't sitting on their asses in Sony's offices doing nothing. Just look at PS2, PS3 and PS4 last years where Sony created a flood of games. One of them being game of the generation with the TLofU. Nothing else needs to be said. Nothing needs to be worried about and has to be said if you own a PlayStation.

[Terry_B]

He is comparing third party IP's to third party IP's.

On Steam, Microsoft is nothing but one of thousands of developers.

[Crows90]

I'm confused with your comment...explain to me how Xbox has ever shown that 1st party quality is greater than 3rd party?

Sony has done that consistently but Microsoft never has....so yeah he's comparing Xbox quality to 3rd party which is normally superior to Xbox 1st party quality.

[purple101]

concord. - that is all

[Crows90]

Why? We've seen nothing of concord...no need to be hyped for nothing.

[Zeref]

Lol cope 😂

[PrinceOfAnger]

So much salt here they can't accept that microsoft had more first party games than sony in 2023
Hi fi rush , Forza , Starfield , etc And 2024 will be even better!

[Profchaos]

Prince of anger let's be honest 2023 the best first party exclusive games were Nintendo's totk and Mario wonder two goty contenders

[-Foxtrot]

The thing is if Sony has a trick or two up it's sleeve then they need to show it now

The issue is Sony is becoming far to relaxed and they think they don't need to do anything since they are dominiating the market so well but Microsoft does have games coming up thanks to buying up so much. When you buying a publisher with MULTIPLE gaming studios under their wings then yeah they are going to have a lot coming out so Sony need to kind of realise that.

It's funny because Microsoft are in that position now where if they have another really shit year or two then personally I think they could be done with consoles and it's most likely why we currently have all this talk of third party, testing the waters and the like. Sony has this chance, if not a really, really small one of potential games they once thought were gone forever coming to their console and they are like "Meh, see what happens". If Microsoft gets a second wind then they will keep going and Sony looses that, so its crazy to me Sony isn't using everything at their disposal to knock it out of the park with an onslaught of their own games to get those potential games again.

Unless this is just the punishment of going after all that GaaS shit.

[Profchaos]

I feel like Sony is returning to their 2006 attitude of whatever we're the best and you'll work an extra job just to buy a PS3.

And the we don't don't need 3rd parties they had at the end of the PS2

That arrogance almost cost them the 7th generation.

[ChasterMies]

Hasn’t been true in the last 11 years so I don’t know why this year would be any different, In fact,

[Lightning77]

By counting the the number of first party games releasing this year between PS and Xbox?

Talk about denial damn.

[ocelot07]

So it's now quantity over quality now? So if Sony go and release 20 first party asset flips £1 games in 2024.

In your strange and weird mind. That now means they will have a better year than Microsoft.

Very odd very odd indeed.

[ChasterMies]

“By counting the number”

Indeed, Microsoft is all about reporting higher numbers except sales numbers.

[EvertonFC]

Exactly, it doesn't even cross my mind with Playstation. You just know you get great games throughout the year.
Finally nice to see Xbox in year 3 🤣😂

[Lightning77]

@Jones The good ol "look what happened back then" argument.

It's not an argument though, so what about back then? It's common knowledge they had nothing, nothing at all, so what's your point?

[Crows90]

Its common knowledge now? Wow...wish it was common knowledge back then.

You know what else is common knowledge. Sony delivers great games every generation and Microsoft doesn't.

Maybe that'll change but we won't know until games release.

[Barlos]

Just wait. This is the year of Xbox! We've heard this every year for a decade now. One day it might be true 😂

[Zeref]

They did it last year, and Xbox's lineup looks even stronger this year. While Sony has nothing once again.

[BehindTheRows]

They did what last year? Release stuff like Forza (flop), Redfall (flop) and Starfield (delivered nothing close to its hype)? I'll give them Hifi Rush, but what else did they deliver? What made people rush out and buy Xbox consoles? Nothing. Not even Starfield.

Sony? Spider-Man 2 (which destroyed every game they released last year critically and commercially) AND pushed a crap ton of consoles. That one game bitch-slapped everything your favorite company released. Never mind 3rd party games like FFXVI, which also pushed consoles and was well received.

Microsoft, themselves, know they have a game problem, but their out-of-tune fans continue to pay rent in LaLa Land and that's why the quality remains so low. They know you couldn't care less and won't demand better.

[ChasterMies]

“Xbox’s lineup looks even stronger this year”

Like that’s hard.

[Zeref]

@BehindTheRows

Cope harder lol

[BehindTheRows]

“Cope harder”

I know you’re struggling, but try to actually offer a rebuttal.

[Lightning77]

@Crows of course it's common knowledge how can anyone defend 0 games the past 12 years? Xbox fanboys in denial perhaps? Having no games during those times is a little hard to defend your brain would bleed trying to defend that.

@OC huh? Nice little assumption. Xbox can can have 100 games and if none of them are good then they might as well go back to not releasing anything. 0 games is better flooding the service with bad games.

Again nice little assumption you got there.

@Fever I'm talking about the number of first party releasing for Xbox compared to PS. Not sales numbers I dunno where you got that from.

[Lightning77]

@Jones again you fanboys come out of no where y'all mate like rabbits maybe you're an alt account who knows.

yep PS sales more. Again common knowledge not sure why you're telling me this. No you thought I was gonna argue them having no games. I don't argue facts like most do here, nice try.

That's great now Xbox has potential to have good games this time around lol.

[Tedakin]

Name 1 first party exclusive Sony is releasing in 2024. The Last of U2 again only 3 years later?

[Terry_B]

They are not exclusives since they are also coming to PC. And the time that most people only have a console at home and not also a gaming pc are over. At least here in Europe its pretty standard. Looking forward to play (watch) Hellblade II when its out.

[Lightning77]

Not exclusive. The same applies to most of PS games now. Your downplay backfired.

[Terry_B]

Yeah..I wish all Sony Games or Games that are timed exclusives for Sony would be on Day 1 on PC as well..and in the best case Nintendo Stuff too.

If it would be the case I would only have a PC right now. And maybe that would stop the stupid console war you seem to adore so much.

[EvertonFC]

They are exclusive on release day, it's a bit different when and if they goto PC 2 plus years later.

[Lightning77]

Bringing sense isn't console warring or offensive. Don't get mad at me you're the one that said it. The only difference is they aren't Day an date on PC with PS games. Like Rise Of The Ronin is only on PS which is a game I planning on picking up myself.

[Terry_B]

To be honest..God of War Ragnarök and Gran Turismo 7 are the only games on my ps5 that are exclusive..well that and the many ps4 games that were exclusives as well.

But the bigger difference is..not all the sony games get on pc..and it takes 1+ years.

And here it comes: The biggest difference is. Almost every first party Sony game is a banger.

Be it God of War, GT, Spider-man, The Last of Us, Ratchet and Clank.

That are games in their own league far above everything microsoft released in the last 15 years aside from their pretty good Forza games, Killer Instinct and Age of Empires 4 that is best played on PC.

And thats exactly why you have only 1 xbox in 5 gaming households but 3 playstations.

And thats why it is hilarious to believe that something will change this year and xbox will eats playstations exclusives at lunch.

same hope by xbox fans year for year. same reaction every when games like starfield, redfall and what else was released is just another mediocre- good game but nothing awesome.

[EvertonFC]

I work in people's homes and I see less desktop PCs now than I did the 90s, it's mainly consoles, handhelds and the little ones playing android games on a tablet.
It's Extremely RARE to see a custom built gaming rig if ever these days and when I do see a desktop PC it's normally pretty standard.
I'm UK

[Zeref]

So are Playstation games cope harder 😂

[Terry_B]

Sadly not all of them

[Redemption-64]

I feel like this happens every year, from how MS is going to dominate, smoke Sony, sell more systems, GP subs going to skyrocket or something along those lines.

[Barlos]

It's been going on for so long that it's kind of a tradition at this point.

[EvertonFC]

Gaming journalists just rinse and repeat, it's like ground hog year with the same articles but different "game name attached"
Same with ground hog gens, nxt gen we will get the same old articles from the previous gen.
I bet gaming journalists today save there articles and just change the article headline half the time.

[Zeref]

It doesn't happen every year that Xbox has 9 exclusives lined up. Meanwhile Playstation has 0 first parties and like three or four 3rd party games😂

[EvertonFC]

Playstation has Zero, you might want to check that. Something called the internet 😂

[Redemption-64]

The level of pure copium you and your ilk take in deserves an award in it self.

[Sonic1881]

I laughed when they said that 🤣

[EvertonFC]

@IGN "Eat playstation lunch" 😂🤣

[Destiny1080]

is this a good year for xbox, its hard to tell looking from the outside in

[TheTony316]

Same old shit articles every year.

[Ironmike]

Isn't rebirth also on xbox

[mkis007]

Nope

[Ironmike]

Think u find its only a ps5 exclusive for 3 months so it will appear on other platforms

[Barlos]

No. It'll come to pc but not Xbox. Keep dreaming. Remake hasn't even come to Xbox so what makes you think Rebirth will?

[mkis007]

is remake on Xbox yet years later? if anything you will probably have to wait until all 3 games are out in like 4 years.

[Aussiesummer]

LOL, Ooooh shit, good one.

[Ironmike]

Here's an even better one it's only a timed exclusive on ps5 for only 3vmonths best one yet lol

[DarXyde]

I mean they did buy ABK, Zenimax, and Ninja Theory to name a few.

If they have that and they still can't have more exclusives in a year than Playstation and Nintendo, they really should just pack it up and quit.

In terms of better games? Well, you only need to release one to be in the running for best game of 2024, don't you? For quantity of better exclusives?

I can't say Xbox has had much in the way of impressive exclusives, but that's just me.

[Barlos]

Will PlayStation eat Xbox alive in 2024? Judging by 2023, I'd say that is a distinct possibility.

In terms of first party games, I have no idea what Sony have coming for PS5 this year, nor Xbox for that matter.

But in terms of exclusives, well I have FF7 Rebirth pre ordered. That's likely to be one of the biggest games of the year imo.

[XBManiac]

[InUrFoxHole]

N4g sony fans can't cope. They see the writing on the wall. They're like pats fans when Brady left.

[anast]

While watching this video there was a Sony Insomniac advert. You can't make this stuff up.

[Ironmike]

Felixs Jones never said its coming to xbox said it only going to be an exclusive for 3months and if u do Google it not said anywhere that it not coming on xbox eventually I don't think it will either and by the way I own both consoles so it makes no difference to me ur one getting but hurt over I comment I made I was just stating facts so how old u boy

[gold_drake]

no, it never made a difference, not sure why this year would be the year.

[Ra3030]

Really, WTF!!? First lets start with ....Microsoft First Party doesn't release any "exclusive" games to one Platform that includes the Xbox Consoles and this has been well known for years. Second Microsoft doesn't release any unbroken, well polished and most important "Good" games and this to has been fact for years if not decades.
All that said it makes it pointless to go on kicking this dead horse.............Soooo NO!!

[RupeeHoarder]

Sony has Q1 in the bag. We’ll go from there.

Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth
The Last of Us 2: Remastered
Rise of the Ronin
Pacific Drive
Helldivers 2

[frostypants]

This discussion has happened many times over the last 15-20 years and the answer always winds up being "no".

[Elda]

Nope. So far it seems Avowed & Hellblade 2 may be releasing sometime this year & to me those games look average at best. From what MS has shown so far when it comes to XB exclusives nothing looks to be jaw dropping/wow factor experiences. Nothing has changed & the song remains the same.

[Extermin8or3_]

So Sony first party have been quiet and we only really k own about first 6 months if 2024 at most atm. If I were xbox I'd be worried though, sony using 3rd party plug their gaps. With rumours if next gen xbox hitting in 2026 to try and 1 up Sony I'd be concerned if I were MS I see that being when sony's first partied hit their stride thus gen and then it'll be first party title after title pissing all over miceosofts parade.

[ianyoung3]

More and more it just becomes clear there is a stark difference of opinion between the "hardcore" and "casual" gamers. The friends I know who are into PlayStation but not your typical all in player don't care at all if the offering of exclusive games come from 1st or 3rd party. Whats important is that platform holders can fill their gaps from their internal teams with compelling, high quality games.

As an owner of all 3 platforms I am sooooooo glad I have a compelling reason to play each. Now that Xbox will start delivering titles I am interested in I can just enjoy that many more games

[Profchaos]

If we're taking first party who knows we know nothing of Sony's plans and he'll blade 2 is not garunteed 2024 yet because of a fake rumour everyone believes it
We know avowed is coming but that's it really

[bleedsoe9mm]

Did last year will next year
