Difference between games and exclusives
So every time I read anything about Microsoft or the new XboX, I always see the same comment. And it's always shoved out there with the confidence that it trumps every other possible argument that might be in favor of XboX.
"Xbox has no games."
Now why has this been the go-to argument against Xbox recently? Does no one realize that there is a difference between games and [i]exclusives[/i]?
Sure, PS has a few good exclusives (I say a few because while there are some fantastic ones, a lot of them are pretty disappointing), but Xbox has all of the same non-exclusives that PS does, and now those games are going to get a nice graphics boost on the new console.
The Xbox library is still huge, and last time I checked, tons of devs were already announcing the updates their games are going to get.
All this is to simply say: Hey, think about what you're saying before you post.

1 ReplyXbox has halo and dark souls which are the only 2 franchises I've ever been invested in. I also played bloodborne but the lack of builds and linear design made me glad I didn't buy my own PS4 for it

Both have games. I think Xbox has 1000 xb1 games and PS4 has 1400 games.

When you subtract the games that Xbox and PlayStation have in common, the third party titles, there is a massive disparity between what games are available in each consoles games library. Microsoft only have the staples of Halo/Geara/Forza, and a smattering of other lesser titles, hardly worthy of mentioning. When was the last time that Microsoft developed a recognised 'game of the year'? A cursory glance at various 'game of the year' lists reveals that Halo (2001), Gears (2006) are the only games. I do not have the time or the inclination to post the numerous 'Game of the Year' that Sony have had... The problem is that Microsoft do not have any narrative games. Sony excel in creating groundbreaking games with a very strong narrative, and it is this body of work that garners them award, after award. Microsoft appear to have focused solely on the multiplayer experience, rather than the content in their games. Narrative games existed long before the multiplayer era, and the majority of gamers see these types of games as true games. So, when people say that Xbox has 'no games' this is what they are talking about.

Xbox exclusive franchises that i can think of right now: Gears of war Halo Forza Banjo Killer instinct Sea of thieves Recore Fable Quantum something They have a game for everyone and these games generally dominate in their categories. I'd take Gears over Uncharted because i get much more replay out of the games. Halo is easily better than Killzone or Resistance Forza has been touted as the best racing franchise for a few years now. Killer instinct is a solid fighter Banjo is dead as hell Sea of thieves looks very promising Recore apparently was a solid game that I'd like to see more of. Fable 1-2 are great adventure rpgs (3 is undoubtedly shit) Quantum break is for you story nerds. Ms has exclusives, they just don't use them enough. They also own Rare and are just starting to have them do shit for once with Sea of thieves.

5 RepliesMaybe the Scorpio will be relevant when 4K TV's are actually mainstream.

I read the XboxX has no games as in, "the XboxX has no games that the XboxOne, PS4, and PSPro don't already have" which makes that $500 price tag even more hard to swallow when you consider you can buy a standard XboxOne and PS4 for the price of an X.

Plus you only get the boost if you have a 4K tv.

If anyone says Xbox has no games they are just jealous their mom didn't buy them an Xbox. FACT

Same thing I point out, I just use far less words. However most do mean it as no exclusives or lacking exclusives.
