As I've pointed out a few times, regardless of if Microsoft says this is the best line up in Xbox history, Metacritic scores and sales numbers just don't support that assertion.
There was also talk from the fans that Backwards Compatibility would help sales and again I pointed out several times that BC would do very little to help X1 sales, because gamers want to play the latest games on their new console. BC would only ever help in previously strong Xbox regions, na...
Do check Metacritic. Actual game journalists, overall rate PS4 IPs higher than X1 IPs.
X1 has *no* new IPs in their top 20 rated games. PS4 has Bloodborne rated 5th in their top 10. X1 doesn't even have an exclusive in their top 10. You have to go to top 20 to see an X1 exclusive rated. While PS4 has 5 console exclusives rated in the top 10.
These are facts, not opinion! This is then backed up by console sales numbers.
Why are Microsoft fanboys so scared ...
The sales numbers prove that Sony laid all the ground work for the November sales and releasing new IPs, updated games etc wasn't necessary to boost sales. This allows their studios to focus on hitting their release dates in 2016, "when they're done".
I also think Sony have the potential to hit 35+mill by end of Jan. Not long before we find out.
Well done Sony!

How many totally NEW IPs have been released on the Xbox One since its launch and how many of those new IPs are listed in the top 10 games for Xbox One on Metacritic?
Let me answer for you 0. No new exclusive IPs are even listed in X1's top 20 list on Metacritic.
Enter stage left Bloodborne. New IP, Top 5 rated on PS4 Metacritic.
Note: Bloodborne is neither a remaster, indie or lameass :)
Check the X1 list and its top 10 ...
Are there any details about the actual programme that will be going along with it? Who's in it? Has filming finished? etc.
As already posted... Most of these have been announced as PS4 (no PC involved) exclusives for 2016..
Uncharted 4 - only on PS4
Horizon: Zero Dawn - only on PS4
Ratchet and Clank (2016) - only on PS4
Wild - only on PS4
Dreams - only on PS4
Detroit - only on PS4
The Last Guardian - only on PS4
Gran Turismo Sport - only on PS4
Tekken 7 - only on PS4

@spice, @shy : you are aware that there are other operating systems that run on Personal Computers right? Like MacOS by Apple or Linux, which are both targeted by Steam and in actual fact is a bigger gaming market than Windows and more so once the SteamBox comes out!
To think that PC is a Microsoft *only* domain is very narrow thinking. That was the case back in 1985, when no one knew any better, but these days you guys/gals should be better informed.
@Fat you are aware that there are other operating systems that run on Personal Computers right? Like MacOS by Apple or Linux, which are both targeted by Steam and in actual fact is a bigger gaming market than Windows and more so once the SteamBox comes out.
Maybe you are mentally stuck in 1985 and think Windows is the only general purpose operating system currently available. Me thinks your thinking needs updating.
@rain Did you actually use Kinect and WiiMote for gaming, for shooters for example? The lag was atrocious. The closest thing to real time responses was the Move, by an absolute mile. Move was useable in Killzone. I used it. I tried Kinect for gaming, terrible experience. WiiMote was just a waggle stick, so not realistic at all.
I agree that Driving Sim may be a market for VR, but realistically that is quite niche these days. Just look at the sales of Forza or Drive Club and c...
@Fat "Microsoft = PC and Xbox one " So when Sony release a game like No Man's Sky on PC too, that makes the game a Sony exclusive too? Or would that now make it a Microsoft exclusive now? What sort of warped logic are you using?
You obviously don't understand the word *exclusive*. Maybe a dictionary purchase should be on the cards or maybe add it to you Christmas present list....assuming you've been a good boy/girl :).
In case you can...
Until you can plug the simulation directly into your cerebral cortex any peripheral you have to "wear" won't have mass market gaming appeal, for long. If you have to stand, put it on or wave your arms about, Minority Report style, it won't sell.
Kinect, great tech just not for serious gaming.
Wii, fun tech, just not for serious gaming
Move, very accurate tech, just not for serious gaming.
Why did they all fail for gaming in the long ...
The accent is really all over the place. Sometimes it is South African, other times Australian, other words, English.
If she has to be white, then get a white South African actress, FFS, not someone who is this bad at accents.
Statistically, from here - https://en.wikipedia.org/wi... PS4 does have more proper exclusives, not timed, than Xbox 1.
PS4 exclusives also rate higher on Metacrtitic than X1 exclusives. PS4 has 3 rated 90 or higher in the PS4 top 10, X1 has 1 exclusive which is rated 87, Forza, and it is only just hanging into the top 20. X1 has no top 10 rated exclusive games. Hal...
Re: it is lacking, but is *not* a must have feature for PS4 because you can put in a bigger HD any time you like, unlike the X1.
@Rookie "1. best exclusives....... "
Metacritic would like a word with you. 4 proper PS4 exclusives are rated as top 10 games by critics and rated 90+. 1, Bloodborne, is a totally new IP, this gen in that top 10.
Only 1 X1 title makes the top 20 list with a Metacritic score of 87....that is Forza 6. Everything else...
"AAAA exclusives "

Only 1 X1 title makes the top 20 list with a Metacritic score of 87....that is Forza 6. Everything else in the top 20 is either multiplat or a timed exclusive, so not really an exclusive. Halo 5 doesn't even make the top 20 games on X1!!
Also note that X1...

@Death Ok let's assume outselling Sony is irrelevant. How are they turning their fortune around in the US/UK? Those are the only Xbox strong holds, last gen and this gen. Europe is literally a lost cause, as they are 3:1 ahead of Xbox. Japan well, the less said the better.
Right now in US/UK Xbox One sales are 1M behind Sony. How big a drop in PS4 sales do you envision, and over what period of time, before X1 passes PS4 in US/UK? What is your prediction?
I persona...
@Death Sales do matter because
1. Without sales XBox Execs can't justify investment in the XBox business
2. Without investment in the Xbox business, Xbox can't get exclusives, except for core internal game devs.
3. Without exclusives and a console that plays multi-plats poorly, everyone will just buy the opposition.
4. Ultimately XBox is a business, they can only allow it to hemorrhage money for so long before they either sell it off or drop it, which...
@whoyouwit04 so now there is a conspiracy? So last gen when Xbox 360 games were getting higher scores than PS3 multi-plats, did the conspiracy exist then too?
You sir, are grasping at straws.
