CRank: 5Score: 8870

@Nickie, @Coyote : I state facts, and I'm the bad guy?? I highlight Xbox fans because I consistently see comments from the aforementioned, saying things like Xbox has the best games line up. Yet when I point out that the data on Metacritiic doesnt support this assertion, I'm a bad guy for showing people on both sides of the fence the realities. X1 fans appear to be, right now, in denial.

For example objectively looking at data...

Take some time to educate yourself and look on Metacritic and compare average scores for both console's exclusives.

PS4 has 5 exclusives( Last of Us, Journey, Bloodborne, flower, Zen Pinball), that are in the Top 20 scored on that platform.
Xbox One has 2 exclusives (Forza and Tomb Raider). Not even the almighty Halo 5 is in the top 20 scored!

On both platforms everything else is multi-platform.

Now if you then drill down you'...

To put that in context, that's faster than PS3 and Xbox 360 combined for the same 2 year period and also more than Xbox One and WiiU combined this gen.
To be fair WiiU isn't helping combined numbers much this gen.

*Combined* folks!! Let that sink in, particularly Xbox fans.

Helping the PS4 world wide cause.

XBox 360 support was abysmal in the last 2 years of last gen.
You could tell the team had lost interest and had started focussing on "next gen".

At least Sony was still releasing games like The Last of Us at the end of the PS3 cycle.

It becomes relevant if the amount of deformation actually affects how the cars handle on the track, depending on tyre temperature and weather conditions.
If you've never driven you probably have no idea what I'm talking about.

When you go around a corner, for example, g-forces, in the real world, will cause your tyres to deform, change shape. They are trying to simulate that in the game.
Hope that makes sense.

Actually not in *every* aspect.
1. Sales! Forza hasn't even sold anywhere near as many copies as Drive Club. In its first week DC sold over 300k world wide, while Forza sold about 200k and Forza's weekly sales have dropped massively since then.
2. Lighting and water effects. If you objectively believe that Forza is better in any of these areas, you need prescription glasses.

Can you define "for now" do you mean this week, this hour, this second, or something more realistic like since both consoles were released?

If this Wikipedia page is to be believed, just counting Console exclusives...

PS4 has 21 Exclusives.
XBox One has 13 Exclusives.

Good to see the Gears lot on there.
Lots of Arcade games too.
Bastion is conspicuous by its absence.

Watch the last gameplay footage release and take note how repetitive the kill animations are or how the AI reacts (hint they DON'T) to enemies killed nearby. Now compare those reactions to how enemies react and co-ordinate with each other in Metal Gear Solid:Phantom Pain.
The graphics are pretty good, but are far from excellent for an exclusive, presumably timed and presumably their 1St target platform.
As I said, in a couple of days we'll find out if the above is acc...

The reason Major Nelson is talking up Fallout is because Tomb Raider is reviewing badly, so they want to divert attention away from the bad reviews and get gamers focusing on a really good game on Xbox One.

I'll be proven right in a couple of days :)

@HaydenJamesSmith once QB is released you'll see that these are bullshots rendered on high end PCs and NOT native Xbox One shots.

Possibly an interesting stat.
Uncharted franchise has sold 1 million units less than the Gears of War franchise across all respective platforms.
It will be interesting to see if that figure is reversed once Uncharted 4 is released next March.

I'm struggling to come up with a game where the cutscenes are worse than the gameplay?
Cutscenes have extra CPU, GPU etc as they don't have to process AI and is always extremely controlled.
It makes no sense that the cutscenes are worse than the gameplay.
I'll call it that that they are announcing this, so that everyone is not disappointed when we find out that gameplay resolution is even worse than this.

OK Killzone Shadow Fall, sold 233K first week, then 356K in its 3rd week and is currently at 2.3million world wide. So not as impressive as Bloodborne really.

Does anyone know how the Halo 5 sales units compare to whatever PS4's top selling AAA exclusive was this year??

I suspect it is Bloodborne as that sold nearly 800K in its first week, then dropped off a fair bit after that. It is now 1.5m units world wide, as I type.
Anything higher?

"towards the end of the 360 life cycle MS dropped the ball"
This is why I don't understand why any gamer in their right mind would follow Microsoft again. They showed that once the console was getting towards the end of its life-cycle and sales were dropping and they were definitely going to be outsold world wide, they basically stopped supporting the console. Check the last 2 years of the Xbox 360's life and see how many AAA exclusives were released compared to PS3?...

Ah the Xbox One Backwards Compatibilty cool-aid. Not long now before we find out just how it will affect sales in the UK/US and no where else.
