2016 was just like 2017 they went basically a full year with out any games then released a couple games at the end of the year.
Microsoft should be ashamed regardless of what the competition did. Eight months between retail exclusive releases. An E3 that was just a bunch of timed exclusive indies. Phil and crew just constantly saying dumb stuff like exclusives aren't relevant right after the release of games like Horizon and Zelda and gaas as a service in the future of gaming. Canceling games when the line-up was basically a barren wasteland. I could go on but these are the most obvious failures.
This is how you support a game. You don't need MT's to have quality content updates.

"Of the 500 plus exclusives, how many in your opinion are must have games?"
Well, more than on Xbox that's for sure. And I would say that all 500+ exclusives were must buys for someone.
"Keep in mind the average PS4 gamer owns 11 games including multiplats which make up the majority of games in the library."
Well lets put it in perspective 11 retail exclusives is more exclusives tha...
PS4
Exclusive = 122
Console exclusive = 427
I bought over 350 for PS4 and they're all exclusive!1!!1!
You know its a sad list when you have to use games the launch year to make your argument. I can name more games that will be out in 2018 for PS4 than all the games on your list.
I think what your trying to say is 90% of all games on Xbox are also on PS4, because 90% of all games on PS4 are not multiplatform. Nearly 45% of all games on PS4 are exclusive.
Exclusive = 122
Console exclusive = 427
Multiplatform = 1136
Yea, I have basically zero interest in this game as it stands.
Well, the thing is Phil basically said that 2 projects were just started after the poor reception of their indie focused E3. But the thing is games take a really long time if to make if you want them to be able to compete with the big games these days. So that's like 4 - 5 years out,
By xbox standards next year is ok (again by xbox standards). But whats after 2018? There has basically been zero talk of any other projects beyond 2018. I mean probably a Halo game and ...
I hope this comes west...
What evidence do you have to say that xbox sells more digitally than PS4? I mean other than the desire to downplay this result....

Haha let him speak his mind... Everyone will just down vote him and we all get the simple joy of pointing our fingers and laughing at him while we explain exactly why he's wrong.
Yes, by basically every metric PS4 has just dominated this year. And the amazing this is that next year has the potential to be even better!
Globally PS4 has sold greater than three times as much software over Xbox this year.
It's nice to see the articles recognition of the impact that exclusives had on sales this year, Though even the big AAA titles have been selling two to three times as many units this year as well.
Don't be naive, better sales gives companies more money to invest in new games and more market share gives them better deals with 3'rd parties. Sales are the most important thing for these companies.
Well... in general i feel like people shouldn't review games if they haven't finished them... So if you suck so bad you can't finish a game then you probably shouldn't review it. But I would still say you have to take in on a case by case basis.
Every time I think of Gravity Rush I get sad because I fear they might not make a third game. it was such a good game yet so few people bought it. It has awesome art, characters, story, and especially the music and the dev's really supported it with awesome free DLC. QQ
Hopefully Sony will see the value in it and make more games.
It's a shame music licensing is so complicated and expensive that these games will never come west
I'm sure Microsoft wishes people would forget 2017 where they canceled games and closed studios even though there line-up was was a barren wasteland. And I'm sure Microsoft would be happy if people forgot their E3 where they showed all they showed was a bunch of timed exclusive indies.
And I'm sure Phil wishes people would forget all the dumb stuff he said like "single player games aren't relevant" right after the success of Horizon and Zelda. ...
