I still don't get the notion that X1 launch is blowing PS4's at all. it might edge it a little for very short period.
Just look at this diagram:

you can't put a price on sparks
So basically it's good for everyone because people making those kinect games can be fine with people buying a kinect camera to play their game or bundle it with the game.

XB1 and PS4

opinions.
they look quality titles. in the same way knack or kz look quality even if they're mind blowing games.
So all MS have to do next November is go back on almost two years of telling everyone how critical and vital Kinect is, and then take a huge loss by bundling the console with a third party game, a $60 controller, and a $60 Live subscription?
I'm sure the shareholders will be ecstatic about that.

I thought the same. as a pc and ps3 gamer the whole (tons of games) thing doesn't apply at all. If i'd never touched them though there'd be several.
I suspect a lot of the pc free to play stuff is helping to tick boxes early on but will soon be forgotten as the big releases come. Gives something to play early on anyway.

missing hohokum for PS4. Nice diagram though.
and so would a $299 Ps4 bundled with a year of PS+ advertised as 65 free games and extra controller and Uncharted 4, but neither are happening are they?

It's also missing multiple Sony exclusives for 2014 as well. Don't be salty.
I would not be suppressed if most of those games are shown at e3 next year. The same for the order since they are being kind of cagey with the release date.

Wow PC gaming has zero exclusives? What a piece of crap!

Nope. Add ons sell like shit. Even the original kinect, considered a wild success only sold around 30 million units, give or take. Less than half of the 360 install base.
Anyone developing a Kinect heavy game under the impression that 100% of the userbase will be ABLE to at least play their game will not be happy to find that their potential audience is now 25 to 35 percent of the xbone base.
MS talking heads (the reddit ama) have essentially said as much as well, saying that guarantees have been made to certain developers regarding Kinect.

Oh, I was talking about announced titles like Rime, Shadow of the Beast, Hohokum, Everybody Goes to the Rapture. But yea, we still have 10 more first party games to be announced for 2014. I expect one of them to be a big AAA, with some more small titles.
hur hur.
I was talking about sunset overdrive ect. Sony definantly have big games for 2014 hidden. I think they know they are in a good spot and they don't have to show everything they have and holding their cards have proved to be beneficial to them before.

pre-order cancelled.

I don't mean to be that "Microsoft Too!" guy, but yea... MS too. I think the exclusives listed are only going talking Playstation vs Microsoft, because there's several cross-gens on both 'exclusive' list. And if they're going to include cross gen, they're missing a lot from Sony's Japan lineup.
We huh?

Don't worry it is also missing a load of PS4 titles too.
I think the creator has only used firm date games, not just announced and intimated for 2014.
Oh absolutely, (Zoo Tycoon is a 360 game too, for example.)

To be honest I think if we took into account all the variations of exclusives (all of which certailnly have merit in looking at) it would probably be unreadable
You would have to add in available on PS3, PSV, X360 as well
That would get messy

Even though a $150 price drop in a year seems ridiculous, that bundle just screams "Just buy a 360." In a year neither ps4 or x1 main selling point should be a game you can already experience on a cheaper console that you may already own

Your opinion's actually quite popular. The popularity of that opinion could also potentially kill the gaming industry. So keep that in mind.
I'd like to say that a good add on would sell well, however that wouldn't be entirely accurate. I think the core issue is that, most folks who buy a console to play games don't do it for the random gimmicks. The folks that buy consoles to have experiences, will buy those aforementioned gimmicks. I feel that the overal adoption rate of the kinect in the previous generation will be a good indicator for title adoption, in general, for titles that heavily employ the kinect in the upcoming generation in addition to, if the product ever is sold without the kinect bundled in the box. It wouldn't be any different than selling a niche title on a low adoption rate (by percentage) console or portable. You would be chasing after a small percentage of a percentage of the total whole possible and unless the game received exposure and advertising greater than the original dead island trailer, the COD franchise in general, and potentially the final fantasy series (while concurrently being a really good game overall), I have a hard time that it would change the minds of the collective gamer population out there.
Yes, it's coming to the X1.
