Might want to add that Don't Starve will be available on the Instant Game Collection on its release date. Binding of Isaac: Rebirth comes out in Early 2014 on IGC too.
 
There's a fair few indie games I want to play, some F2Ps and retail games in Q1. Shame there will be little to nothing coming in December by the looks.
 
I have a feeling The Witness will be a Q2 or Q3 game. Jonathan Blow doesn't seem willing to rush it out the door. He's still adding more puzzles!

Great list, though. Plenty of stuff on both consoles with the early edge going to the PS4.
 
Just looked it up. According to this site it's February 2014 for PS3/PS4 and 2014 for everything else:
http://www.siliconera.com/2013/11/2...creenshots-nice-ps3-version-original-strider/

Dunno if that's Japan release date or what (that's the launch date of the PS4). Added to OP under early 2014.

That would be a great launch game for Japan, but you have to lol at Capcom playing both sides. Dead Rising for Xbone launch in the West and Strider for PS4 in Japan.
They know how to make some money.
 
Really? I look forward to it, but there's no denying that at present, it definitely appears as though they've abandoned the X1...

They've had a really, really late start. Most ID@Xbox devs haven't even gotten their dev kits yet (Pinball Arcade devs among others).

Expect more indie games for Xbox towards the end of summer/fall 2014.

Deep Down hits in Japan at launch too right?

Ah that's right, added!
 
Even including games that should be released during Q1 (like Drive Club), retail lineup through March 2013 for both is seriously lacking. Like, not even 10 titles releasing from January to March. Fortunately, even if lots of them are ports of titles already available elsewhere, indies are literally invading the PS4 lineup. I can't believe One will stay this way for too long, I suppose things will be announced soon.

Why such a focus on retail?
 
Look like I'm not buying a new game until March. A lot of interesting indies on the horizon though. That's all on a wait and see basis.

Ah, thanks. I didn't know they hadn't sent out dev kits yet. Guess that explains the complete lack of indie announcements.

Would be pretty sad to see MS being ignored after being the ones to help push indie development on consoles in the first place, but I guess you reap what you sow and boy did they sow some bitterness throughout the indie community with their policies...
 
It really amazes me how some people hype up Titanfall, just one game, and somehow make it sound like the X1 has this great lineup (while dismissing everything else). If Titanfall, a 360/PC/X1 game counts in X1's favor then there is no reson why ps3/4/PC games shouldn't count for PS4
