There was only 1 Xbone game released in January?

Seriously?

March is the real shocker. One of the busiest months of the year and only 2 games.

 

[andromeduck]

you should make more

 

[NinjaFridge]

March is the real shocker. One of the busiest months of the year and only 2 games.

I get that's its early days and you can't expect many game releases every month at this point in a generation but that's just sad.

Anytime someone posts "How is the PS4 selling with no games?!"

Post this fucking chart.

 

[funkystudent]

Considering how important XBLA was to them the XB1's downloadable scene sure is dead right now.

I hope ID@Xbox turns it around because that chart is depressing.

 

[Mooreberg]

I see that image getting a lot of use in the near future, and rightfully so.

 

[Syphon Filter]

Anytime someone posts "How is the PS4 selling with no games?!"

Post this fucking chart.

They dont care about those titles. Although i do see those indies coming late for xbox one.

 

[VariantX]

that list actually leaves out a couple of games on the PS4.

Im pretty sure pure chess, that trivia game and backgammon blitz were available not too long ago on the store. Dont know what the hell king swapper is, but there is a title called king oddball out as well.

 

[ProfessorMoran]

Actually, what you're forgetting is that last gen was split between three consoles, whereas this gen, with WiiU underperforming, is essentially split between two consoles. Even if Sony dominates all regions, the Xbox brand can still manage a very healthy total sales figure, that might even surpass the 80 million set by the 360. The market and demand are larger than they have ever been, and both consoles are beating their predecessors.

So where does the need to 'recover' even come from? Seems like an unfounded fear.

Those casual gamers who bought a Wii last gen have moved on to free to play phone and iPad games, they're most likely not going to be split among Sony and ms, core Nintendo fans are always going to go with Nintendo, the core market has grown but that's the market the xbone is losing in nearly every region due to higher price and weaker hardware, the latter of which cannot be remedied.

 

[Biker19]

LOL. Who's the system that "has no games" now?

 

[TheRealTalker]

Eventually when you have a large stack of titles coming out every week of the month the value of the console becomes greater.


Even though some aren't AAA games, multiple indie games create a large library of diversity.

 

[RoyalLaFlame]

Do people really buy a console that has the most games even knowing they won't play half of them? Or it's only useful for fanboy wars?



This is a big win for Sony. Great console, great games and I still wan't to buy one.

 

[gundamkyoukai]

I can see this getting use a lot and should make some people shut up .
Not caring about certain games is one thing saying PS4 don't have any is trash .

 

[AnthonypUK]

and thats without the November and December games...

We may not play all of them, but there is a lot to choose from so there is something for everyone.

 

[Uno Venova]

Not sure what the list disproves, I doubt the marketing and development budget of those indie titles match up to games like Titanfall.

It's useful for having more games to choose from whenever you are about to buy a new game for your system.

I wonder how many people would try to object to this in the contrary position, if X1 had more games than the PS4.

 

[OneUh8]

wow lol. That is nuts. I hate it when people say PS4 has no games. It is disingenuous.

I agree. It doesn't matter what the quality of the game is and the amount of content they have, Titanfall's marketing budget dwarfs all of those games combined. Titanfall cancels out all of those games so there's really no games left on the PS4 side of things.

 

[Majmun]

Not sure what the list disproves, I doubt the marketing and development budget of those indie titles match up to games like Titanfall.

The big budget doesn't make Titanfall anymore better or more fun.

 

[RealityPales]

Wait... So is nothing coming out on the XBO's marketplace every week?

 

[N30RYU]

With 2013 lauch games this list would be perfect and will still show the point

 

[AnthonypUK]

Not sure what the list disproves, I doubt the marketing and development budget of those indie titles match up to games like Titanfall.

no but I'm sure the other collective exclusives do, hmm then again microsoft did spunk 10's of millions of dollars on marketing a title that helped them firmly into second place, yeah im glad sony didnt do that

 

[Syphon Filter]

Wait... So is nothing coming out on the XBO's marketplace every week?

Nah they have been slow on it but eventually it will get the indie titles.

 

[RealityPales]

Not sure if serious? Please don't be. lol

Nah i sure FFXIV budget got Titanfall's marketing budget cover by it's self lol .

 

[Gator86]

Wow, this is going to shup up a lot of people spouting nonsense. Can we combine this chart with explanations of why 60fps > 30fps and why parity in sales doesn't automatically benefit the consumer? That would make the world a better place. Or at least here on GAF anyway.

 

[alatif113]

Not sure what the list disproves, I doubt the marketing and development budget of those indie titles match up to games like Titanfall.

Its funny because for your argument you could only choose Titanfall, Kinect Sports Rivals, or PvZ from the chart as they were the only exclusives. You have chose wisely.

 

[RoyalLaFlame]

We may not play all of them, but there is a lot to choose from so there is something for everyone.

I agree with that. But I see these lists as something more useful to a fanboy war than to the actual quality of the console. You can have a shit ton of games on it but if they're all crap, what's the point? (not saying those games are crap)

Quality is indeed better than quantity. Better content creates a better product overall.


I'm not saying it's the case right now with the PS4 but it can happen.

It's useful for having more games to choose from whenever you are about to buy a new game for your system.

I wonder how many people would try to object to this in the contrary position, if X1 had more games than the PS4.

I would say the exact same thing. I don't pick sides.

 

[AnthonypUK]

Nah i sure FFVIX budget got Titanfall's marketing budget cover by it's self lol .

and that was probably just v1.0...

 

[fedexpeon]

Wut?
Bound by Flame is PS4 exclusive?

 

[Verendus]

Hm, interesting chart but I don't think it paints a true representation of how things actually are. I mean, you could use this if you had some kind of agenda or you could be sensible and unbiased. In which case, I personally prefer the following:

 

[Pristine_Condition]

Not sure what the list disproves, I doubt the marketing and development budget of those indie titles match up to games like Titanfall.

So basically the argument is "Have you SEEN (an ad for) Titanfall?"

...

 

[RealityPales]

Any word on Watch Dogs resolutions?

That could stir up a lot of shit prior to release and lead to an even larger gap in May / June between the two consoles

thought we were told 1080p ps4 and 900something xbox. But I quite frankly dont remember. Maybe someone else remembers/has a link to a thread/tweet.

 

[Massa]

Wut?
Bound by Flame is PS4 exclusive?

No, it's PS4, PS3, Xbox 360 and PC.

Hm, interesting chart but I don't think it paints a true representation of how things actually are. I mean, you could use this if you had some kind of agenda or you could be sensible and unbiased. In which case, I personally prefer the following:

Ha! Should be:

JAN: Titanfall alpha
FEB: Titanfall beta
MAR-until Xbox Two: Titanfall

 

[Tratorn]

Wait... So is nothing coming out on the XBO's marketplace every week?

Yep, it's a disaster. There were finally some announcements some weeks ago for ID@XBox, so the situation will be better in some months. But for now the marketplace is just a joke with very few exceptions.

 

[GribbleGrunger]

Not sure what the list disproves, I doubt the marketing and development budget of those indie titles match up to games like Titanfall.

Oh, I see, it's about marketing and budget now.

 

[Verendus]

So basically the argument is "Have you SEEN (an ad for) Titanfall?"

...

In one month, a million seller. In 12 months, a 12 million seller.

All you need is Titanfall.

Xbox One is no hype, all games.

PS4? All hype, no games.

 

[EGM1966]

Not sure what the list disproves, I doubt the marketing and development budget of those indie titles match up to games like Titanfall.

Yup - marketing and development budgets are so much fun to play. Nothing compares.

Let's be honest - I think we all know exactly what this list disproves.

 

[fedexpeon]

So basically the argument is "Have you SEEN (an ad for) Titanfall?"

...

No, he means that Indies=!games and shouldn't be counted with the AAAAAAAAAAAA titles like Titanfall, the hypest genre defining game of our generation.

PS4 has no games for AAA gamers like him.

 

[jinto lin]

Great list, they should also make for the month november + december and keep updating that $hit

BTW http://blog.us.playstation.com/2014/03/26/ps4-games-in-2014-the-ultimate-list/ no games huh...

 

[TheRealTalker]

higher marketing ad = better game

 

[LiquidMetal14]

The penmanship!

 

[Wynnebeck]

Nah they have been slow on it but eventually it will get the indie titles.

Surely, Xbone will get the Karkland.

 

[Bunta]

In one month, a million seller. In 12 months, a 12 million seller.

Xbox One is no hype, all games.

PS4? All hype, no games.

You got that right!

 

[artist]

Yeah... But only about three of those titles are exclusive to the XB1.

the ps4 has quality and quantity.

PS4 games have all of those things, not only the least important one which is higher resolution in some multiplatform games, but also the quantity and quality.

Diverse game libraries are like that.

I was doing some premature damage control there, it was in jest. Not sure if that resolution bit was enough to give it away. :/

 

[Ishan]

You got that right!

lol ... so appropirate .

 

[Majmun]

Is that list thread-worthy?

I don't think most people are even aware of Ps4's and X1's line up situation so far this year...
