Sony vs. Microsoft vs. Nintendo: Who’s Had the Best Exclusives in 2023 So Far?

Matt Anderson "With about a third of the year remaining, it might be a good idea to check in on gaming’s big three first-party publishers to get an idea of how their year is going."

3. Sony

I mean its not even arguable

Lightning77268d ago

Spider-Man 2 is out next month. Let's wait and see after that game releases first.

dcbronco268d ago

Spiderman? Again? Remember when 3 Halos was too much Halo. Now there's like 5 Spidermans in 3 years but it's awesome.

Seraphim268d ago

@dcbronco - try 2 Spiderman games since 2018, plus Miles. The original PS4 Spiderman released on this day in 2018. 5 years + a month & we'll have the sequel. Again, with Miles in between. Say what you will about similarities, but Miles is his own unique character, and a great one at that.

that being said, I don't care about annual output. I care about generational output. That's why I can safely buy a Nintendo and Sony console. Between the two, and PC if necessary, I have more than enough games to keep me occupied.

VersusDMC268d ago

FFXVI, Horizon DLC, Forespoken beats Microsoft for me. Not even counting VR games

ravens52268d ago

Forspoken wasn't a bad game. Fn ridiculous how that game was treated. Funny thing is most people who put reviews and slandered it didn't even play it. Empty open world a lot of people said... but put 1000 empty worlds and get 10/10 lol. Bad dialogue, but if it's a white Russian male with bad dialogue we look past it. People are funny and not in a good way.

Haven't Xbox just had 1 this year Starfield
Edit: hi Rez and redfall

NotoriousWhiz268d ago (Edited 268d ago )

As one of the five proud owners of PSVR 2, I disagree.

I'll answer your question with another question. Who had Pikmin 4?

Venoxn4g268d ago

Pikmin 4 is definitely one of the GOTY contender. So much effort and love put inside the game, no wonder why they took so much time to release new entry (not counting Pikmin 3 deluxe).. had so much fun that even completed the game 100 percent (and that happens rare for me).

Jin_Sakai268d ago

1. Nintendo
2. Sony

Microsoft doesn’t even register.

Lightning77268d ago

Not sure what you mean. Hifi was great Redfall was a big miss while SF is a hit and Forza is safe it'll most likely be a hit like it tends to be.

268d ago
FinalFantasyFanatic267d ago (Edited 267d ago )

Couldn't agree more, this is the only correct answer, and this is one of Sony's slower years too, meanwhile, I can get Hifi Rush and Star Field on PC, I don't even want to touch Redfall.

This is bad for them as we know they were already in marvel hell with there schedule but now they are never getting out with these sales.

Some poor sob over there is like hey can we do infamous remaster collection? then gets yelled at thrown to a desk made to work on spiderman 3 or some shit for the the next 3 years.

This also gave sweet baby inc more support they helped with the sotry and she hulk aka marry jane so why not make the next spiderman game with gwen but her powers only work after she attends lgbqt rallies fear the power of queer right's bad guys.

Just had a thought make a new super hero with the power of rainbows that come out of the wrist jerk of men to supercharge the attack.

Abnor_Mal3d ago

Just making up bullsht off the top of yer head huh?

andy853d ago (Edited 3d ago )

"These sales" like it's a tiny number? It's sold what Spiderman 1 did on the PS4 in the same timeframe and that was labelled a huge success and there was 100 million PS4s out there at that time...compared to 50m PS5. Selling the same amount is nothing short of amazing. What a strange post

just_looken3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

Wow sound the trumpit defend them asap right?

I know 2023 was along time ago but there was a ransomware attack remember?
https://www.polygon.com/240...

So yeah they are marvel game maker slaves

"these sales" means these sales there could have been a slight tiny glimmer of hope they might make something else instead of another spiderman game with the same combat same map same dei story but nope they are now defiantly going to make another one.

and yes sweetbabyinc helped with the story/characters
https://sweetbabyinc.com/

But i get it everyone loves the nerfed bitch version of parker sense very few played/watched anything before the Spectacular days were over.

P_Bomb2d ago

“…make a new super hero with the power of rainbows that come out of the wrist jerk of men to supercharge the attack.”

Wow! Anyways…

S2Killinit2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

@Just_lookin

LOL

What did I just read? This news is hitting you hard. I just wish I could watch your face as you typed your homophobic rant. Also, maybe an English class would be time well spent.

On Topic:
Congrats to Insomniac.

Hofstaderman2d ago

House of Mouse be looking at that upcoming Blade game with certain expectations.....

romulus232d ago

If we look past the fact you're just making up a bunch of BS, we can see very clearly your comment is immature and reeks of insecurities. It's pure trolling and adds nothing to the conversation so just give it a rest.

VersusDMC2d ago

Why would insomniac want to do a infamous remaster collection if Sucker Punch are the original developers?

just_looken2d ago

A round of applause for everyone here

I give links i speak the truth but of course defend defend defend

I know they did not make infamous but all this team has done is the same dam ip except one great ratchet/clank game that we will never get a squeal or any dlc

But i get it you all want spiderman every year then a half ass marvel mobile game every 2nd year.

Again any real spiderman fan knows how muich they changed the charecter/lore/powers for the modern audiance if this was the real spiderman he would have radioactive blood like until the mid 2013's and kill marry jane.

Amn the next game from this "studio" is going to have so many dei / microtrancactions in it oof

Philaroni2d ago

Is that you Obsucre? Assuber?

outsider16242d ago

@just looken

Yeah i want another spiderman. So???

If rocksteady can make 3 Batman games. Sucker punch with 3 infamous,

Why can't Insomniac have 3 Spiderman games.

Thank God you're the minority.

mkis0072d ago

Acting like dev's aren't tied to a franchise for a while. Gears for Coalition, Halo for 343, Turn 10 has forza, playground has forza... Insomniac making 3 Spiderman games so far (with a ratchet in between fyi) doesn't even register as enough let alone too many. They are making the games they want to. It was not forced upon them.

Why would they want out of this success? Most devs would do anything for sales like this. Do you not have pride in the work you do?

MrDead2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

"This also gave sweet baby inc more support they helped with the sotry and she hulk aka marry jane so why not make the next spiderman game with gwen but her powers only work after she attends lgbqt rallies fear the power of queer right's bad guys."

Crazy right-wing snowflakes like Tim Pool have broken you with outrage media and "fear of the other". Tater Tots need to go outside and live in the real world, don't be scared... unless you're just projecting and this is some sort of Steven Crowder or Nick Fuentes situation, it's ok to be confused about you're attraction to the same sex, just go with it and you'll find you will be a happier person.

BlackOni2d ago

This is the most incel fake outrage sad shit I've seen all morning.

Congrats to making yourself look like an absolute tool while inexcusably and unnecessarily attacking the LGBTQ community.

On topic, congrats to Insomniac. Amazing game, amazing experience, and makes me hopeful for the new Wolverine Game. Would love to also see a Storm or Captain Marvel game.

Michiel19892d ago

why the hell would insomniac work on an infamous remaster collection? They are one of the most talented studios in the world and you want them to do remasters?

Nacho_Z2d ago

I've noticed talking complete nonsense is normal for you but you've outdone yourself here.

3 spider man games. Did they redo those too?

rlow13d ago

With a game called Spider-Man and made by Insomniac………..is anyone really surprised??? Congrats to them on their continued excellence in game crafting.

1Victor3d ago

Congrats to insomniac on another hit showing proof that it was a right move to be acquired by Sony unlike others developers getting closed or afraid of going on the chopping block.

My dude, insomniac was already hit with layoffs.

I wonder how Wolverine will do once released?

Hofstaderman2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Ummmm....maybe even better? We guaranteed a decent Wolverine game and with the success of Xmen 94 the franchise has now entrenched itself with a younger audience. My kids stopped watching 94 and went back to the OG series and they love it.

DarXyde2d ago

Not as well as Spider-Man, I would think. I think it still does great, but based on the footage we weren't supposed to see yet, Spider-Man seems more accessible (not to disregard he's also just more popular than Logan).

But who knows? If the game drops in close enough proximity to Deadpool and Wolverine and/or a new season of X-Men '97, we could be surprised.

Cacabunga2d ago

Wolverine will be a much more mature game.. also popularity wise spiderman is bigger.
On the other hand it might attract players who do not like spiderman kind of super heroes.

I enjoyed xmen origins Wolverine on PS3 very much it had great gameplay!

MagUk2d ago

To be honest I brought the original spider man. While the game play mechanics were excellent and very enjoyable I was put off by how childish the story felt, I probably only played it for a couple of hours at most before it got way too cringy for me.

ChasterMies2d ago

Spider-man makes more money from licensing than any other comic book character. So don’t expect Wolverine to sell as well.

Cacabunga2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Wolverine will target a completely different audience

Starfield's recent player spike is good, but it needs its Cyberpunk 2077 moment now

Starfield's recent player spike is a good sign, but Bethesda desperately need to line up their Cyberpunk 2077 moment.

I feel like the second big update that releases late this year will do just that. Part of the story expansion is also new means of transportation on planets.

P_Bomb8d ago

A good DLC could turn some heads. The Destiny games got momentum that way too.

piher8d ago

What player spike?

I checked steamcharts through the link in the article and it went from 8,000 to 11.500, so yea 20% but when the game peaked at 330,000 It's safe to say that the actual effect of this update was negligible.

LostPotato8d ago

Doubt it'll ever get redemption. As many developers have said in various interviews it's beyond saving.

Just release the mod tools and expansion and move on.

Profchaos7d ago

Cyberpunk 2077 had some strong bones i disliked it on launch because I could see the potential I could see the strengths of what they wanted to achieve but it wasn't done yet

They didn't get the memo the game is dead and the Bethesdabots only want magic and fantasy.

Boy_the_CowRoy7d ago

Starfield fans? The game only has 9 thousand current players, worldwide! As a company you cannot waste time on creating "Major features", it is simply not profitable. Just move on.
