You can have all the power you can get, but at the end of the day what sells consoles is EXCLUSIVES, this gen and next gen sony will be the only home console to have true EXCLUSIVES, pc and xbox players will really be port begging next gen. Switch is not a dedicated home console, their handheld 360p kiddie ports dont appeal to me.

neutralgamer19921594d ago

It's not complicated Sony and Nintendo do well because they give gamers a reason to buy their hardware. Exclusives help sell consoles which in return help sell mora games

Elda1594d ago

True. The very reason why I own a PS4 Pro is because of their exclusives on the other hand personally for me most of Nintendo exclusive offerings are just not that interesting though I do think the Switch is a cute piece of technology.

@neutral
And not just at the beginning when they launch their consoles.

CaptainHenry9161594d ago

I wouldn't put PC in the same category as a console

Tross1594d ago

Perhaps not, but its long list of exclusives is a big reason why I have one. Well, that and there are games that are either cheaper and/or play better on PC. I guess I'm a different platforms for different things kind of guy. Exclusives do move systems though.

CaptainHenry9161594d ago

I agree with you. I'm actually a PC gamer first as well but I do have a PS4 just to play Sony exclusives.

Some exclusives on Switch are miles better than some PS exclusives

Outlawzz1594d ago

It just depends on wt your game preferences are. Its a losing argument to try to say that on a mainly Sony fan site tho.

@Silly gameAr

Depends...

I'd say Nintendo has the upper hand when it comes creating online games, despite being incapable of making a modernized service, like Splatoon 2, ARMS, and MM2. I think they also offer a much larger library of gameplay focussed games which, if your thing, can be considered an advantage.

With Sony I'd say they excel in 3rd person action-adventure/role-playing games. God of War, Marvels Spider-man, and HZ:D being good examples of solid games on the platform. They tend to do a good job of intertwining a narrative with their games, so that can be considered an advantage.

It's really not difficult to find reasons why you could like one systems games over another.

TK-661593d ago

But you'll eat those home console 480p ports right up.

Without a doubt, Sony's PS4 has excellent high profile games to close their cycle. I'm sure TLoU2, FF 7 Remake, Ghost of Tsushima will provide the expected quality. In my opinion I think Nintendo has proven themselves to turn this generation in their favor bringing a portable versatile device. They are doing great and their exclusive performance is extraordinary. I don't factor out Nintendo in the industry and their importance in the video game industry.

I'm sure the next generation will be very interesting for Nintendo and of course Sony. I hope these games delivers more than we expect.

neutralgamer19921594d ago (Edited 1594d ago )

I think a future releases of FF7 remake will be 1 year timed exclusive so sony has something big lean on moving forward

Dovergamer1593d ago

Sony has their proprietary developers for their exclusives. Insomniac, Santa Monica, Guerrilla Games, Sucker Punch, Fromsoft among many others that provides exclusive titles.

GOULDYBOBS1594d ago

FF7 is a timed exclusive and this sort of practice should not be lauded. Certainly not "for the players"

AspiringProGenji1594d ago

Where’s the source where Sony did in fact pay for it?

neutralgamer19921594d ago

It doesn't matter bigger point is Sony is the reason we are getting this remake to begin with. Publishers sign these deals to get huge sum of money upfront to cover cost of development. Exclusives sell and FF7 remake is such a huge game that most who will want to play won't wait a year so Sony has done smart business wise. Exclusives sell consoles and if you can give consumers reason to buy your console in its last years that's potential new customers as Ps5 launches

@Shag that deal almost killed Tomb raider that's why they got roasted.

AspiringProGenji1594d ago (Edited 1594d ago )

MS also paid to keeP Titanfall Exclusive and the fanboys were okay with it and trolling the PS4. EA made the announcement and even said without this deal the game wouldn’t exist

MS also announced the deal with RoTR themselves

When has Sony or Squenix ever said Sony payed for FF VII exclusivity?

Are you sure without Sony that remake would be happening?

“Competition is great for the consumer”..
You think Microsoft still does not do said things?
They have done it since the launch of the Xbox 360 .. and it worked back then..
With titles like gears of war 1-3, mass effect, gta additional content, titanfall, tomb raider, dead rising, left 4 dead, and all the timed exclusive content not to mention the many smaller independent games Microsoft got 1 year exclusives on this gen.

This is the “competition” many defend.
If Sony did not get on board, Microsoft would have strong armed all of gaming by doing what they do best.. monopolizing.

Imalwaysright1593d ago (Edited 1593d ago )

"This is the “competition” many defend." Who? Sony fanboys? Sony has been doing this since the PS1 days, years before MS entered the console market and here's proof of it http://www.core-design.com/...

"If Sony did not get on board, Microsoft would have strong armed all of gaming by doing what they do best.. monopolizing." Absolutely hilarious not just because of what I said above but also because Sony was the only company to practically have the monopoly of the console market with the PS2 wich sold 3 times more than all the consoles of the same generation combined.

GOULDYBOBS1593d ago

Timed exclusives on ALL platforms is a disgrace

I'll be buying 6 out of 7,I'm not into VR so Ironman is excluded.

monkey6021594d ago

Dreams really needs to be included in the list.
Otherwise it's a seriously good list of games to be excited about. 2020 is a great year for playstation exclusives

Persona 5 Royal is my top 10 game of all time. A true masterpiece.

Barlos2d ago

Same here. Not only is it one of my favourite RPGs, it's also one of my favourite ever games. I keep coming back to it time and time again.

DustMan1d 23h ago

Why not read one of the reviews and find out?

CrimsonWing692d ago

4.8? This game is literally one of the best modern JRPGs. I’d give it the perfect score.

The way it was handled was so dumb. One shots in melee...your teammates are to ostupid to get away from its attack. So you most often end up alone in a certain fight.

Hofstaderman9d ago

Two words, one accessory....Safety Bit

MeteorPanda9d ago

Needing an accessory to keep a.i from dying and only one of them isnt great.

Persona: How A Spin-Off Game Series Can Ruin The Original

"Newer Persona games dive into the simulation of a high school student at the cost of RPG mechanics compared to Shin Megami Tensei." - Najam from eXputer.

DrDoomer24d ago

Persona (particularly 3,4 and 5) is the best thing to come out of Atlus, by far. The only way other games get ruined is by paling in comparison.

gold_drake23d ago (Edited 23d ago )

thats a hot take if ive ever seen one.

atlus aint just persona.

they have plenty of games that are fantastic that are not persona.

maybe in sales sure but not in quality.

DrDoomer23d ago

Not saying those games are bad. I'm saying Persona is just that good.

Tapani14d ago

I enjoy the SMT core series much more vs the Persona series. I like how it is much darker and more hardcore as an RPG. I've played all of them through and they never disappoint.

Stopac24d ago

That's a bad take.

SMT had a niche following. So did persona. They redid persona starting with three to reach an wider audience. Nothing happened with the original SMT and have stayed the way they were. If they were to revamp that main series you could get what happened with soul hackers lol. You want that?

Barlos23d ago (Edited 23d ago )

A spin off is a spin off. Why would they ruin the original? If you like the original then that's great, you can carry on enjoying it. If the spin off is crap it has no impact on the original at all.

I love Persona 5 and P5R but I have zero interest in Strikers or Tactica but even if I played them and didn't like them they wouldn't ruin the original games for me.

Same goes for if you like the SMT games but don't like Persona, why would that suddenly make SMT bad?
