Just as the last 5 – 10 years you’ve been criticizing Xbox for putting too much emphasis on exclusives over power, declaring Playstation the superior console because graphics and power are more important than exclusives – the MOMENT Xbox’s number of exclusives dips below Playstation and they announce a new Xbox more powerful than Playstation, suddenly it’s all about exclusives and graphics and power don’t matter.

Video game journalism, ladies and gentlemen.

Well… At least Most of Xbox exclusives have some sort of co-op. Crackdown, sea of thieves and state of decay 2 will feature co-op campaign for up to four players.. After those games release, who knows what other game will be announced.

I won’t hold my breath anymore

As we sit here today theres not even much to justify it in 2018. The state of games on Xbox is really bad. Though id argue the state of games in general isnt great.

err no. sony are the greatest before and after xbox tried leeching off the industry and almost sucking it dry with their depression. don’t care about you dumb nerd wars between nvidia. pc sucks and needs to die also

Sigh…Co-op. One of the reasons I played Destiny and finally got a One S late last year (still hate the junk) but at least I could do co-op even if it was on 360 compat games. :/

I know, but in the end of the day, even if Sony has more exclusives it doesn’t matter to me, cause I would only play nioh and bloodborne. I like co-op, so Sony is not a company that focuses on that.

I’m concerned about Xbox because the lack of exclusives, regardless of how much Sony’s exclusives have. I mean, even if Sony didn’t exist I would be worried

Gamers lose when companies die out. The winner charges more and refuses to innovate as they ‘costs profits’. 🙁
Just look at Intel vs AMD. Suddenly Intel is producing huge multi-core CPU’s and making tons of improvements that they were seemingly unable to do for the last 5 years. Why…because they can get more money by extending inferior lines of products. Just like APPLE and their iPhones.

You will be wrong and I’m not happy about that. Gamers win when there is more choice and competition.
Unfortunately, there is nothing game wise for Xbox on the horizon (no pun intended). I’m looking forward to Metro Exodus….that’s it on Xbox. There is nothing else. I’m not into sports or racing. WWII COD might be cool but I’d rather play destiny and its just as locked down on the Xbox X as it is on the Pro. The devs just don’t have the money to use all the more powerful features. Keeping in mind they will use enough on the X to at least make it run well.

I’m all for the new Xbox X (also have a Pro & PS4).
I would suggest people stop using racing games as a way to ‘showcase’ the X. It is pretty game but a bad example of system use.

Racing games are glorified tunnels with paintings on the walls.

That’s like telling people you have a ton of graphics horsepower/potential because the fps shooter you’re in takes place in tiny snake like underground tunnels the entire game

Xbox X needs a game like Horizon or at least like Uncharted to get some kind of glimpse of the tech behind the scenes. Keeping in mind they will need a very up to date game engine combined with an excellent studio to pull it off. As the best in the industry, Guerrilla Games and Naughty Dog work for Sony that only leaves potentials like Bungie or The Coalition. I have zero confidence in either of those for different reasons.

On top of that, that game experience requires some restrictions to anything made for the X as it also must be playable on the One/S. Can you see an open world state of the art game (like Horizon) amped up even more on the X. It would be eye boggling great….and yet that same game has to run 100% compatible on the One/S. Think 720fps/30fps with a LOT of fog to mask distance.
