By livefromkyoto Go To PostAfter looking at that most played games image above, I'm kind of puzzled as to why anybody gets anything for Xbox. Like, does it just boil down to some combination of: I like the controller/this is the American one/it's got my friends list from the 360 days?Controller is much better.
Not even trolling, this apprars to be a 100% legitimate question. Because it doesn't seem to be the actual software.
Halo, and friends have it because Halo.
I don't care about PS4 exclusives other than bloodborne (tbf if i researched them more i might). I have a PS4 but havent turned it on in months.
I play most everything on PC so i shouldn't answer this.
The top games bought in Nov on PS were
1 Call of Duty: WWII
2 Star Wars Battlefront II
3 Horizon Zero Dawn
4 Need for Speed Payback
5 Assassin’s Creed Origins
6 FIFA 18
7 Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege
8 Madden NFL 18
9 Grand Theft Auto V
10 NBA 2K18
There's Horizon and that's most likely because of the complete game with the expansion. It's damn near a mirror of the Xbox list so....?

What?
What does that have to do with the two lists BEING ALMOST IDENTICAL? Where are all of these exclusives that PS4 has? Over time people play the same games on both systems. You play Destiny 2 all the time on PS4. It's in the top 5 on xbox, so what's the difference?
Nobody denies that MS needs more exclusives, but I don't get what that has to do with the similar top games being bought/played on both systems.
By Smokey Go To PostThe PlayStation list probably looks exactly like that or pretty close to it. Do you think the top 10 played on PS is exclusives or something ? Because if so lol
Nobody is still playing Gravity Rush 2 . Or Nioh. It's all MP games.
I'm not even saying this is wrong, a huge number of people are only in this thing for GTA/CoD/BF/2K/Teh Madden. Just wondering what's driving people to play those games on Xbox when the PS4 has the same games with better visuals, more players and generally access to more stuff.

No, this is probably exactly the answer for a lot of people. This and more aggressive price cuts/bundles on the Xbox side.
that controller is atrocious for fighting games
you could play on both with a lot of games, but nobody is telling their friends to hop on board for halo or gears anymore. sunset overdrive and quantum break really ain't having that conversation
By Smokey Go To PostWhat?my friends list has migrated over years, that's the thing

Why do people choose Android over IOS?
-Friends
-Controller is superior.
-Play Anywhere Initiative. Buy once, have access to PC and Xbox version.
-Game Pass
-Digital Game sharing
-EA Access for discounts and early access to titles.
-MS far more active stance on supporting your old catalog of 360/Xbox games
There's a bunch of stuff in the ecosystem that is worth it for some people.
Exclusives drive the conversation on message boards. People generally play the same things on both platforms and you go where your friends are.
Your view on this is so North America centric though
None of those things hold up across the globe, especially the "friends" argument.

Me, I was stupid to sell my Tekken 6 fight stick with my PS3. Never thought they'd do forward compatibility.

Well, that does explain why nobody cares in those regions. I was asking about the people who do buy it.

I'm in North America
Yall shit on Xbox all the time, but the stuff I listed above, people I know use a lot of that, including those who have a Pro and Xbox.
By Smokey Go To PostI'm in North AmericaNeat!
By livefromkyoto Go To PostWell, that does explain why nobody cares in those regions. I was asking about the people who do buy it.
You were insinuating that the Xbox top games were generic stuff, which is true to an extent, but...so is PS lol.
So it comes down to stuff I listed on Xbox side which is more service based, and those exclusives on Sony side. And where your friends are.
By livefromkyoto Go To PostWho plays fighters on a pad though?i learned how to play over guilty gear and mvc 3 on pad
Me, I was stupid to sell my Tekken 6 fight stick with my PS3. Never thought they'd do forward compatibility.
also why i cannot hold a football
Well the North American thing is true enough, Xbox is made for the US. Which is why it'll never be big in Japan or Yurop.
Majority of the features don't hold up. Maybe in the UK, but that's about it.
And the exclusives catalog is pretty much US centric. Gears, Halo, that kinda stuff. Europe doesn't like that shit that much. They have Forza, but Europe likes Gran Turismo. Forza devs don't understand the hard-on that Southern Europeans have for buying their shitty real-life car and then upgrading it to the point of beating Ferraris in straight lines.

By Smokey Go To PostThey got some serious work to do. This is like CS on Xbox or BF on PC around BF3 time vs PC versions. This isn't at all representative of the actual game on PC.On a somewhat related note my like 13 year old cousin is primarily a PC gamer on an ancient laptop not made for PC gaming. He plays dota 2 at like 15 FPS lol. So hey it might be playable to people.
whew it's about to get uninstalled. Gun battles are hilarious. Lag is terrible. The FRAME RATE.
By Smokey Go To PostYou were insinuating that the Xbox top games were generic stuff, which is true to an extent, but…
In that post, I really wasn't. It was just that that most-played list begged the question of why people would be playing that system if the main software draw appeared to be multi-plats. I think the question's been pretty well answered.
so is PS lol.
I'd disagree on that front, just because it's not the first-party exclusives that attract me there; they get a fair number of de facto Japanese console exclusives, many of which are anything but generic.
Just had a 1v5 turn into playing cat and mouse with a Caveira on House. It went on for pretty much a whole 3 minutes of chasing that sppoky bitch around that damn house.
I feel like I should throw some Benny Hill on it and bang it on Reddit for views and $$$.

I do love that every few pages this turns into Xbox v PS4 with only Smokey batting for the Xbox team.
By Smokey Go To PostThe PlayStation list probably looks exactly like that or pretty close to it. Do you think the top 10 played on PS is exclusives or something ? Because if so lolPlaystation list probably looks the same but the majority of exclusives are primarily, or only single player, being that multiplayer usually dominates top played lists outside of launch day, it makes sense. Not like 40k people are gonna be playing Horizon at this point
Nobody is still playing Gravity Rush 2 . Or Nioh. It's all MP games.
However when three of your flagship franchises are multiplayer first and only one is in the top 50, there’s a problem.

Right so again, majority of the time, people are playing the same games on both systems. Xbox has the better controller and better online service. These are facts. Some people prefer those things. Halo 5 is also 2+ years old. Not my fault people want to move towards garbage MOBAs or Hero FPS, and not appreciate it's greatness. Gears 4 is of bigger concern. When Halo 6 releases, it'll be fine.

Just shows the average gamer has trash taste across every spectrum.

predator? maybe?
That's Predator. Too many Predator things in the trailer for it not to be.
x2 is really, really fucking good

Been playing Destiny 2 with xbox controller. Definitely hurts my hand less than ps4 after a long day/night of gaming. FPS still superior on xbox far as that goes.
So Mixer debuted HyperZone with the launch of PUBG on Xbox. You stream the game and when you get close to a chicken dinner, HZ will feature your stream. Similar to how Red zone works.
https://www.onmsft.com/news/pubg-and-mixer-introduce-hypezone-follow-gamers-as-they-close-in-on-chicken-dinners
That's really a dope feature
https://www.onmsft.com/news/pubg-and-mixer-introduce-hypezone-follow-gamers-as-they-close-in-on-chicken-dinners
HypeZone switches between Mixer streamers closest to winning the coveted Chicken Dinner, hosting the streamer until they either win or die. This gives viewers the opportunity to discover streamers of all levels during the most intense moments of the game.
Whether you and your closest friends are Co-Streaming a calculated squad assault, or you’re streaming a solo run to hundreds of viewers, HypeZone knows the distance between you and some tasty chicken, plus with Hosting 2.0, we’ve made it easy to follow those featured and cheer them on. Streamers will accrue all the views associated with their time on HypeZone, along with the added surprise visit of potentially hundreds of extra viewers when being featured!

Smokey do you think if Sony dropped its entire first party studios output the gap between Microsoft would be any closer between the two in terms of hardware sales.
By Mariosalic Go To Postthe ps4 controller is much better than the Xbox controller. there, i said it.The PS4 controller is almost as good as the 360 controller. Probably better than the OG Xbox S controller that replaced the Duke, though.

Random fact but I learned that in Australia those people who upgrade their shitty cars like that are called "ricers"... it cracks me up, I don't know why, maybe because it makes me think of rice and I can't figure out for the life of me what the fuck rice would have to do with it.
