Now at the wake of completion of the second year of this gen- PS4 and XB1 has no games which can be recommended to people willing to buy either of consoles. The scebario so far:

1.Sony-Killzone:SF while good not great, Infamous;SS came close to greatness yet hard pressed to call it a console seller: Bloodborne had potential, but to be true system seller it had to be closer to God of War, not the in hard nut Dark Souls mold. Order 1886 had everything, yet no gameplay! And no, HD re-masters don't count-true videogames afficiando either already played or have the older system to play the classics like TLoU and GoWIII. Driveclub is fantastic and is close to a proper killer app.

2.MS-Halo MCC is a great collectors edition. But like I said being a gamer since 2001, there's nothing I missed in Halo. SRyse is MS's version of Order 1886,-great overall package, but lacking addictive gameplay. Sunset overdrive and Forza can be the best bets MS have at the moment.

And no Titanfall, Destiny and Witcher 3 does not count,

Bleak scenario, ain't it? After investing sizeably in these consoles, anyone else feeling the need of oxygen (read killer apps) for PS4 and XB1??

I like how you tried to dismiss all Sony titles but list Halo MCC (6.0) as great in your description you even said Ryse was a "great" overall package...but Infamous SS only came close to greatness?

Sorry bud Bloodborne is a reason to buy PS4 and has seen steady sales by new owners of the PS4 since launch. Oh and it's also the only AAA exclusive between the systems on MC but again it didn't count as great game in your OP lol.

I was prepared to agree on your notion about the systems but after reading you OP I've concluded that you're just a dissatisfied xbox fan and doesn't have a objective opinion on the games he's talking about.

2/10 would not fap

@kinectthedots: the campaign of halo was amazing , but the online was horribly broken, and it's still only 95% fixed, reflecting on the review. infamous however felt like a graphical powerhouse that focused less on gameplay. and you're right about bloodborne and ryse.

Didn't even bother buying a console this gen saw too many business decisions that didn't jive with me the and I said **** that. But I'd take most sony first party tittles over a Microsoft one. The just make a wide variety of types and they span all genre's. And as much as some of their shit gets linear hate, they still do a much better job of telling stories then anything I've seen come out of Microsoft in the last 5 years. Not to mention there is all ways a whack load more Sony first party tittles then there are Microsoft first party tittles.

About the only app I use on my Sony and MS consoles is Netflix. Hulu plus if I get offered a free month.

My Playstation is a Netflix/ESO/Rocket League machine, and limited only to that.

@kinectthedots: I personally liked Bloodborne a lot, but that difficulty in progressing did not leave many of my pal (who are deciding between two consoles) marking the game as a desirable title. I mean a game they would buy a console for. Atleast Halo is a much accessible game for many and that can actually be a sweet spot for getting the XB1. Same goes for Gears of War and God of War III remastered.

But for more serious followers of gaming- both sides are lacking justification for lack of quality titles.
