8 Reasons The Xbox One Will Dominate The PS4 In 2016
7. The Biggest-Hitting Exclusives Are Still To Come
The PlayStation 4 currently has the edge when it comes to exclusives. Well, describing its advantage as an 'edge' is maybe being generous to the Xbox One, considering that it only has 122 exclusives games out, compared to to the PS4's 229. But the PS4 has already played some of its big 'exclusive' cards with games like Bloodborne, the disappointing Order: 1886 and remasters of its greatest PS3 exclusives. Sure, the PS4 still has the likes of Uncharted 4 and The Last Guardian in its 2016 line-up, but the Xbox One has new entries in the big-hitting Halo, Fable and Gears of War series still to come - titles that are in themselves totally capable of selling consoles. Then there are several new IPs exclusive to the Xbox One that are showing a ton of potential. Quantum Break, from the makers of Max Payne and Alan Wake, looks extremely promising - and will somehow be designed to run alongside and interact with a live-action TV show that's current being made. Then there is Scalebound, the fantasy action game from Platinum Games (Bayonetta 2, Metal Gear Solid: Revengeance) that you'll be able to play alongside three friends. Weird dubsteppy combat music aside, it looks extremely promising.
