There is a lot of chatter here about how Xbox One has a limited number of AAAE titles, at least compared to PS4. Many people here paint that as a bad thing for Xbox One, but I am beginning to think that less is actually more.

For example, I have a busy life, so I don't have 5-6 hours a day to game, so for me, having a more compact, robust selection of games makes sense for me. I don't get the feeling of being overwhelmed by titles that I must play. Xbox One offers a superior online service, a better controller, and a superior UI than PS4, so it essentially balances out.

What are your thoughts? Is it sometimes better to have superior hardware, with a more compact selection of games?

Holy shit. This is hilarious. You're actively arguing for less games because you personally have less time. I think we've sunk to a new low here in System Wars.

I think the bigger the offer the better. But of course anyone owning a Xbox has enough games to play. Outside the senseless system wars debate only an insane person would say that a system with hundreds of games has no games.

Wow, lemmings are sure reaching these days. I guess the lack of exclusive games has made them somewhat delusional.

You should probably stay away from the New Post button for a while after this. Rethink some life decisions. Read a book. Learn how to crochet or something productive.

I guess I'll feed the troll.....

Just because you don't have enough time to play all those great PS4 games doesn't mean other people don't.

And if you wait to buy/play games you'll have something in the future to look forward to.

There's no such thing as not having enough games available on the block.

You either run the day or the day runs you! Simple as that.

If you have limited time, why not play an 8 or 9/10 like yakuza 0 or horizon zero dawn and not a 6/10 like quantum break?

I'm the only one vouching for the games like the king of fighters xiv, world of final fantasy, and alienation and I've played them all.

Persona 5 was certainly bought by a shit ton of people.

Yakuza 0 I certainly own and it's the best yakuza selling wise in the west.

Gravity Rush 2 was bought by a decent amount of people

Horizon Zero Dawn sold like hotcakes.

etc etc

Bloodborne also 9/10'd here.

Just because you have multiple titles available does not mean you have to play all those titles. A console having more options means you will have a greater chance of finding something that you will really enjoy during your limited amount of playtime.

You're not doing any favors to your console of choice by advocating for less options.

@harnessthepower:

Better controller is something completely devatable,so is better UI and what clearly the xbox one doesnt have is better games.

So your excuse of lack of time mean total crap there is a bigger selection of game and better games on ps4.

@harnessthepower: Dude, no joke, you make some of the saddest threads I've ever seen. It's just one after another, and every one of them slanted against Sony in the most transparent way possible. A "compact, robust selection"? Are you serious? Call it what it is, be honest: an extremely anemic library of 'exclusives'. That is what the XB1 has, that is what the Scorpio will have. Little to no exclusives.

Oh, man. This is rich. What next, it is a good thing that MS is being outsold this gen 2:1 (or worse) by Sony because you don't have to feel the pressure of a tight race?

Just give it up, already. This is becoming beyond ridiculous.

No one should ever game on PC then, because there's too much of a selection?

Or wait, services...

That logic makes no sense, more games = more choice.

Otherwise you end up in a WiiU situation where unless you like every single exclusive Nintendo make you will be sat with a dust collector.

Also superior UI? lol Xbox One is one of the most atrocious UIs I have ever seen, it is original Windows 8 bad. The latest update has made it worse; home button = side pop up, what the ****?
