Microsoft Corporation’s (NASDAQ:MSFT) Xbox One fans love to boast that their console has the better lineup of exclusives than Sony Corp.’s (ADR) (NYSE:SNE) PlayStation 4 (PS4), but the latter already has an ace up its sleeve. The PS4 has an edge over the Xbox One simply due to its dominance on multiplatform titles.
A glance at VGChartz will tell you that most multiplatform games have done well on the PS4 compared to the Xbox One. Grand Theft Auto V, Batman: Arkham Knight, and The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt all sold better on PS4 than its rival platform. One does need to realize that multiplatform titles are usually excellent games and despite Xbox One theoretically offering more, Sony’s latest gaming console outsells it left, right, and center.
It was in its first year that PS4 sales grew on the strength of AAA multiplatform titles and never dropped. The list of exclusives on Sony’s platform grows slowly; it is hardly close to what Xbox One offers, which shows that most gamers prefer PS4 mostly because of its history. As the original PlayStation celebrates its 20th anniversary this year, gamers realize that Sony has established a firm ground in console gaming. Two decades of greatness is enough for gamers to put their faith in Sony’s platform. The design choices on PS4 are quite stylish and the sleek console looks great in any media center. Primarily, it has been designed for games, and the other entertainment features come next. The Xbox One is the jack of all trades and that was its original selling point, but gamers didn’t care.
Since the brand identity has been established, gamers have flocked to PS4, and have made it their primary choice for multiplatform titles.
