FIRST:
What is Xbox´s Wet Dream?
"In terms of the overall lineup, we want to get to a point of releasing a new game every quarter," Matt Booty, head of Xbox Game Studios, said in a recent video briefing shown to press".
My gut reaction is: No way in hell. Why? Well, because we are not talking about middle-of-the-road 70+ Meta games. We are talking at least 80+... But let's be honest here; what we really want/expect are 90+ meta, GOTY/Generation-defining games babyyy.
CONTEXT:
So, I was listening to an Xbox-centric podcast; and there were these two guys basically having an orgasm while laying out Xbox´s Master Plan for World Domination and poor PlayStation...You could say that....they are basically.... Doomed. Xbox is going to have a staggering amount of content that PlayStation is going to be crying in the corner without anything to do....cuz, they can't afford shit. Right?
AM I CRAZY?:
My skepticism doesn't come from a Console Warrior or fanboy point of view. Just from common sense watching the industry. So I decide to make a couple of dirty ass graphs:
The Y-axis is the Metascore and X-axis shows the span of time (one year) before and after the release of a very important game. The idea of these graphs is to show the amount and quality of games released in a specific amount the time. Using a highly regarded game as the middle point is just a way to try to encompass several years.
The graphs above of course are PlayStation-published Games.
And the graphs below show MS Activision and Bethesda published games.
DISCLAIMERS:
There are games that don't have Metacritic scores.
MS has some weird-ass windows irrelevant shite that nobody cares about. Sony has a bunch of games that are irrelevant to this conversation like the fucking expansions or wahtever of the harry potter´s dildo games. for example
I tried to focus on Xbox (console) release dates but honestly, is messy.
In other words: I just did this with my ass (while peeing).
CONCLUSIONS:
As we can see. Both companies technically can release a game every quarter. No big deal bro. Is about the scheduling.
The issue (as expected) has to do with the quality and cadence of those games, specailly90+ GOTYs.
So I would say that even with Activision-Blizzard and Bethesda acquisitions, Xbox will be FINALLY on par with PlayStation on quantity and quality . I can see MS publishing more 80+ games tho. While sony will have slightly better output overall regarding 90+ games. Competition is going to be fierce and better than ever bros.
