The best of the rest

So, there you have it. Neither console can boast quite the bonanza of true exclusives as you might expect. In truth, the game line-ups of both machines are very, very similar. We deliberately didnt include the likes of Mirrors Edge 2 or The Division because they werent shown at either Microsoft or Sonys conferences. However, the quality of games coming to both machines is seriously high, so the player--no matter what format they choose--is the winner here.
