Yea I'd say this tracks. BG3 has been an ongoing weekend co-op project. FF7 Rebirth I got for Christmas. Yakuza is Yakuza
Alas, my attempts to get stuck into both Elden Ring and Balatro didn't pan out too much
I expect next year will have higher numbers as I drop Xbox

Alright so Earthbound
I get it
Biggest fight in the game was managing the tiny inventory, and the difficulty balancing is all over the place but, I get it. The writing, the ending, the unique combat and gameplay mechanics, the absurdity of it all. This is absolutely a special game

QTP with your favorite Main Protagonist in a video game that's NOT Mario nor Sonic
I agree with the idea of not trying to choose one lol
I'm choosing to interpret "not Mario nor Sonic" as anyone from those series, otherwise Luigi or Bowser easily makes it

Valid contenders for me include DK Bananza, Split Fiction, and Pirate Yakuza. But I ultimately have to give it to Silksong
Not only did I adore it at least as much as the others, there's what it represents. An indie studio bowing to nobody allowed to make exactly what they wanted, sold for $20

That's just a very funny sentiment to me
Every Xbox Game Studios release on PS or Switch consoles, discounting ones that were obviously going to be multiplat from the start (Call of Duty, Doom, Diablo, Tony Hawk, etc.)

Only marginally related, I'd also say it's easier, for me at least, to think of major series that got exclusive PS4/XB1 releases that still haven't got a PS5/Series release, than the other way around, tho obviously this doesn't take into account IP that started on new hardware, or smaller IP

Shown here is a similar chart for other "AAA" series I could think of that relatively consistently has one or two major releases per console, and as we see here, the results are similar, with over half of IP taking longer to come to PS5 than they did with PS4.

As you can see, in the majority of cases, IP stayed crossgen (releasing on both PS4 and PS5) longer than they did for PS3 and PS4, sometimes quite drastically so. Just Dance is a *fascinating* exception, likely tied to that series greater success on Nintendo hardware in comparison.

Look, I respect that his opinion is likely more valid than mine actually being in the industry, this?
Game companies have shown time and time again that they will do ANYTHING to pinch that last dime from your wallet and couldn't care less about staff. Sorry, that blind optimism just isn't it
