Xbox throws serious shade at PlayStation's new game announcements

Xbox throws some serious shade at PlayStation’s new game announcements during this week’s Showcase event.

While this week’s PlayStation Showcase event was a reasonably good showing with announcements such as the Metal Gear Solid 3 remake, not to mention the first gameplay reveals for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, Assassin’s Creed Mirage, Alan Wake II and Dragon’s Dogma II, it was certainly short of major exclusives.

Out of all the games featured during the show, the following titles are PlayStation console exclusives with some likely being timed exclusives the PC arrivals:

• Beat Sabre and Queen - DLC (PSVR2)
• Concord (PS5/PS4)
• Fairgame$ (PC/PS5)

Don’t get us wrong, we enjoyed last night’s PlayStation Showcase, however, a few more exclusives such as Death Stranding 2, Marvel’s Wolverine, Silent Hill 2 remake as well as Naughty Dog’s The Last of Us multiplayer game would have helped to beef up Sony’s prowess.
