3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

Here are the trends with previous consoles:

PS1 : 455 -> PS2 : 512 -> PS3 : 180 -> PS4 : 58 -> PS5 : 15

Xbox : 106 -> Xbox 360 : 214 -> Xbox One : 12

Nintendo 64 : 129 -> Nintendo Wii : 328 -> Nintendo Wii U : 38 -> Nintendo Switch : 174

And that’s why the newest console I own is a Switch, and everything else I play is on PC.

I’ve even moved all my Switch playing to PC hahaha

That's super interesting. Do you have a source you could link for this data?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago

I just referenced the data in the wikipedia container article here for some select consoles.

They’re a gamer what other credentials do you need?

Now do the same for PC

The source notes that for Mac there have been 2 exclusive games across all versions, and for Windows, there have been about 2560 across all versions. There doesn't appear to be a listing for Linux unfortunately.

So the Xbox one series (aka Xbox one 2) has zero dedicated games?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

It depends on how the source categorized the information and how Microsoft classifies the Xbox One versus the Xbox One Series (whether as being two actual different consoles, or two versions of the same console.)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category%3ASingle-platform_video_games

There is only one entry for anything related to Xbox One as far as I can see so I expect the 12 it notes are distributed across all versions of the Xbox One, or that there are 0 dedicated games for the Xbox One Series proper.

where is the GameCube or xbox series?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

I don't think Xbox Series has exclusives. All of their stuff is on PC afaik.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

There is no listing in the source for Xbox Series, however Gamecube shows 80 exclusive titles.
