An exhaustive list of games coming out in 2017 and 2018, which has all the games compatible to PS4, PS3, Xbox One, Wii U enlisted in it. Going by this list of upcoming games, there is no questioning the fact that the next two years will be memorable for all ardent fans of gaming out there.
Over the last couple of years, the war of gaming consoles has been dominated by Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo with their respective 7th generation consoles, i.e., the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and Wii. Now these companies have launched their 8th generation gaming consoles, i.e., the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Wii U, and that has made the battle between these three all the more intense. With all these consoles having similar features―from an amateur gaming enthusiast’s point-of-view―a lot boils down to the exclusive game titles that these consoles have to offer.
While some games are compatible to all the three consoles, others are ‘Console Exclusive’, i.e., they are compatible to one particular console. A console which has more exclusive games obviously has a slight edge in this three-way battle. If the list of upcoming games is to go by, it becomes obvious that the manufacturers are well aware of the importance of console exclusivity, and are using it to woo end users to their camp.
