PS4 vs. Xbox One vs. Switch: Best Exclusives in Q4 2018
Who Wins?
As nice as it is to see Sony’s PSVR finally supported with two must-play titles, there’s just no way we can overlook the Switch’s strong end to the year. The double-whammy of Pokemon and Smash Bros. in quick succession closed the book on 2018 in the perfect way, and so it easily rises to the top of the pile for Q4.
We can’t imagine there will be too many out there willing to disagree with that take, and if the Switch’s 2019 comes to fruition in the way we think it might, its rival consoles might have to get used to playing second fiddle for a while.
Nintendo’s hardware is really finding its stride, just as PS4 and Xbox One begin to wind down for the generation.
Still, whether titles like the mainline Pokemon title and upcoming Metroid 4 Prime actually launch in 2019 remains to be seen. Certainly, if they do, and sit beside other strong games in the confirmed line-up, such as Animal Crossing, Fire Emblem, and Yoshi’s World games, Switch is going to be a real force to be reckoned with.
