So Who Won?
Which Console Won Q1 2018?
2018 so far does look as though it may yet match the lofty heights of last year in the video games industry. We’ve had plenty to enjoy, and there’s even more to look forward to. But if we were to pick a favorite this early in the race, we’d absolutely go with Sony’s PS4.
There’s just no substitute for great games, and Sony continues to secure exclusive rights to outstanding gaming experiences like Ni No Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom. Playing on nostalgia is undoubtedly also working well for the company, as well thought-out and superbly executed remakes like Shadow of the Colossus have raised the standard in terms of what gamers can expect from rereleased classics. And now that Sony is starting to deliver on improving its user experience with better quality freebie games via its online service, the company looks even more solidified in its number one spot.
As for Microsoft and Nintendo, it’s clear that the Big N is still very much on a roll right now, even if the software output has temporarily dried up a little in 2018. While it hasn’t had a major release like Sea of Thieves, the momentum is still with the impressive little hybrid, where the Xbox One still hasn’t hit the exclusive home run that it desperately needs.
