But you would shell out $560 to M$ for a new Halo game or $460 to Sony for a new Killzone game.

Umm and Destiny, Imfamous, maybe BF4, possibly Rime, PS2, Blacklight Retribution, ect. Also some games not announced from Naughty Dog and apparently a new IP from the makers of Killzone.

So you just made your original point moot. What happens 4 years from now when Nintendo releases a new must-have game. I pre-ordered a ps4 specifically for Destiny and Metal Gear Solid 5 which are both multi-platform titles. I feel that the multi-platform titles will play better this time on the ps4 as opposed to the xbox one. I didn't buy the console for the exclusives because I haven't seen any so far that are worth buying(besides maybe The Order:1886) The same applies to the xbone. That being said I may end up getting an xbox one if they announce a few more exclusives rather than a new halo game or forza. Dead Rising is only a timed exclusive for the xbox one as well meaning 3-6 months later it will be heading to the ps4 anyway. I like Nintendo exclusives though which is why I shelled out the money on launch day for my wii u. I don't see why Nintendo takes such flak from people who don't give their products a chance.

ummm usually in the cycle of Nintendo is more mario and zelda games with a few cross platform sprinkled around on it
