For me the Sony press conference, contrary to what PushSquare said in their own review, was a little underwhelming.
People are complaining that MS presented mostly remakes and point out bad that is, then behold, the first words out of their textual mouths is PS4 remakes (FF7, Black Ops 3, Uncharted 4, etc). Uncharted 4 Black Ops3 is only a timed exclusive, and looks very last gen for a next-gen game.
For me, its too little too late. MS has had way more exclusives for years, and I really don't care about everything looking insanely amazing when those wasted resources could go in to making the gameplay better.
No man's sky looks amazing, but its taking so long to finish that other games are catching up to it FAST. If you're not on the PC scene, check out Empyrion and Space Engineers. Both are aiming for the exact same type of game (SE was started long before NMS). SE is coming to Xbox early next year. Empyrion may come out to all consoles, since its built on Unity engine.
Sadly, I'm stuck with a PS4 and very few exclusives to play. The rest I can get on PC/steam much cheaper anyway, and quite often, better graphics than either console as an added bonus. Before anyone plays the "but PC costs more to build" card, that may have been true a decade ago. But over the last 10 year, building a PC that matches console performance (and quite often beats it) is generally cheaper than either console if you build them yourself, and have a much longer shelf life. I bought a AMD HD4850 back in 2009 for example, it still players all of the modern games I throw at it like BF4, Ark: Survival evolved (insane graphics on this), SE, Project Spark, FF XIV online (MMO FF game), just off the top of my head.

@BloodyBill I'm guessing you missed the part where Phil said "your entire Xbox 360 game collection natively".
It means every game 360 ever had.
