Console Wars: Who Has the Best Exclusive Lineup for 2015?

Competition is great for the industry. It spurs creativity and innovation, ultimately benefiting the consumer. That's why I love the bitter rivalries between the three major platform holders. Sure, Nintendo has distanced itself from Sony and Microsoft over the past several years, but the Big N is still fighting for gamers' dollars and time regardless.

Each home console has its legion of loyal fans who rally around their hardware of choice and its lineup of exclusive games. The reality is that gaming is expensive and gamers have only so much time and money to dedicate to the hobby, so not everyone has the luxury of being a Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo gamer simultaneously.

If you've been on the fence and still have yet to pick up a "new-gen" console, you're likely going to decide which platform to get based on the exclusive titles that can only be played on that particular machine. As such, we here at GameRevolution have taken it upon ourselves to go through the exclusive lineups of PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Wii U and present to you the ten most promising games confirmed for release in 2015 that can only be found on each particular platform. So, without further ado, let's start with Sony.

Verdict?

Honestly, I can't decide which console's game lineup I'm most excited for in 2015. Each of the Big 3 has its heavy hitters—those being HaloUncharted, and Zelda, of course—as well as smaller titles that show a lot of promise.

We'll have to wait until the year is over before we can definitively crown a winner. Still, it's fun to speculate, so be sure to sound off in the comments below and let us know which lineup of platform exclusives has you most excited.
