Lol.. If Titanfall is not a system seller then i have bad news for you.. No games announced right now are system sellers then.. Titanfall is the closest of a system seller we have currently have...and no, Infamous, the order and destiny are not system sellers... Maybe halo 5 :-p


Disagree destiny will move way more consoles. Titanfall will not be a system seller. The term system seller is a fallacy, libraries sell systems not one game. Small spike then back to normal levels.

 

MP only will limit this games appeal as will it being on 360.

lol

Pretty sure thats a contradiction.

Nope there are people that think it will make x1 go on a rampage fot the rest of the year when it launches. It's not going to have the effect many here are predicting. All game sell system to some or another, heck half of OS sports is getting ps4 for when mlb the show drops is that a system seller to? By that definition it is (I know a few who got a ps3 just for the show).

By your logic destiny should not be  a sytem seller.. It is on current gen.. You are delusional

Thats not what I said..........Read again. I am saying it is not going to be a system seller like some people are predicting.  Some are expecting x1 sales to get massivelly bigger for the year because of this new game...it's not going to happen.

Who has said that... in those exact terms.  show me.

It will cause a spike that falls away over a short number of weeks.  Thats what a sytem seller does.

For your last point... there are varying levels of system seller, yes.

Its silly to say there are no system sellers... they exist, especially in the early life of a console. The effect obviously reduces massively as a gen progresses, they then become a trigger to buy rather than the sole reason to purchase.

 

 

 

Toasboy thread, numerous other posters have. In that case mlb the show and infamous will be system sellers too. $500 price tag and it being on 360 is not helping x1.



Actually, I have a few buddies that are waiting for Titanfall before purchasing X1. Their not interested in the current library available.

Yes, the game will help move units, I just don't think it's going to be a whole lot of them.

Then why did so many people buy cross-gen titles on the PS4 and Xone? If your logic holds, then the exclusives on both would've vastly outsold the likes of CoD or Fifa. Instead, the usual suspects ended up being at the top of the charts.

The Xone is the lead platform for the title, and is front and center in EA and MS's promotion efforts. Given how much hype it's been getting, there's no way it won't help push consoles.

gigantor makes a really good point. So many of the PS4 and X1 launch games were available elsewhere, yet they sold very well on 8th gen systems. Having the game available on PC and 360 will hurt sales somewhat (personally, I plan to play the game on 360), but I think the advertising campaign and hype, as gigantor wrote, will focus on the X1 version.

No. you said "system seller is a fallacy", you said they dont exist. now you are saying they do exist.

make your mind up.

In the context of what some people think is a system seller no they do not exist no one game helps to sustain a consoes sales.  We get small spikes in a vacuumn. The term system seller is over blown like many things, like the word overrated for instance. Libraries sell systems.

But by your definition then mlb the show and infamous are system sellers.

link please to the exact posts.



Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

I think it would move some systems but In the end, its third party games like Call of duty America/FIFA europe that would move more nextgen consoles this year. Just watch how much sales will increase when those games release this year.

Yep, MLB the show is awesome, I love that game. And I know quite a few people that do also.

But infamous? I'm not too interested in it.  Never really dug the franchise much.
