Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Why does Watch Dogs help PS4 but do nothing for XB1

Seriosuly what is up with that? The PS4 leaped in sales but the XB1 barely hopped. Last week sales:

PS4 122,942 (+1%) 7,877,802
3DS 80,755 (-3%) 42,966,474
PS3 41,532 (-0%) 82,021,823
XOne 41,174 (+1%) 4,486,970
WiiU 31,777 (+12%) 6,103,913
PSV 29,113 (+5%) 8,268,043
X360 24,836 (-3%) 80,802,929
PSP 10,772 (-0%) 80,601,494
Wii 8,763 (+7%) 100,661,966

This week sales:

PS4 201,630 (+64%) 8,079,432
WiiU 187,028 (+489%) 6,290,941
3DS 78,397 (-3%) 43,044,871
XOne 52,180 (+27%) 4,539,150
PS3 39,869 (-4%) 82,061,692
PSV 27,487 (-6%) 8,295,530
X360 26,078 (+5%) 80,829,007
PSP 11,003 (+2%) 80,612,497
Wii 7,681 (-12%) 100,669,647

XB1 only went up 27% while PS4 jumped 54%. And the thing is XB1 and Wii U should both be crushing PS4 because they both have better exclusives than PS4 does. Even Wii U I get not selling as much because of the huge drought last year but that's done now. XB1 literally has the same games as PS4 just that it has better exclusives. And then Wii U did have the largest jump but still didn't beat the PS4. I think it will next week



XBOX ONE/Wii U/3DS/PC

in your opinion

Not in mine and not in many others apparently.



Didn't we go over all that already?

Here are some points:

- exclusive PS4 bundle
- exclusive content on PS4
- exclusive PS4 marketing
- Watch Dogs PS4 is probably widely known to be the better version
- the Kinectless X1 releases tomorrow, so people might be more likely to just wait until the price drops $100
- it did actually help, it gave a 25% boost

Anything I forgot?

EDIT: Oh, and I just read your part about the exclusives, lol, so that's the direction you want this thread to go.



There's a number of reasons, the PS4 is a better buy at the price, Watch Dogs was marketed and bundled exclusively for the PS4, Microsoft has been trying to extricate itself from a mountain of bad PR since the reveal, and the PS4 has opened a pretty good lead on the One. Add it all up, and more people are going to buy where there friends are, where the games perform better, and in this case, where the exclusive content is. Worked the same way for the One (and 360), for games like CoD.



Opinions are like assholes everyones got one. So yeah in your opinion xbox has better exclusives n imo i like both exclusives offerings.



27% is barely helped?!?

ps4 got a better boost because it is the better console, simple as that.
