PS users are more mature and dont buy into season pass bs?

Of course!  That must be why COD: BO3 Season Pass was the best seller for PS4 DLC in January.  Too mature to buy into that bs.

Well coolbeans think about it, it's a dlc chart lol something has to be number one. The fact that the number one selling game also has the highest selling dlc is kind of a no brainer don't you think? Everything you said doesn't mean anything lololol

I know this was a fact during the 360/ps3 era. As xbox ownes brought games mostly day one whereas PS3 owners waited for the bargain bucket. Its evident by the fact that 360 games always opened bigger, but in the end those games would be fairly neck and neck, but still with 360 games coming out on top.

As for now? No idea how Ubisoft came up with this.



Revenue for them:

PS4 = 41%

XB1 = 27%

 

Title of thread could just as easily been:

Ubisoft makes 41% revenue vs 27% from PS4 vs Xb1.

 

The reason it doesnt is to give XB1 some good PR or something :p



Well, for starters about 2.5 million of the PS4 userbase is useless to Ubisoft. Talking about Japan of course.

Furthermore, what about the rest of the big publishers? 2K? EA? Activision? WB?

Only Ubisoft isn't enough data draw conclusions.



There's alot more games hitting the ps4 to dilute the purchases down too.

You only have to look at how many multi million sellers the Wii U has. It might not have as many releases, but the ones it does get the user base are much more likely to buy.

Ofc, Xb gamers have been paying for things which should have been free since 2005. Thank you ubisoft for telling us which User-base is destroying gaming by telling the corporations it's okay for them to cheat us with digital-content which should have been included in the game, Soon everything will be purchased in term of DLC's on all Triple-A games, Battlefield 7: If you want any other weapon then the start weapons, you need to buy them for 5$ a piece. Battlefield 10: 20$ for a weapon-upgrade, just imagine COD.

 

it's now happening a lot on PS as well, Nintendo is doing it through amibos and Microsoft tried so damn hard at E3 to secure every little piece that can generate more money... Gaming is turning into shit.. I am glad i have a Pc, at least i can still enjoy gaming until the Pc gets corrupted as well.. Seing how publishers are now chopping content before launch, it will just get worse and it will affect all platforms.. More and more console gamers are jumping to PC, they will probably be okay with paying for online as well, and the die hard fans who told Microsoft to fuck off with their paywall in 2006 will be in the minority.



 

PSN: Opticstrike90
Steam: opticstrike90

The thread title is inaccurate.

This study only shows that Xbox owners spend on average more on Ubisoft games only, not on average for all games.



Got a PS4 and i don't buy any Ubisoft games, cause they messed it up. For me worse then EA. That means a lot.



Two reasons... USA buy more SW than other countries and X1 is close to 60% of their HW there while PS4 is like 30% and usually on a healthy platform tie ratios are bigger on the console with less HW sold, because the buyers of said console are more hardcore.

What.

MKX had it's updated netcode as well as all other support pulled from going to the PC version of the game just last month http://www.destructoid.com/mortal-kombat-x-on-pc-won-t-receive-new-content-support-looks-to-be-discontinued-335533.phtml I know it's a Warner Brothers Title and if you expect anything like support or a working game from them now you are kidding yourself... but still, consoles got the netcode update, PC didn't, it is affecting your platform now.

Also when it comes to free to play online... I dunno given that the main game I play on the PC is WoW I sort of wish it was free online, but I'm equally fine with paying monthly fees for server upkeep and because well I don't really expect much of anything for free, why would I expect decent servers/support from a company for no money? It's either you pay or you get what you pay for imo, which if you pay nothing you can't expect anything.
