And this is important because?

Are two exclusives not able to coexist without having to demolish each other in sales?

If one sells more than the other, what does it tell us about the consoles they are on, that they are more popular? Wouldn't that undermine the  game selling on its own rights?

I think the perceived importance is in the fact that some Xb one fans are suggesting that TF is the second coming of Halo and that it's going to cause Xb one to leapfrog PS4, partly because there's nothing of offer that is as big in the same release window. But clearly Second Sons is a substantial PS4 release, which is as likely (probably more likely because it's a genuine exclusive) to push PS4 sales as TF is likely to push Xb one sales.

Basically SS vs. TF is a proxy for the larger PS4 vs. Xb one sales competition, to some people.
