True, but I guess they have to laugh at something. Especially with how things are going with One currently Like I said in a comment, it would be funny if it were true. Probably went a little overboard with the sales part of it, but I was feeling extra saucy at that moment in time. Anyway, Sony exclusives sell just as well as MS's. The only problem is that Xbox fans seem to like to compare EVERY exclusive with either Halo or GeOW, as if ALL MS's exclusives sell that well. GT is like Sony's Halo. UC is like Sony's GeOW. GOW is like Sony's Fable. Last of Us, a new IP, outsold every Forza but 3, and could become a new 4M+ franchise. Heavy Rain outsold Alan Wake by ~2x. Then, you have smaller franchises (something MS definitely lacks), like Infamous and R&C, that sell 1M+/2M+ every time. Then, we have all those new IPs Sony is developing for the PS4 that may become larger franchises, as well. |
Alan wake was awesome regardless of it's poor sales. It's a shame MS have no stomach it seems for games that sell poorly the first time around. AW could easily be made into a successful franchise. It has a lot of potential as a game. I think it sold 600,000 before the massive discounts came, which isnt particularly great, but the DLC sold very well apparently.
But yeah, it's easy to compare non like for like, or just focus on those titles that sell exceptionally well.
