No no no. Do you forget that the Wii U isn't getting any ports? If the difference between XBONE and PS4 becomes large enough, lots of games will be PS4 exclusive by default.


What?

Even the original Xbox got decent 3rd party support during the PS2 era, also, what of the Wii last gen?

It's not that the XBONE won't get decent 3rd party support, but that the PS4 could get lots of 3rd party exclusives. The Wii last gen shows my point too. Just because a publisher could get a few more sales by releasing on another system, that doesn't mean they'll make the port. The OP is saying these guys are so hungry for money that the XBONE will always and forever get every 3rd party game unless someone pays them not too.


Wii shows your point? The Wii boomed last gen and left the 360 in the dust. The PS3 wasn't out yet, for another yearish when the Wii launched. It is even a bigger gap where they potentially could have sold more by looking at the figures.

By 2008 the Wii was nearly outselling both combined in total and did more than that for the year of 2008.

Wii 24,188,263 (+46%) 43,696,333
X360 10,913,123 (+38%) 26,772,474
PS3 10,204,758 (+29%) 19,378,853
