MLB will not give it a major boost the game doesn't even sells more then EA's NHL series. The NFL, NBA, and College Football are all more popular sports in the US even NASCAR is catching up to major league baseballs popularity. Also the best selling game in the franchise is MLB 2000 which only sold 940K and came out 15 years ago on the PS1.


Of course its not going to sell more than NHL series which is multiplat. Baseball is the second most popular sport in the US behind Football. This year is different. any baseball fan want to play a baseball sim, they have to buy a PS4


No its not the NBA and College Football are more popular and College Football is only going to get more popular since divison 1 has a small playoff now.  As for the NBA not only is it more popular in the US its miles more popular all around the world.

College football isn't a sport by itself, it's just Football only for states / cities that don't have a NFL team. Is basketball more popular than baseball? Seems pretty even, but you may be right. In terms of video games, yes NBA2K is certainly more popular than The Show.

The Show might give PS4 a small bump in the USA the week it releases, so technically it will sell systems, but it won't cause a lift in baseline sales over a period of weeks. Most franchises cause a HW bump for their first release on a new console. OTOH The Show is already out on PS3 and PSV, so that's going to have a dampening effect on the PS4 version. If Sony had released the PS4 version a few weeks ahead of PS3 version it would have done more to help PS4 sales. Now that it's behind the PS3 release the effect will be greatly diminished.
