Chris Hu said: 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. |
I imagine MLB does actually give PS consoles a pretty large boost in the long run. If you want to play a baseball game, you pretty much have buy a PS console if you want something decent.
Over the years MLB probably pulls in a couple hundred thousand customers. Sure it's no Halo or Uncharted, but ignoring it purely because it doesn't sell 5 million per release is pretty silly.
OT: TBH both the PS4 and X1 have a pretty lackluster year. I wouldn't say either is better right now.
