| awesomeabe1998 said: So I was going through some threads and I noticed one about HW sales of the week ending May 31. It stated that the XB1 was at around 50k and the Wii U at 187k and PS4 at 201k. This got me thinking: did Watch Dogs really give PS4 sales a 80k boost? It seems a bit off for a couple of reasons. 1. It isnt an exclusive, its a multiplat. I have never really seen an all console multiplat raise HW sales so high and by 80k. 2. It did not really give XB1 a boost. XB1 only went up around 10k this week which is wierd compared to how much the PS4 went up. I am not damage controlling or anything. I am happy that the Wii U went up like 600 percent compared to last week and that the PS4 went up too. It just wierd how a multiplat boosted HW sales on PS4 more than Infamous did. It is also wierd how Wii U did not sell better than PS4 but therw is a pretty legit reason for it. The Wii U didnt sell as much because of the bundle only being out for 2 days where as WD was out for a full week. Is the PS4 overtracked for this week? |
Multiplats move hardware a lot! Often by more than 80k. (See call of duty or gtav). In fact, multiplats proabably move more hardware in total than exclusives, probabaly by a good margin too. It also isnt that surprising that watch dogs boosted more hardware than infamous considering sold almost double on the ps4 compared to infamous.
