Yes this should make for an interesting comparison next year. The three most representative, core exclusive franchises for each of the consoles.
Name | Metacritic | First Week | Lifetime |
Halo 5 | 89 | 3.400.000 | 9.600.000 |
Uncharted 4 | 95 | 1.500.000 | 6.700.000 |
Zelda U | 96 | 1.200.000 | 5.400.000 |
I expect Halo to have a fairly easy win in both first week sales as well as lifetime sales. XBox One's userbase will be a lot smaller than 360's though, so I don't see it getting near Halo 3's sales. I think Zelda will barely win the metascore, but have the lowest sales. In any event, I expect it to be close race between it and Uncharted 4, which will have a slight increase in sales over the last instalment. There's no way Zelda will get anywhere near as 'low' as 90, because getting high metascores is what the series does, and Uncharted will fall just barely short of Among Thieves.
