I can see if people think that Sony might outsell ONE of the competitors, but both of them? Sure, Halo is a remastered collection and Sunset is a new IP, and Forza doesn't sell like crazy, but that's three games, and two are bound to do fairly well (at least in the long run). While PS4 might have the biggest install base so far, we've seen that Mario Kart can really push good numbers for Nintendo, and Smash will probably do so as well. And Nintendo has the most games of the three for this year, even if most of them are pretty niche. I still don't see how Sony could sell the most exclusives... That's why I'm wondering


So I have a few responses:

-Mario Kart actually proves my point.  The Wii U's biggest 1st party game of the generation couldn't outsell a third party game on PS4.

-LBP games have always sold well, and it has been a long time since they released a major LBP.

-The last Forza was just released, and so I could easily see Driveclub beat that game on a console with double the install and no racing game yet.  It will sell like hotcakes in Europe.

-Halo: CEA only sold 2.24m on a console with a massive install base.  I could easily see the massive win LBP3 has ove Sunset combined with the surplus Driveclub has over Forza beat MS's total.

-Nintendo is just a wild card in my book.  Their biggest game is selling well, but not as well as they need it to.  I doubt their combined 1st party games sales will be beat either Sony or MS this holiday.

bolded: NO. want to bet on that?
