| teigaga said: Oh I'm sure the PS4 will be doing 2:1 when it comes to those releases but i still expect a healthy boost for the Xbox. Also Halo + Gears >>> Any IP sony has. Specifically because they online/community and the power in them. I really think people are making the mistake in thinking that these early adopters are representive of the masses that will swarm to the next gen systems once they've got big hitters exclusive. I don't think the casual COD fan has the bias against microsoft that is portrayed by the informed gamers on here who bring up suff like resolution, DRM etc. |
Didn't the last Gears game fall off a cliff as far as sales go? Uncharted and Gran turismo are pretty big franchises, arguably bigger than Halo and Gears. Bonus, Sony has more, and more varied, first party franchises. Gears and Halo appeal to the same type of crowd, which isn't a terribly great thing.
CoD casuals may not understand things like resolution, DRM, and frame rates, but they do understand "The PS4 has better graphics and costs the same. It even gets some cool exclusive content for Destiny broseph."
Everyone keeps saying that they expect the XB1's multiplats to be a selling point. Here's a little mental, or real world if you want, experiment you can try:
Make two batches of doughnuts. Make sure Batch B looks a tiny bit deformed or smaller. Set up a sidewalk stand and try to sell them. Batch A looks better and you can drizzle a very small amount of chocolate, caramel, or sprinkles on it. Batch B is slightly less appealing and doesn't get the toppings. Sell both batches at the exact same price, and refuse to add any toppings to doughnuts from Batch B no matter what. See how many Batch B doughnuts sell before Batch A runs out.
