Lol. What kind of chimp wrote that thing?

Sure they may be making more money. That's probably what this deal is about. But selling more units? That is just bullshit. The whole "calculation" they did is absolute nonsense.
First of all pretending that 50% of gamers own both consoles is a joke. Secondly ignoring that the cut off gamers are 2 thirds of the market and not just half is another joke.

They can be happy if the controversy about the game pushes it up to half of the possible sales. And yes I'm ignoring that it's only timed exclusive.

Well 50% may be too much, but by the end of 2015, a significant amount will own both consoles. Maybe 20 - 25% will own both. 

I already own a PS4...why would I EVER consider buying the Xbox One?  NONE of the exclusives announced for the console appeal to me in the slightest...and they are very few in number in any case.  No, I think you are wrong this time...When 90+% of all games this gen are going to be multiplatform and with Sony having (by FAR) the largest number of exclusive games, there really isn't a reason for people to buy the XB1...unless they REALLY REALLY like Halo.
