The lack of next gen exclusives is visibly effecting the PS4, but people can't see it becuase they are just caught up comparing it to the XO. PS4 is obviously the prefered platform, so will always have a higher baseline then Xbox. The Xbox is falling a tiny bit down in sales as a system with no exclusives and only cross gen titles should, similar to the Wii U in the same period last year (22k), but obviously the XBox is doing alot better (50k). The key point though is that its baseline has actually remained near where it was after the holiday hype (60k in feb). Proportionally the PS4 and Xbox One have fallen in sales by a similar amount, the pS4 was pushing 150k a week in feb (excluding Japanese sales), its now pushing 110k (ignoring TLOU Remaster Launch).
Do you see what I'm getting at? Im not saying that the Xbox will outsell the PS4 but that 3rd party releases will effect both systems proportionally and theres not yet any evidence to say otherwise. Watchdogs increased a higher percentage of PS4 sales but it was heavily marketed with the PS4, alongside having exclusive content and a bundle. It still had a effect on Xbox One sales. Looking at all other 3rd party releases (Tomb Raide, Thief, Wolfenstein) both systems hardware actually responded very similar to each other in terms of their % increase/fall.
Theif: XO -13%, PS4 -17%
Tomb Raider: XO +5%, PS4 +5%
Wolfenstein: XO +1%, PS4 -1%
Looking at the above, Its only logical that both systems will increase by a much higher percentage once next gen only games are released, obviously occasssions where the specific games are bundled with should see a higher percentage increase in sales for the hardware its bundled with. Now this isn't proof that the Xbox will outsell the Wii U, but with only 10k between their baselines, its hard to imagine that it won't with all the big upcoming 3rd party releases vs 1 big Wii U holiday release which doesn't even have a release date yet.

You do realise that wii u has more titles coming? I think bayonetta will do wonders. And even if you think the games coming are not big, they are exclusive to the wii u wich are insentives to get the console. All those games coming to the xbox are not exclusive, so if somebody wants to play those they will get the best console at the same price, so not the x1. Those games will only help the people who already want the x1 for its exclusives wich are very few.

You just completely ignored my whole last paragraph and sales references lol.
I don't think Beyonetta will do better the Sunset Overdrive but time will tell...

I dint ignore it. I agree with the sales references. I just think that after last gen games stop coming, the ps4 will increase a lot more then previously estimated and the x1 will increase less because by the time that happens, the ps4 will have to many exclusives on not available on the x1, and multyplats will be better so we will see a decrease in sales for the x1 while an increase for the ps4.
You are the oneignoring what Im saying. Multy plats are going to help, butnot as much as exclusives will. Multyplats alone will benefit the ps4. You need to be interested in the x1's exclusives to consider guetting the inferior version of a multyplat.
