What Sony gets and MS don't is that it is the online games that require connectivity and lots of friend circles that push most of the sales, exclusive or not.

This is why Sony backed up Destiny heavily as it will help sell more PS4, and those people's friends will also buy one to stay in the circle. This is not a brand effect but rather "network effects", which is exactly why X360 was popular in the past. Sony uses the same tactics against MS this time around.

Yes, not only the exclusives but online games like Destiny have been the true system sellers since the beginning of the 7th generation.

So, how about 80% of my Live friends are playing Destiny every day in the last week?

And why VGChartz shows the PS4 version of Destiny with only 25% more than the XOne? Considerering that PS4 install base is about 20% bigger than the XOne in the USA.
