Nope, you're wrong, wrong, wrong. The game will still sell much better on PS4 because that's where most AC fans are.

Its illogical to compare a game to an expensive game console. There are various reasons people are choosing PS4 over X1. But resolution parity isn't gonna stop AC fans from playing the next game.

I think you under estimate the concept of "value" to the consumer. People don't like buying something they know the making "half-assed" even if the end product is still good. There are SO many other options the next few months, many people likemyself were on the fence whether to get this game or get others. When your on the fence something like this makes the decision so much easier. 

For one, there will be very little positive word of mouth from the PS4 fanbase. Word of mouth is powerfull and this game will have little.

I know finance, I know marketing. This will have a major impact on sales, but I do admit it will be hard to quantify it. How about this. AC Unity sell less on PS4 than AC4 BF, yep, install base is much higher now and the game should sell better than the previous installment, but this one wont.

I think you over estimate how important 1080p is to AC fans.

You said, "I think the XB1 version may sell as much as the PS4 version because so many PS4 owners are going to pass on it." I think you're talking nonsense. So lets just wait and see what happens. Its just around the corner now.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think PS4 owners are as petty as you think. Its going to sell much better on PS4 regardless of resolution parity.

its not just the 1080p. it the whole idea of they nerfing a verion for no reason other than parity. it is literally shooting yourself in the foot.

That is what you and a few other XB1 fans are missing. We dont care THAT much about 1080p, we prefer it but its the principle behind the whole thing. And its not "petty". They did the same thing for Watchdogs (although they did not state it was for parity, they said it was because they could not get the performance they wanted at 1080p) and it did fine, but the big difference was WD was a late may release and people really had no other options.
