| VanceIX said: That's because we haven't many major IPs from either console makers. The biggest IP was probably Last of Us Remastered, which netted the PS4 tons of sales when it came out. I don't see why the MCC (which is arguably much bigger in terms of IP popularity and content) couldn't have similar effects for the Xbox One throughout the holiday season. |
The PS4 has attracted a lot of former Xbox 360 owners that never played Last of Us. Recent Nielsen data showed that nearly a third of PS4 owners jumped ship from 360 or Wii, in other words well over 3 Million people. That's a good market contributing to the ~1.5 Million sales of TLOU Remastered.
I'm not sure there was a similar study about XB1 owners, but I don't expect that many PS3 owners jumped ship to XB1. MCC is going to be selling mostly to people who played those Halos before and want to double dip. It will increase sales, but those are the folks that are firmly in the Xbox camp anyway.
