Forza isn't half the IP that Halo is.

Also, I didn't say that the One would outsell the PS4, just that it would move enough units and be competetive enough that the PS4 wouldn't be able to cross 17 million.

Saying that exclusives don't sell systems is misleading. Big IPs like Halo, Uncharted, Last of Us, Pokemon, Zelda, and Gears of War will ALWAYS cause massive spikes in sales.

I don't know, with this gen it seems like exclusive advertising fo the next big multiplat is the best way to go. I wonder how many consumers though Destiny was a PS4 exclusive. 

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. 

I never said it wasn't a system seller. I'm saying that exclusive advertising for multiplats just seems to be doing more this gen.

Not to mention, Microsoft has been exclusively marketing the hell out of Madden, Assassin's Creed, and Call of Duty as well, so by that logic Microsoft should do relatively well this holiday season.

Madden did help XBO. A lot actually. I'm sure AC Unity will have a bigger effect on XBO sales than Sunset Overdrive. Of course Microsoft will do well this holiday season. I never said otherwise. 

Basically I was responding to your comment of Sony needing an "answer" for Microsoft's exclusives. I just don't think that's the case this gen.
