For one thing Gears is far off, early 2016 at the earliest, we're talking about 2015 games here. Halo 5 is one game and the MCC has already canabalized some of those numbers, most of the XB1's early adopters are Halo fans, so they've already bought the system thinking it was coming out when MCC came out or bought it for MCC, a lot of Halo fans didn't like Halo 4, so the amount of people that will buy an XB1 for Halo 5 is probably smaller than past Halo games. Sony has 3rd party dominance this generation, with all of it's exclusives that will actually make PS4 even more likely to be the place where people buy their 3rd party games. 3rd party effect on hardware sales for XB1 will be even less than it has been this year because of all of the additional exclusives people have to buy a PS4 over that system, besides better performance in those 3rd party games and DLC coming 1st to PS4.
Many have been waiting for Zelda, people like myself, the Starfox crowd haven't bought into the system yet, there aren't just those games either, new IPs in Splatoon (could very well appeal to gamers that like games like Plants vs Zombies for some chaotic, cartoon violence), Xeno Blade will appeal to past Xeno fans, Kirby, Yoshi, Mario Maker, there's a fairly long list. Another factor is also price, which is far more likely to drop substantially to support those releases. There's also the factor of the online being free, way more past exclusives launching in 2014, I mean the library is pretty huge. As a secondary platform to complament PS4 Wii U is actually far more interesting to gamers that play a more descerning style of game than the line-up XB1 has, the full library that Wii U ends up having in 2015 is actually huge.
The only thing that may interest some of the PS4 audience on XB1 next year is maybe Quantum Break, but Remedy titles aren't known for pushing huge numbers and it's fairly likely that Quantum Break would eventually release on PC anyway, just like Alan Wake did.
The vast majority of people that haven't got an 8th gen console yet will be looking at where most of the exclusives they're interested in are or where the best versions of those games are and that's on PS4 and Wii U in 2015. Most people don't buy a considered purchase, that will set them back a few hundred pounds or dollars (just for the hardware) without considering the full line-up of games that are unique to each system, PS4 and Wii U have a lot more than XB1 judging by what's been announced for 2015 already and what's already out this year. You think the kind of gamer that likes Little Big Planet, Ratchet & Clank, Tearaway, Fat Princess Adventures, along with Infamous, The Order, Uncharted, Bloodborne is going to go for Halo 5, when they could be playing Yoshi, Mario Kart, Smash, Zelda Starfox, Bayonetta? The only kinds of games that may appeal are Quantum Break and Fable, the 360 owner can already play the likes of Ori and the Blind Forest.
As far as software libraries go Wii U is the perfect complament to a PS4, the fact that the gamer buying that system doesn't have to pay for online, there's a lot more exclusives on it and the system is much cheaper than XB1, it all really adds up to Wii U getting much bigger sales in 2015 based on all of these things. |
WiiU will be the perfect compliment to my Xbox One. Im not even going to touch your lol worthy opinions about Xbox.
