For you. for me Persona 5 alone beats thouse 2 together, for me Bloodbourne alone beats both plus forza and gears. for me Zelda alone beats the entire playstation and xbox library combined. So that statement means nothing, just that you like halo and tomb raider(not even, you dont even seem to want  it, just that others might want it, but it dosent occur to you that others feel the same for the other games that might be on diferent platfrms.).

The problem with equating individual opinion to popularity is that it doesn't actually work.  I prefer AFI to Linkin Park.  That doesn't mean that AFI is more popular than Linkin Park.  Halo and Tomb Raider are in fact more popular than the majority of what Sony is putting out this holiday season.  There is evidence to support that as fact.  Especially if we are looking at the US, the only large market where MS can still conceivably make up ground and potentially turn things around.

Sure I get that. But keep in mind that is not just popularity that counts. You might think that "Oh, none of thouse games sell even half of what halo sells", this is true, neither persone, dragonquesst, untill dawn, the order and any of the other games released this year will come close. But now look at the diferent and numerous games. Thouse games will probably have diferent fans, so while one gamer buys a ps4 for bloodbourne, another buys it for untill dawn, another for persona, another for mlb, another for the order. While each will sell only small amount of ps4's to each group, thoue small numbers add up and eventually over take the big number of X1's that halo manages to sell. Sales history dosent fully proove this, but it points in that direction. While some games share the same fans, its always better to have many little and difernt titles, to just one big title.
