On hardware? Yes. On software? No. Titan Fall and Halo (eventually) outsold every PS4 exclusive to date. Besides, Im going by vgchartz and they stopped tracking a lot of these games, but only selling a little over 2 million copies is embarrassing for the fastest selling console of all time. Also, for a console with 2x the sales of xbox one you would think it would do better.

And there's you're problem.  And in the end, the PS4 is going to sell WAY more SW than the XBO (already has.)  And it will have more 2M+ sellers, too (apparently already has if that's the only two for Xbox.)  But, if you want to move goalposts to make the XBO's very distant 2nd not seem so bad, you go right ahead.


So? You would expect people are buying a PS4 for their top notch exclusive according to many people here. The fact is Sony AAA exclusive games can only scrape 2 million which is sad. It proves Sony is relying on their brand name to carry them yet again. Which will be their down fall in the long run. Also, there is more than those games, just pointing out the big ones for xbox one and still waiting for the ps4 big ones.

This will be my last reply, as your bias shines as clear as the sun.

First of all, KZ:SH and I:SS were the best selling installments in their respective franchises.  So, the popularity of the PS4 boosted those franchises.  What did the XBO do for Forza?  It's slowly killing it.  Forza 5 didn't even pass 2M.  Forza 6 is doing even worse.  Halo 5 has a shot at being as good a seller as the others, though I see that falling short of even 8M.  Could be wrong.  The PS4 is also responsible for creating and helping at least two new AAA IPs succeed, Bloodbourne and Driveclub.  Now you could say Titanfall for XBO, but of course we never got hard numbers for that, except that it sold 1M in the Quarter it released, many of which were also from PC.  There's also the fact that the sequel will be coming out to PS4, so guess that doesn't really matter anymore. 

As for H:MCC, funny how you discount ports when speaking of PS4 numbers, yet use a collection of ports to tout the XBO SW sales.  Yep, no bias there.  So, using your criteria of AAA exclusive, minus ports, the XBO only has (maybe) ONE AAA exclusive that sold 2M+, so far, to Sony's 4.  (Slow clap)  Probably the reason many are willing to just stick to PS4 if they are only developing for one console.

The fact remains that more games are selling better on the PS4.  No debating it.  And once Sony actually releases its biggest guns, GOW, UC, and GT, you're going to see who really has the higher selling exclusives.  Of course, I fully expect you to move the goalpost, yet again.

I didn't use halo collection at all. I am refering to Halo 5 thus the eventually in paranthese. Also, there was plenty of games that sold over 2 million for xbox one as well besides those games. I am pretty sure forza 5 is over the 2 million hump by now because it sold over a million about a year and a half ago. And it was Microsoft's best selling racing game by console attach rate. Here is the link https://www.vg247.com/2014/02/18/forza-motorsport-5-passes-1-million-sales-milestone-free-dlc-to-celebrate/. So if you are going to include games that aren't over 2 million according to vgchartz I am too. The fact is Sony games don't sell that well outside of Naughty dog games and maybe GOW. Finally, The last GT (GT6) sold pretty bad for a Sony flagship title so I wouldn't talk about Forza dying.
