However the PS4 outsells it every week and it stands to reason that eventually there will be some games that aren't ported onto it, especially games that appeal to the Japanese market. I know they were only just released but the current sales figures for Halo 5 and Rise of the Tomb Raider would be enough to give Phil Spencer nightmares. If PS4 attains a massive chunk of market share devs may make games especially for the spec of PS4 and XBone may get some crappy ports that highlight the deficiency of the system and that would spell trouble for Microsoft. Also, don't underestimate the curveball that is NX. |
The PS4 already sees loads of Japanese games that developers don't bother to port to Xbox One because they know they won't sell. And I don't think it has anything to do with PS4 having a larger userbase, I think it's just the demographic of that userbase. The PS3 and 360 were virtually neck and neck in userbase and the PS3 still saw loads of Japanese games the 360 did not see.
I can't see your typical 3rd party publisher ever ignoring the Xbone or giving it a shit port because that's still a big chunk of sales that is only going to get bigger as the userbase grows.
