1. its not twice the user base

2. it was heavily bundled on xone and not on PS4 at all (i know you were trying to ignore that, but no)

3. your initial comment is still wrong.

17M to 32M... That's twice the userbase...

And we've been pretty big...

Also, what's the point of saying "it was bundled"? There were other bundles at a similar price. People still bought the AssCreed one... do bundles not count?

And which comment? I do not know what initial comment you're referring to...

Best statement so far. Indeed, a lot of the people who rallied around the "we have RotTR first" were the same people that didn't buy it over buying Codblops3 (which I don't like much)...

But it's still offensive y'know?

 

The game was never that big on Xbox systems in the first place. And all those people who said we have it first, never gave a damn about the game, just want to use it in a list wars to try to make there console of choice look better, but they were never going to put there money where there mouth was.

I agree... saying we only play CoD is insulting though...

Repost from NPD thread, as I think it is more fitting here.

In the end The Order 1886 (PS4) outsells Tomb raider (XB1) during the holidays and with a 20% less install base. Guess exclusives during the holidays matters more right? That is of course US only,

I am sure worldwide it is an even worse case. Sony's spread out exclusives gets the media against them, but it is clearly working.

 

Oh and The Order 1886 is seen as a flop, yet it has outsold every single XB1 exclusive for 2015 aside from Halo 5.

I think the reason The Order was considered a flop was that it sold very slowly... I mean, it's higher than GoW Ultimate Edition, but it had more time to sell and it's obvious GoW has legs, so there's that too...

RotTR flopping did not surprise me, but Forza did... other than that, it seems most of our exclusives this year have been digital, compared to 2014 where we had lots of disc exclusives... I think this might have something to do with why we didn't take this November... it also seems Halo is starting to suffer from fatigue...

Perhaps it's time to shelve Halo and move on to a new IP... Titanfall perhaps...
