Not only do they have marketing, they also have exclusive content. The upcoming Star Wars lego game will also have exclusive content for PlayStation platforms.

Very interesting. Like I said, I think this might be a smart move by Sony.

Its also a bit odd considering MS is still selling the lego movie xb1 bundle.

interesting seeingh games with marketing doing better on the opposite system.

Battlefront and CoD has sony marketing but sold better on xb1.

While fallout and fifa/madden did better on ps4 with ms marketing.

It seems that sonys lego marketing. worked while ms rainbow 6 marketing worked.

The NPD numbers only count sales of standalone physical copies of games, NOT copies that are part of a console bundle or downloaded. 

So it actually makes sense that there would be a higher number of phyiscal  copies sold on the platform that DIDN'T have a console bundle for that game.

How does that sense? In most cases the physical copies of a game would sell better on the platform with a higher userbase.
