Apparently, Quantum Break is far from moving needles.

The game is currently at #141, while the console is at a distant #1645.

Hell, even Resident Evil 6 is on top of Quantum Break at this moment...not good.

It is interesting that the console have not managed to push its exclusives well beyond the "alright" sales numbers. Halo, the once Microsoft behemoth even under performed.

If Quantum Break also underperforms, which apparently will be the case, all the pressure will be on Gears of War 4 shoulders, being the last of the Microsoft "Tri-Force" (Forza, Gears and Halo).

Yeah, the flop train for recent exclusives continues. I'm starting to wonder if even Uncharted will do okay. I mean, I know it won't flop, just seems like the market is shrugging off exclusives these days. Unless it's Nintendo, whose games still do well despite the userbase size. 

I would say marketing. Sony and MS have gotten lazy since their hardware and subscriptions pay off everything.

By contrast you see third partys and Nintendo try really hard to get their games to sell, because that is their only sources of revenue lately. They end up selling much better then MS and Sony exclusives. Back in Gen 5 and 6 Sony and MS went full force in marketing.
