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.

You're joking right?  MS and Sony are marketing far more than Nintendo this gen.  And far better.  Sony especially.  The only games to have good marketing from Nintendo were Smash, Kart, Mario Maker, and Splatoon. Others got either no marketing or limited marketing.  And don't get me started on the astounding lack of general Wii U ads.
