I can tell you this, the Dark Souls fanbase knows damn well which version of the game runs better. We are talking about a niche, hardcore game with a faithful fanbase.

The series always had a bigger following on Playstation regardless of performance. A lot of games sold better on Playstation with better performance on 360.

You're giving these videos too much credit on sales.

It is the logical thing to do.

The video made people aware of the lower resolution and poorer performance of the Xbox One version.

If someone is a multi console owner aware of this situation, it would be pretty silly to buy the Xbox One version over the Ps4 version.

Seeing how hardcore the Dark Souls fanbase is, i would say that almost ALL (if not all) of them are aware of this.

Obviously this will impact the sales. I own both consoles but guess which version i will be buying?

P.D. i agree with you that there is a brand asociation with the franchise, that is also a factor. This time both factors concur in one console.
