Virtually no marketing?  You and I clearly watch different programming then.  Witcher commercials were prevalent on television for me.

You can't take software sales out of hardware sales the way you seem to want to.  People buy the hardware to play the software.  This gen thusfar people have shown that they are willing to buy the PS4 and then the software not bundled in order to buy new games like The Division, and Fallout 4.  It has also shown that people are willing to see an XB1 commercial for a game like The Witcher and go out and find it on PS4 instead.

Exactly. I thought the argument was that Exclusives didnt move consoles, Multiplatfors games did.

And now Software Sales are Irrelevant to the Console Sales?

I dont want to be pedantic, but the back and forth of some arguments are mind boggling.

I said it can, I didn't say it didn't. Not every game is going to sell consoles because it has good software sales. Look, this is now getting into speculation, which is not what I want to be part of. I'm not prepared to get banned over an argument that means next to nothing, so I'm leaving. The NPD numbers will show who is right or wrong, that we can all agree on.
