I never said it was the only reason it sold well. And I don't think I am putting too much stock in it. Think of how many people there are, especially seemingly in the US, that buy a system just to play their annual sports and FPS games. You see the shift already in CoD numbers to the PS4 this gen over the XB1 (the decline in CoD itself is of course another discussion) and yet the install base isn't nearly as lopsided so you would think if it wasn't a big factor you wouldn't see a large discrepancy. That alone tells me that the exclusivity can move a good amount of units for a company. |
Ya but Microsoft didn't start the whole Call of Duty annual deals thing till like 2011/12 and by then the console race was already determined.
