| VideoGameAccountant said: I see a lot of mention of install bases but one thing I see people forgetting is that first party software's goal is to drive the install base. Zelda is definitely doing that. Horizon doesn't seem to be doing that. The install base matter as that means there are 60 mil + PS4 owners who could buy the game, but at the same time, customers aren't rushing out to get a PS4 to have this game like they are Zelda. I think that is the major difference between these two games. |
Wait so HZD comes out....alon g with other 1st party Sony exclusives and they actually have thier best start of any year the PS4 has came out and you come to the conclusion that customers aren't rushing out to get the PS4? I mean HZD and BoTW both came out around the end of Feb and sales have been up YOY for PS4 so something is driving sales.....
I mean I know yous aid HZD in particular but we can't say for sure if it is or isn't driving sales. Being at over 3.4mil at the end of April according to reports is great. Maybe not as great as BoTW but still amazing for a new IP. So combine the sales witht he YOY growth and that can definitely be seen as driving install base. So we can't say for sure that your last line is true.....
The absence of evidence is NOT the evidence of absence...
