If you release any game in a quiet month it will always have a chance to selling more. However GoW and SoTs don't affect each others sales at all. Again, different platforms, different audiences and different genres and rating systems.

Here is 1 of many good examples and ill even make it easier for your argument by pretending these games are multiplatform on there competitors platforms..

eg. A 14 year old CANNOT buy GoW4. Done.

So how does GoW4 affect SoTs sales? It doesn't.

Your flaw is that you are thinking there is not a single gamer on the fence about which console to buy.  The fact is, there are many.  You put a PS4 w/ GoW against XBO w/ SoT in March, guess which way most of those people on the fence are going.  Companies do this stuff all the time. Surprised you haven't noticed this in the 4 years you have been here.

Your talking about different things. PS4 will outsell X1 regardless of the game it has bundled for starters. I am referring to the games affecting each other sales not which game moves more hardware because that's a stupid way to look at it. GOW4 will sell millions based off PS4s success while SoTs wont have that advantage. 

Back to my point is these two games are completely different to each other. Gamers who want to play an openworld MMO will choose to buy SoTs, gamers who want a bloody Action adventure will buy GoW4. 

GoW4 will most likely be heavily bundled compared to SoTs and PS4s rapid sales compared to X1s will mean GoW4 will sell more by default. However GoW4 and SoT customers aren't affected because again different games. Apples to Oranges.
