if ps4 gets the call of duty marketing deal with activision (it's been rumored, and kind of makes sense) then i can see the ps4 sales being much higher

I would love for that to happen but I don't think it will. COD has long been a Microsoft tie-in and Destiny being an Activision/Sony tie-in evens things out. Has there ever been a tie-in that has jumped ship to another console? Was Assassin's Creed originally promoted for PS3??

Most of the Assassin's Creeds were marketed, and had exclusive content for PS3; then Unity happened. Tomb Raider was a long standing PlayStation franchise, and then ROTTR, controversy and all, happened. GTA was timed exclusive on PS2, Microsoft marketed GTA IV, and now Sony has V. Sony also had Monster Hunter up until 3. Nintendo has the franchise on lockdown now. Franchises do change hands, but I don't see CoD changing any time soon.

If COD became a PS4 tie-in... The software sales difference between PS4 and X1 would be drastic.

oh yeah definitely, if that does happen i bet it will sell 13-14 mill on ps4 alone

GTA5 has sold about 3 times more on PS4 than on X1.

And to the guy that said X1 will be US market leader... I'm not so sure about that. It could happen, it could not. We might even have PS4 and X1 neck and neck in the US. Just because X1 outsold the PS4 for 2 months out of 12 does not mean it has won the US lol.

I'm pretty sure bundles had something to do with that.
