lol Just say title change, I guess now these random post are on topic.

It being up day 1 and up for pre-order a month before launch would spur more digital sales.

Lol at the 360 sales of GZ... install base my foot.
Xbone 3.9 mil vs 360 80 mil

Its already been shown to you than Ground Zeroes is not the biggest launch of the Year. Drop it already.

btw .. its all Win win for PS4. selling the most third party games this gen seems to be in the bag now.

Did you played it? It is... suck amazing game... the biggest release so far in 2014... I expected to play better games in 2014 yet but for now no other compares with it.

Half the price, more popular series, and available on 4 consoles vs 1.... yeah it seems like it should have blown Infamous out of the water. I'm surprised its so close.

To be more fair, compare PS4 sales to PS4 sales... or at the very least at least playstation vs playstation, where Infamous still outsold it even though it wasnt on PS3.

Overall Second Son has done very well especially on such a small install base. 12% of PS4 owners bought the game, and I doubt they're counting digital purchases yet. Fun game too. People should check it out if they havent yet.

And those publishers would fail unless they were doing it with a game that isn't coming soon in the likely future. Its been 8 years since Final Fantasy Versus XIII XV announcement, there hasn't been anything save for a new trailer.

MGS4 came out in 2008, and MGR came out early last year. So it doesn't suprise me that fans would rather pay $30 now then wait till fall 2015(?).

Not to mention the game uses an entirely new engine, and its more destructive to hold off paying for thate dev with Phantom Pain then with MGZ, which will only increase interest in the game.

Meanwhile, SE has to make 3 sequels of FFXIII and make FFXV and KH3 multiplatform just to not end up like konami.

Honestly. what other games do you think this kind of cash grab would work? Cause it wouldn't work with any yearly releases, multiplayer focused games, or exclusives(single console), rebooted series, Metal Gear is an outlier; few tripple As have the fanbase and fit the mold. This whole bad example thing has been overblown and taken out of proportion, same thing with microtransactions, dlc, etc...

Let the market decide.

Has nothing at all to do with a game being the biggest release of the Year.

Feel free to believe that all you want. I'll side with logic. People who are open to DD are going to buy digital games regardless.
