The PS4 versions of Destiny and Watch Dogs will sell better not just because of exclusive content. They will most likely have different resolutions between the PS4 and X1 versions, and it is highly implied from what we've heard from Ubisoft so far. Resolution differences have proven to influence sales greatly as seen from Tomb Raider and MGSV: Ground Zeroes.

MLB The Show have sold almost as well as the 2K series, despite the latter being multiplatform. The Show no longer has a competitor and thus, the MLB fanbase is no longer split. Is it going to sell a lot? No, but it is undeniable that because of a lack of competitor, The Show will have an impact on sales in the United States.

A lot of PS4 owners have never played The Last of Us yet, especially when a good chunk of the userbase is former 360-only users. It'll also greatly influence the consumers who have not made their minds yet on what console to buy. The remaster version is not a mere facelift. It contains several improvements like larger resolution, higher framerate, better AA, smoother shadows, and better looking  textures.

Bolded... how do you know that?

Overall attandance mabye because most baseball stadiums hold over twice as many people and they have twice as many games but when it comes sellouts and near sellouts per game the NBA is way ahead as for overseas popularity the NBA is also way ahead.  My guess is that the NBA is more poplar just in China then the MLB is the entire rest of the world outside North America.

 


lol NO that's one country in which not all their citezens have access to it. Second most popular sports in the ALL of latin America is Baseball behid Soccer. Baseball is the biggest sport in Japan.

Its hard to look at single games as system sellers beause its alot of money to justify for one game. But does sony really need single game system sellers? its the top selling console because gamers know that 1. sony will provide amazing exclusives like the last of us, uncharted and the order. These games sell systems as people anticipate them coming out. 2. multiplats are and will continue to be visually superior, and as much as some people like to ignore it, that makes a major difference.

Wow you have no clue the NBA is hugely popular in China.  Baseball might be the biggest sport in Japan but the MLB still isn't very popular there since they got their own league.

MLB will not give it a major boost the game doesn't even sells more then EA's NHL series. The NFL, NBA, and College Football are all more popular sports in the US even NASCAR is catching up to major league baseballs popularity. Also the best selling game in the franchise is MLB 2000 which only sold 940K and came out 15 years ago on the PS1.


Of course its not going to sell more than NHL series which is multiplat. .Baseball is the second most popular sport in the US behind Football This year is different. any baseball fan want to play a baseball sim, they have to buy a PS4

No it's not.

Sony has the marketing for Destiny, Watch Dogs and Arkham Knighjt, one of the 3 biggest releases of the year, Destiny and Watch Dogs already have PS4 exclusive commercials. Think how CoD was marketed like a 360 exclusive.

The biggest game you listed (Destiny) is a multiplat. It will help PS4 somewhat because of the marketing campaign but there will also be just as many people buying it for XB1 because that is where a lot of Bungie/Halo fans will remain no matter what.

Watch Dogs is another multiplat. Having 60 minutes of exclusive content doesn't change the fact its on every other platform out there.

MLB The Show doesn't sell squat. Being the only baseball game doesn't matter because 2K was never a real option before because it was so bad and people still didn't buy The Show. Baseball video games are not popular at all.

The Last of Us remastered is not a system seller. It will sell well to existing PS4 owners but a year old port is not going to push hardware.

The Order is the only exclusive PS4 has with an actual chance to sell systems if it ends up being a great game (which is still in doubt).

The PS4 versions of Destiny and Watch Dogs will sell better not just because of exclusive content. They will most likely have different resolutions between the PS4 and X1 versions, and it is highly implied from what we've heard from Ubisoft so far. Resolution differences have proven to influence sales greatly as seen from Tomb Raider and MGSV: Ground Zeroes.

MGSV sold more on PS4 because thats where the MGS fanbase is and has been since PS1. That is common knowledge. Destiny and Watch Dogs will probably sell slightly more on PS4 because the install base is bigger but they will both sell huge numbers on XB1 as well. Especially Destiny. Most people don't even know what resolution is outside of these console war discussions on forums that most gamers don't even visit.

How do you know how many PS4 owners have played The Last of Us? I'm guessing the people who just dropped $400+ on a brand new console with very few games right now are mostly hardcore Playstation fans who picked up a PS3 at some point over the last 8 years.
