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.

Jesus!!! Google it!!! ughhh

Edit: sorry getting frustrated explaing the samething 

Some places say Baseball and others say Basketball.

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. 


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.

None of the systems are in the Chinese market, so yeah....


MLB is not a system seller no matter how you look at it a game that always sells less then a million units is not a system seller the only sports games that are system sellers are FIFA, NBA 2K and Madden and all of those are multi platform.

This should be a great year for PS4. No one will ever be able to get everyone to accept it, but it has every advantage.

Sony has swung all of the big publishers to their side, and nearly every game that comes out this year will be sold like its a PS4 exclusive as far as presentation, and marketing goes. In addition to native PS4 games, Sony will have PS Now up and running this summer, and they are taking TV integration to the next level this year in the US,

All in all, Sony has basically swept the war by matching all of the competition feature for feature, doing every feature better, offering things the competition does not, and making it the place developers want to make content for. In addition they are doing it all with a cheaper price, and much better hardware.

E3 this year is going to be amazing. All Sony has to do is come though on everything they have already promised. The competition is going to have to pull off some industry shattering announcements to put any dent in the PS4.



Stop hate, let others live the life they were given. Everyone has their problems, and no one should have to feel ashamed for the way they were born. Be proud of who you are, encourage others to be proud of themselves. Learn, research, absorb everything around you. Nothing is meaningless, a purpose is placed on everything no matter how you perceive it. Discover how to love, and share that love with everything that you encounter. Help make existence a beautiful thing.

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.

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.


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.

Then how can you explain Tomb Raider? The PS4 version outsold the X1 version 2-3 to 1.

A bunch of my friends who have only played on the 360 last gen moved to the PS4. I've seen so many users in forums stating that they and their friends have switched from the 360 to the PS4. While this is anectodal evidence, it has been so highly recurring that it's hard to conclude that there is not a significant amount of 360-only users who jumped ship.

That poll is basically BS the only reason baseball is somewhat popular is because they have a lot of games and their stadiums hold a lot of people as far a generating revenue or tv ratings go its nowhere near 2nd place.

No one (except the OP) claimed that The Show is a system seller. The fact that the MLB 2K series is no longer around gives The Show access to a much larger fanbase. The game will definitely sell some PS4 units in the United States, especially when the X1 doesn't have anything new when The Show releases.

You clearly misinterpreted what other people said about The Show's impact.

Over a million for sure and MLB the show is not and will never be a system seller the best selling game in the franchise came out 15 years ago on the PS1 and even that one fell short of a million units.
