its not just exclusive marketing. 


This. I feel like this will be the most used "explanation" for each multiplat game selling more on PS4 during the first years...


That wasn't my point. The game was a system seller for PS4 because it was exclusively marketed for the system. I wouldn't be surprised if some people thought it was a PS4 exclusive. I'm not just talking about a multiplat selling more.

Watch Dogs and Mario Kart 8 both did great! And that Wii U and PS4 boost was well deserved.



Dadrik on 02 June 2014

My global predictions: 1,500,000 on PS360, 2,300,000 on PS4XO, 400,000 on PC.



Just because you have an opinion doesn't mean you are necessarily right.

jlmurph2 on 02 June 2014

I thought Mario Kart was supposed to be the biggest Wii U release of the year. It got beat by PS4 and XOne Watch Dogs in UK. Plus people are very quick to bash Watch Dogs (I was one of them until I played more) and praise MK8. Congrats to both though

Those aren't WiiU releases though.

No I'm just saying. Whenever the Wii U is brought up in sales talk, THIS is the week that everyone brings up. MK8 this, MK8 that, it all depends on how Mario Kart does. But it didnt seem to do all that much.

its not just exclusive marketing. 

That and exclusive DLC. 

its the next console of choice for the mass market, more people are playing on PS4 than XB1. it has the better graphics, better performance and exclusive DLC.

Watch Dogs sold best on PS4 and the Watch Dogs PS4 hardware bundle accounted for over half of the console’s total weekly unit sales, which themselves nearly doubled week-on-week.
