because all the watchdogs adds ive seen on youtube, sites and tv have been with ps4.......and with the "60 minute" exclusive gameplay and a moist person saying one moist line at the end this is for the players.(like.....who else?! lol...)


I literally must have seen at least 40 of them XD

Their waiting for the Wii U version!

Well this is the problem, in one person's mind they believe something is better, but others have a different point of view.

Now this isnt meant as a dig to Nintendo players, but personally I find Nintendo games more kiddy and aimed at the younger market.. they are just not for me. So it doesnt matter what Nintendo bring out, I am just not interested in Animal Crossing, Pokemon or Mario Kart.. If they brought out 100 of these games - I still wouldnt be interested, so the number does not matter.

Then we have hardware, the Wii-u hardware is a bit of a joke really for anyone who is heavily invested in last gen..the hardware isnt considered jumping up to. Even more so if you dont care about the games from said platform.

3rd party, like it or not, many gamers get their games from the 3rd party catalogue, the COD's, GTA's etc etc... the majority of games people buy are 3rd party, the first party stuff is like extra topping. Nintendo has failed at 3rd party for a while.

As for the XB1 jump, ...well we shall see. It's common knowledge that Watch_dogs sold more on PS4 and so would have shifted more consoles. As the XBO is getting a price cut this month, all these things will make a massive difference to those percentages... so it wouldnt be a surprise if PS4 shifted more consoles.

I thought this was going to be a serious thread and have prepared some reasons, but after reading the OP it would be pointless to write them down.
So, in short: The reason why PS4 version of the game and the console itself sell better is because they are both superior to the competition.

When you add everything together it's obvious why it happened. You can't look at the jump in a black and white point of view. Plus just because you think something is better doesn't make it true. You aren't entitled to the whole world sharing your views.

PS4 version has superior resolution, is more marketed and has exclusive content on top of the hardware itself being $100 cheaper.

Also Infamous: Second Son destroys any X1 exclusive released so far.

Ka-pi96 said: Xbox One did get a boost though. PS4s boost was bigger because of all the heavy marketing that it got, some people probably even interpreted it as a PS4 exclusive due to the marketining. Also, Xbox One would have probably gotten a bigger boost if it wasn't just before the Kinectless version is available, people will have waited for that version. And your comment about Xbox One and Wii U crushing PS4 is completely unnecessary

No one is interpreting Watchdogs as a PS4 exclusive. Watchdogs is primary on the PS4 because it has the extra DLC and has the best graphics of all the consoles. The majority of gamers on consoles are multiplat gamers and the same gamers who Sony grew off the back of Microsoft will go to where the word of mouth of the system with the superior multiplats tend to go these days. Its not like the PS2 era where it was only because third party was in abundance on the PS2. This time its about people choosing between two extremely similar consoles and one having a better price and specs, including perks for buying the console. Word of mouth is passing between core gamers to casual gamers that the PS4 is the superior console and the price helped in the beginning. 

Now Microsofts marketing with COD, there were plenty of people who actually believed that was exclusive. I cannot believe how many people i've had to tell that game was on the PS3. Its astounding how one sided Microsofts marketing of COD was last gen.

Calm down... If you are mad just because of bundled Watch Dogs helping more PS4, you wont survive seeing Destiny PS4 bundle( much bigger than Watch Dogs) + asssassin's creed unity PS4 bundle effect, dont look, it'll be painful :/

Where does this "Only exclusives matter" BS come from? Multiplatform games drive the industry more then anything else, and have always been the biggest movers of hardware. IS it because you are caught up in "LISt" wars? X1 does not have betetr exclusives not do they have as good first party as Sony. Wii-u is dead because it has no support from the development industry that is kind of important lol. 1-2 exclusives a year and basically notihng else does not deserve good sales. Sony fosters an environment where ALL DEVS and games thrive, how is thta a "BAd" thing?

Most people dont care where a good game comes from neither should you./

PS4 is by far the most popular console, it's not hard to get from that games will sell more on it. look at wolfenstein, Tomb raider, etc.. All Multi plats are selling better on PS4.
