People are underestimating what these exclusive marketing deals got with big games like Far Cry 4 and Destiny will do. This is why Watch Dogs sold so much better on PS4 and why Call of Duty always sells better on the 360.


Install base. Didnt COD Doge sell better on PS4.



Getting an XBOX One for me is like being in a bad relationship but staying together because we have kids. XBone we have 20000+ achievement points, 2+ years of XBL Gold and 20000+ MS points. I think its best we stay together if only for the MS points.

Nintendo Treehouse is what happens when a publisher is confident and proud of its games and doesn't need to show CGI lies for five minutes.

Driveclub is looking to be the best racer for this year and LittleBigPlanet 3 will definitely entice both the core and casuals. As seen from Watch Dogs, the PS4 has a tremendous advantage on multiplats, especially when there is also a white PS4 Destiny bundle. And as the icing on cake, PS4 has the F2P and indie games to fill the gaps between each major release.

4 of the 6 games you named are available on PS3/4 X360/1. Not making a good argument.


my thought exactly, and the Halo collection is more enticing for me as an exclusive, as I'm still on the fence about x1 and ps4.

I will have plenty of 3ds and wii-u to play this holiday, but the halo collection is the only thing that makes me want to buy a 2nd console this year.

Might not break records but it will definitely win these holidays. Other than WiiU or X1, PS4 doesn't need big exclusives to sell gangbusters.

Compared to the Xbox One yes Call of duty sold better on the Ps4 but the Xbox 360 version sold the best. Install base does have a big part on how well a game will do on that system but if a game is exclusivly advertised for just one consoles 9/10 times it well sell best on that console its being advertised for. Which is why Watch Dogs did the best on the PS4. If Install base was all that mattered it would have sold the best on the 360.

I think that Sony could announce Walking Simulator 3 as their big blockbuster holiday title, and still "kill it this holiday."



Conegamer on 13 June 2014

They'll do well this holiday as I'm sure everyone agrees, but break the records of the Wii? No way. They'll be lucky to hit a million any week, let alone nudging 2 million some weeks.

Still lots of good games coming. Sure a good number of them are avaliable elsewhere but it doesn't mean it won't help sales.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

PS4 is gonna kill it this year.



jlmurph2 on 13 June 2014

So since Holiday starts in November, do you honestly believe PS4 can sell more than 10 million from beginning of November to beginning of January? (Wii's 2009 record)

U sure it has nothing to do with PS4 having nearly 2x the install base. PS3 and X360 have near the same install base and near the same sales. PS4 has 2x the install base of the X1 and 2x the sales of Watch Dogs.
