Not just the holidays, early 2015 too, with The Order and Bloodborne

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

 

PS4 Watch Dogs 1,856,387
XOne Watch Dogs 898,780

yahh really matters not they are on X1.

Yeah but you are arguing Sony will have a huge holiday based on multiplatform games. Sony will move more software I guess, but I dont know how multiplats will help Sony or MS move consoles. THis stuff is also available on PC for people that are graphics whores. You should focus on exclusives to make your arguement.

No offense but you don't know what you are talking about. I think you missed how much Watch Dogs boosted the PS4 yet did nothing to the Xbox One. Check the sales and you will see how important a big multiplatform release will be for PS4 this holiday season. It does not matter if its multiplatform, it matters which system people want that multiplatform game on, and the answer to that question is PS4, hence the boost. Your welcome.

I don't think it will break records. I needs to be under $250 to do that.

I still think Destiny will be the game that decides this holiday season. If that pushes PS4s in September, the word of mouth from students will push their friends to get it for Christmas. The other games are just icing on the cake.

Exactly, I don't understand how some can downplay the importance of exclusuve marketing after seeing WD unless they're being purposefully dense.

 

Destiny will move more PS4s than the HCC will move X1s.  And with a very strong 2015 lineup, Sony will also do great next year.

 

Once Halo 5 is on sight, a price drop plus UC4 will nullify any advantage MS could gain. By the time Gears is out in 2016, the PS4 will be tens of millions ahead, it'll be irrelevant

Yeah Sony will have a huge holiday this year no doubt. Despite what many say it was smart for Sony to save most of there exclusives for next holiday because this holiday is packed with a lot of huge 3rd party games. Sony made a great decision and got exclusive marketing deals for a lot of the major games this holiday basically guaranteeing to sell there consoles and probably sell the most copies of the game.

That's actually a very good point.  It will make third parties adore the PS4, and then allow them to curb stomp the Xbox One with exclusives next year.  Better to have an equal line up this year and a superior one next year than to have a slightly better one this year and an equal one next year...
