To me it only shows that companies hurt their sales if they agree to exclusive marketing deals. I don't think that PS4 sales would be lower if they would also mention other console in the ads but Xbox and maybe PC sales would be higher. Well, PC sales died pretty quick and player count on Steam looks horrible for the game, seems like they didn't do themselves a favour with their "famous" PC release.

If some average Joe doesn't even know about this game on his console or if he doesn't think that it's a "must" to have this game because he didn't see advertisement for it on his console 50x in a row, he won't buy the game. That's how "average gamers" think.

Telling owners on other consoles or PC that they get a version with less content for the same price does also not really sound convincing as owner of these systems to be honest.

Since most of the people that I know who own it aren't overly impressed by the game, it's most likely because PS4 owners are starved for games right now....

AAA games sell systems.  Indies fill the gaps between them and keep you entertained once you already have it.  Also I haven't bought a single indie on PS4 mainly because when there's a gap I just go back to catch up on my PS3 backlog and now WiiU will help with its pent up exclusives.  At least that's how I treat it.  I'm not buying a PS4 to have indies but if they hand those out on PS+ then I love trying them out and most are entertaining.

I would say you followed quite well.  You just disagree with my thoughts.  I think that the XB1 has had more AAA games so far.  Will that be true 6-9 months from now?  Probably not, as release schedules will even things out over time and eventually(based on past performance) the PS4 will have a good deal more.

Minecraft is quite a phenomenon.  I will say, it plays a lot like a F2P game.  The creators of it have really made out like bandits.  They too have enjoyed the bonus of coming to the 360 when M$ wasn't releasing any content.  For a lack of something else to play, the game gained quite a bit of noteriety.  Now, they have a strong brand and have it available everywhere.

As far as the gap goes, it makes sense either way with the install base + a general hunger for new games on these next gen systems.

Bold prediction indeed. At this rate, it could be possible if somehow the game gets bundled with the PS4.

I don't have the PS4 yet, but will get one at some point.  But, I agree with your sentiment.  I use indie games as filler.  I am just gld that M$ started copying $ony with the games with gold program.  I get a chance to catch up on games that i either miseed or never wanted to purchase for whatever reason.

You see, you were following just fine.  That was your real point in your first post, you just didn't come out and say it. 

We have had this "conversation" before about what a AAA game is.  So, when you look for a tally, inevitably we would come to different totals.  So let's not bother to turn this thread into some type of debate as to the total # of AAA games for each. 

My real point was about peoples want for AAA vs Indie games and how the sales prove that true.  If I remember right, you are in the field and are working on a game of your own.  So, surely your opinion will be strong dependent on whether you fall into "AAA" or  not.

nonesense. a game is only real when it has a 20+ million budget. 

See, you type faster than me, and I am at work.

But, not including Titanfall and DR3 and PVZ seems kind of convenient.  Sure, DR3 and Titanfall  are  exclusive, but they were exclusive to the M$ universe.  PVZ being available to the PS4 now kind of matches my point about how time evens things out...

Hooray for Watch_Dogs.....*slow clap*
