Mario Kart 8's legs aren't that sexy in the UK!

Doesn't it have a marketing deal with Sony?



Not quite sure what you're thinking of here because I haven't heard of (or seen) anything.

Perhaps you're thinking of the fact that it was revealed as coming to PS4 when they first showed off the console version (before later showing the XB1 version).

That and the ad banners I see across the internet while im on my phone. Theres even one on here with Greatness Awaits and the PS3+PS4 versions next to each other.

Fair enough.

Are you in the UK?  My banners have been showing Bleach and Warriors Orochi all day.

A game that is strongly associated with PC, I typically expect to skew towards Xbox for some reason. I guess it might be an artifact of the fact that Xb360 dominated PS3 in USA and UK where these historically PC games (Fallout, Elder Scrolls, Witcher, Diablo) are pretty popular. So it seems to me that a game like Diablo III doing roughly the same proportions as the install base (slight but statistically insignificant advantage to Xb one) is a good sign for PS4.

I still expect popular fps games to perform better on Xb one relative to install base, much like certain types of games did better on PS3 in the UK and USA relative to install base. Despite all the exclusive extras I think Destiny will sell better relative to install base on Xb one. Though Destiny should sell better on PS4 in absolute numbers. At present Xb one is 66% of PS4 in the UK. I think destiny on Xb one will get up to 80% of PS4 Destiny sales.

Nice hold for TLOUR. Hopefully it will cruise along at 8-10K until the holiday lift and see some good holiday sales before fading pretty quickly in the new year. Still it will have done its job.

Hardware should see a bit of a boost for PS4 and Xb one. But probably not a big boost given it's a late port.

Bold: I highly doubt that. Split should be comfortably in PS4's favour. Not long to wait at least.

It's still bungie and it's still fps. 2 things that strongly work in Xb one's favour. Unless of course some fans rage quit Bungie because they've gone multiplat.

Not strongly enough to make up for One having only 50% of PS4's userbase. 80% of the PS4 version would be crazy. The One version would basically have to outsell the PS4 version in the US because the PS4 version is going to destroy in the rest of the world, and we all know that's not going to happen.

New games, sequels, relaunches or remakes it doesn't matter. Anything that releases on PS4 right now has atleast very decent sales. Developer support for PS4 is going to be insane.

He's probably thinking of the minor announcement of TLOU clickers coming to the PS4 version.   But, I've actually seen allot of Diablo/PS4/Greatness Awaits ads here in the States (I live in the Northeast).
