A bit surprised that tlou:r stayed ahead of the xbone version of diablo to stay at number 2, and minecraft just will not die it seems. Wonder what will happen when it actually passes certification for ps4.

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).


Wasn't aware there were clickers in Diablo 3.

Like I said to him, fair enough, I do believe that SCEA are advertising it.  Here in the UK, I haven't even seen the game advertised; let alone as a "PS exclusive".

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.

I'm talking globally in the UK here, not globally. And globally in the UK xb one install base is 66% of PS4, so it's only a 14% stretch not a 30% stretch.

Globally I think it will be more like 60:40 to PS4.

Oh no, not saying you're wrong or anything.  In fact, this isn't the first time I've heard of this with the PS4 exclusive ad stuff.  People have stated in the past they haven't seen much by way of advertisement in certain areas, while others have said they've seen allot.  It may simply boil down to where Sony is allocating the ad revenue.

They announced it at a show, just not sure which one.

Oh lol

Well I still disagree about the 60:40. I say 68:32 in 2014
