I'd like to reiterate my comments which I made before knowing those figures in the OP.

What Sony gets and MS don't is that it is the online games that require connectivity and lots of friend circles that push most of the sales, exclusive or not.

This is why Sony backed up Destiny heavily as it will help sell more PS4, and those people's friends will also buy one to stay in the circle. This is not a brand effect but rather "network effects", which is exactly why X360 was popular in the past. Sony uses the same tactics against MS this time around.

Yes, not only the exclusives but online games like Destiny have been the true system sellers since the beginning of the 7th generation.


Uhhhhh.... Microsoft doesnt get this? They have been utilizing this strategy since Xbox360 with Call of Duty. 

 

More like Microsoft was heavily invested in Titanfall which released in March and didn't feel or think of the need to compete for the Destiny marketing rights. Because they thought that Titanfall was going to be their golden chicken.

You are comparing this weeks sales to the same week last year.

Sony said that the sales for Ps4 was the biggest since the 2013 Christmas. The numbers should be something between 700k and 900k.

Eh? The PS4 sold 450k the week ending December 28th (Christmas week).


Sorry, my bad. I looked wrong the graph, so the numbers are ok ^^



Good for PS4 and Xbox One. Bad for everything else
