So how many copies of The Order and Bloodborne do you expect will be sold the first month of release? Then guestimate how many will go to new console buyers. |
The Order will do well and Bloodborne will do exceptionally well. My point is actually in your sig, it is libraries that sell consoles. The PS4 has more Retail exclusives available than X1, more announced retail exclusives (both upcoming and far off), and more heavy hitters than X1 on Metacritic. While Sunset and Forza scored higher than LBP3 and Driveclub, the PS4 games score just as well overall.
Above or equal to 80 Retail only X1
forza H 2, Titanfall, Sunset Overdrive, Halo MCC
Above or equal to 80 Retail only on PS4
Infamous SS, MLB The Show 2014, Final Fantasy AAR, The Last of Us Remastered
Pretty evenly matched as far as I can see. Now lets throw in the other games that didn't score so high (I value all of these as I don't judge by meta like some do, just using as a reference).
Killzone SF, Knack, Natural Docturine, Samurai Warriors 4, Driveclub, Little Big Planet 3
Vs
Dead Rising 3, Ryse, Forza 5
As you can see, the PS4 has more games without even talking about indies. Furthermore buyers will have two exclusives to look forward to right out of the gate in 2015 with PS4 while X1 is pretty much bare till mid-year. And of course there will be a lot of hype generated pending on what is shown at the PSX and superior multiplats throughout for most games. Don't get me wrong, the X1 is swinging hard here. Overall the PS4 just has a lot more going for it both in the short term and in the long term.
So again, it could go either way, I'm betting PS4.
