Sony shoulda just got exclusivity for MGS since the series sells poorly on Xbox, but they missed that oppourtunity. 


I'll be surprised if The Phantom Pain sell less than one million on Xbox One.

- Street Fighter V (Playstation 4 console-exclusive)



Which community is next? :p



*I've used the most recent games from each franchise.

your math is kind of weird cause you're assuming that Demon's gamers =/= Dark's =/= dark's 2 but besides that it actually makes me realize that sony is stealthy trying to bring the hardcore community to their side.

Really only the hardcore gamer would know that bloodborne is related to darksouls.

The only genre I feel is weak for exclusives on playstation is FPS they really dont have a mass market shooter. I may be wrong but they do well with must other genres?


I might be wrong, but I was under the impression, that only "harcore" gamers played Souls games? :)


You are right, FPS has always been a hard one for Sony.

That actually true haha, but I wouldnt be surprized if most of them darksoul players didnt know about bloodborne. Just looking at the sales for DS1 and DS2 id say they DS1 buyer didnt think the game was really hard.

The Souls fanbase is pretty dedicated. They know that BB is the next souls game. There is a lot on MS/PC that are pissed that Sony moneyhatted it  but I would still says a good 50%-60% were already on Sony. Some players on PC/MS are going to buy a PS4 for this. Though with the casualization of DS2 and (what seems to be) BB it may turn off people from that. Also PC people dont like to pay for multiplayer.



Getting an XBOX One for me is like being in a bad relationship but staying together because we have kids. XBone we have 20000+ achievement points, 2+ years of XBL Gold and 20000+ MS points. I think its best we stay together if only for the MS points.

Nintendo Treehouse is what happens when a publisher is confident and proud of its games and doesn't need to show CGI lies for five minutes.

Souls? It's actually good that Sony never had an issue with them making a Dark Souls 1/2 considering it was almost a direct copy of a Sony owned IP. People are getting this backwards.

What I meant was. Hidetaka Miyazaki.

Maybe it had something to do with Hidetaka Miyazaki not directing Dark Souls II?

Well, Sony have Killzone.
And they treated Destiny as a exclusive

Killzone isnt really that mass market shooter is it like halo of call of duty? like with other genres like racer gran turismo is the best selling racer and god of war is the best selling hack and slash as far as I know :) I would say ratchet and clank is a good selling platformer but nothing can touch mario.

Paying for 1 million worth of sales for exclusivity is definitely doable.  Ground Zeroes sold 5x more on PS4.

1 million for a main line MGS is too little,specially with the great software sales PS4 and Xone are having with third party games in comparison with last gen consoles.
