My point is not to say Publishers and devs are going to go out of their way to make exclusive deals, but the consenus among a few is that any XBOX exclusivity is stupid. Your point would stand if games like TR that was avaiable to 160+ million wasn't deemed a failure. |
And how in the world is that relevent to the discussion? Stop avoiding the conversation.
Ok this is what I'm getting for the Wii U:
2013: around 1192.5K (might be off by a bit on this one)
1192.5 + 29% = 1538.325
2014 through Nov: around 987.5K (might be off on this one as well)
1538.3 - 987.5 = 550.8
So if my data is right Wii U sales were around 551K in December.
Bets:
1. If the Wii U sells closer to 10 million LTD by 1/3/2015 I win. If it sells closer to 9.5 million LTD by 1/3/2015 OfficerRaichu15 wins (winner gets 2 weeks of avatar control)--Lost.

Don't get so defensive, I'm only pointing out that XBOX attach rates continue to be the highest in the industry. No need for a bag of money, guaranteed money and partnership eliminates risk, which is very important in business. |
You do realise that word means a bag of money when it comes to "partnering" with 3rd parties to make exclusive games. And how do you "guarantee money"? You certainly don't guarantee more money by limiting the number of platfomrs on which you game releases. So the only way to get guaranteed money is to get it up front, i.e. in a bag from the platform maker.

Because every game automatically sells well given the installbase is big enough, right? That's what you are assuming here. And I personally wouldn't say 5.65mil is a failure.

Oh, he's going to believe what he will, this isn't the first thread someone's made bold claims that people can come back to and make them eat crow. My only gripe was thinking your whole post was about worldwide. Saying something like "It doesn't matter if Xbox One sells more in US, PS4 still has WW" is common here.

He's also forgetting some of games that had exclusvie advertising and bundles for the XBO, but still sold better on PS4. Even in the US. And once SE sees how much the PS4 has sold by the time Nov/Dec rolls around this year, they are going to seriously regret that Tomb Raider deal. |
Like Destiny. But how much does that matter when 360 software on a MS advertised game ends up selling more than PS4 software. MS is still getting the money.

The other leak said ~100K more than the best month (December 2013 with 481K).
Maybe we get a pie chart for more precise numbers.
december NPD every game, expect farcary, sold better on xb1 than ps4
5 top 10 2014 games sold better on ps4
4 top 10 2014 games sold better on xb1
so the ps4 Domination is over (at least in the USA)

When did I say XB1 is going to dominate this year. I said XB1 will OVERTAKE ps4 this year. Man these 2 small NPD victories really has you guys messed up. As Aaron Rodgers said, R_E_L_A_X.
Also why would I need to specify the region in an NPD article?
