Gta. It sells more but less often. It would still shift hardware like nothing else, not even cod.

Well the Nintendo and Fifa thing aren't even in the running so we'll look at GTA and COD.

Let's say this generation lasts 7 years.

Sony would get 7 COD games for the PS4
MS would get 1, maybe 2 GTA games for the Xbox One.

I'd say by far the numbers/sales are highly stacked in Sony's favor as 7 games are gonna outsell the 1 maybe 2 that MS will be receiving when it comes to these 2 high profile IPs.

I think the game that sells mega numbers annually is the bigger IP. Hence, Call of Duty.

Unless we're talking exclusivity for a single GTA vs a single CoD.

Even I know GTA and I don't even like the GTA series that much,

More unique people buy GTA so more people like the franchise which equals bigger meltdown.

But Teeqoz pointed out that many people would buy COD biannually so that could offset the number of people that like the series compared to number of people that buy a single installment.

So, FIFA with motion controls? :)

OT: GTA would by far.



Barkley on 06 June 2015

Depends on the GTA release schedule, there games don't release often. One Major release would have a huge impact and it'd take a lot of annual CoD releases to make up for it. I mean there was 5 years between IV and V. It's hard to say if 5 CoD games would move more consoles than 1 GTA game.



Barozi on 06 June 2015

CoD as it's a yearly franchise that does at least 20-25m per release.


People go crazy over the sales of GTA V (rightfully so), but there's no sign that GTA VI will come close to them. The other GTAs also hover at around 20-25m.
