im curious how 7 exclusives in a year does against previous consoles. any historical data?

I wonder too. Sony did say they would be investing less into exclusives this gen than last gen. It's amazing how their output remains so grand despite less investment.

Uum ... ok.

I mean, the UK is a PS territory so the contrary of this statement would be way more surprising.

Not really, UK market is more or less the same as US. It's the rest of europe that is Playstation land.

When did they say that? It doesn't really ring true considering they have more first party studios now than they did at the start of this generation.

Helps that Lost Legacy is one of the best DLC's ever up there with Witcher 3 Blood and Wine.

Can we all agree that Exclusives sell consoles?

The PS4 doing amazing in the UK is no coincidence.

You would be a fool to disagree. Exclusives are what Nintendo lives and dies by.

Meh, PS has been leading since the beginning of this gen and it doesn't seem like Xbox is doing good number there this time. 

+ The US market is now shared between the PS4 and the Switch, which ain't really the case in UK so, I'm inclined to disagree with your statement.

PS has been leading in US since the begining of gen as well. The difference between PS4 and XB1 sales is pretty similar in both places with PS4 having a slight edge of 15-20%.

 

Switch isn't really affecting PS4 at all, and they're not sharing anything. Switch so far is only replacing Wii Us.

They said it towards the end of last gen. Things might have changed, but I remember that. Sony was bleeding financially and they were reported by 2011 to have made more of an investment comparable to nintnedo or Microsoft in new ip investments. When you are winning generations it's not harder but rather easier to convince third party to work more closely with you. Look how it worked out for Microsoft last gen. Sure their first  party wasn't on fire but they got a lot of third party support more easily. Sony makes so many games anyway  that it wouldn't be as easy to notice the cutbacks as it would to be Microsof anyway.
