Good thing is, you can go at it solo, if that's what you want. So much fun to have both options.

There are so many games releasing in March it seems this is a game that will get lost in the mix if you are not just an Xbox owner.

You are thinking to narrowly, if you own a PS4 and an Xbox, or perhaps a PS4 and a PC, and both games are coming out and you want both games, you can only get one, then of course there is an impact. You are thinking that one game is only suited to one type of player and only to someone who owns a PS4 console. SOT is aimed at both PC and Xbox and they will want to sell as many as possible, thinking that other big games have no impact on sales of other games is totally the wrong thought. AAA game that is violent and mythology and a AAA game that is with pirates and MMO based can definitely appeal to the same player. |
Let's not forget that the vast majority of gamers only have one machine out of the two. It's a small sliver that owns both. A little fraction. It can't make more than a slight little bit of difference.
Farcry 5 however, will hurt it.
Bet with Intrinsic:
The Switch will outsell 3DS (based on VGchartz numbers), according to me, while Intrinsic thinks the opposite will hold true. One month avatar control for the loser's avatar.

It is an online only, multiplayer only game with no NPCs right? So what actual options are there for a single person trying to take on ships of 3, 4, and even 5 people? |
Well, you can man smaller vessels that are faster, more maneuverable and either carefully plan a strike (for instance, when most of their crew is ashore) or avoid them altogether.
Sea of thieves and State of decay 2 make xbox one lineup great automatically imo.
Is there any hype behind SoT?
I feel that the game will fly under the radar, unless Microsoft spends a great amount of money in ads.
They have been showing the game for years, but i don't think it has "clicked" with the people yet.
If this game wasn't exclusive nobody would be talking about it.

I look at it as a No Mans Sky with a Pirates skin.

Not enough misleading marketing/flat out lies for a NMS comparison to work :)
Rare updated their site last week with tons of info on the game. Reputation, Renown, Trading Companies, etc. Check it out.

There are NPCs.
For single players they get a smaller and faster ship so they can always get away from the big boys.

Here's a run down of the progression system.

They still haven't showed much for what the money is used for besides customizing your character.
