Heavily? In the US the difference in the installbase of PS4 and XB1 was less than 10% when Destiny released. It should've been expected that a game by Bungie who have fanbase on Xbox would be able to overcome such a small gap in installbase, especially at launch when fans would be most likely to buy a game.

Just to remember that until this year PS4 and X1 sales in USA were quite close, so one SW selling more on the losing platform isn't abnormal. PS3 outsold X360 in several MPs that genre was stronger on Sony console.

Considering Destiny came from a studio that had been under MS since forever, it would be expected that it would outsell the PS4 version.

It also should be noticed that PS4 strongest market is Europe. And if considering against Xbox, PS4 strongest market is Japan. Unless of course we are talking about Xbox strongest market and how it couldn't win even there most of the time.

Exclusives come and go , some are times exclusives  some are generational exclusives i.e. XBox 360 only  of all those games you mentioned not one strikes me as a serious loss. for each developer who has gone there is one or two waiting to prove themselves,

So an FPS made by former Halo devs sold more in America (a region where XB1 and PS4 are about 50/50) on XB1, if you don't count digital or bundled copies? Sony must be shakin in their boots!

I don't know what Sony can do about it but sell more systems relative to the competition again, and that's going to be tough to do with the Switch around increasingly dominating the console market for indie games. Sony's PS4 is still my favorite platform overall, but...honestly, even for me, the margin is closing now that many of my favorite smaller games are getting ported to the Switch so I can take them with me anywhere. In any such contest, the Switch version will be my preferred one just due to portability.

As long as it gets ported to other platforms a year late or more, it really doesn't matter. They're very inconsequential to Sony as long as the sales from them is pretty meh.

If you can't say how this post proves your rule about metacritic scores is patently ridiculous, then you're a lost cause. You *really* wanted to play a game but won't because of something like a handful of reviewers are forced to grade on a 10 point scale vs others with 20 or 100 point scales, meaning there could easily be a handful of reviewers that *would have given the game a 94, but instead had to give it a 90, or would have given it an 87 but instead gave it an 85.

I mean doesn't the 2-3 point difference often seen between Metacrtiic and Opencritic for reviews tell you everything you need to know about how arbitrary it is? Can you guess which game has an 85 rating on Opencritic? Octopath Traveler.

You're stopping yourself from playing games because of meaningless nonsense.

These Switch heads are funny, just like your cardboard sensation, Wow 3rd party support with some old ports like Skyrim from the PS3 era I mean wow, trust me the switch is doing good but it will get around 35-40 million nothing close to the PS4

No

Wow you miss out on a lot of great games.  There are a ton of games in the low 80s that are far better than others in the high 80s.  Remember, metacritic is only an opinion of about 100 people out of the millions that buy these games.  You are using what is currently the most unreliable source of game quality available.  There are other far better means of deciding what to buy.

But it is you that waste your money on overhyped games and miss out on potentially better ones, so whatever.
