That’s what I thought.

… apparently you don’t get the point.

That point is: because exclusives don’t cater to as wide a base, you’re not typically gonna see the sales of one particular exclusive come close to matching the number of sales of the console it’s on. The exclusives pull in people with different tastes, and they ALL get the big multiplats.

Not really because a) most people can’t afford a PC to run a game like QB b) even if they did have enough money most people know next to nothing about how to build and upgrade PCs.

I do see your point, though. QB looked like a legit system seller.

Multiplatform games have a wide appeal because they are multiplatforms maybe? If Splatoon were multi then it would have sold a lot, lot more. Look, I understand your point, but it seems that, both ps4 and xbox one didn’t sell for their respective exclusives, more for the brand I would say, there’s a lot of great exclusives to come for both consoles and they already sold 40 and 20 million consoles? I guess the majority of console players just wanted to play the newest games with better graphics.

What i have been saying. MS is starting to move away from hardware and this no console exclusive thing intentionally makes potential x1 customers change their minds to not buying it.

That’s incorrect. Or, rather, that’s incomplete.

One of the many reasons multiplats are multiplats is because they have a wide appeal. Because of this, they have a natural tendency to sell better than exclusives, which typically aim for a more narrow audience. This is why so many exclusives are considered successful despite having considerably lower numbers than many multiplats.

75%- there’s a joke to be made here about made up statistics- may not buy any single exclusive, but it’s exceedingly rare for someone to own a console and own NO exclusives for it. Rarer than you make it out to be, easily.

TV spots don’t make something not niche. Bloodborne is in the vein of the acclaimed Souls games; it’s got a pretty good crowd, and that crowd watches TV, do they not? Niche games can and do still get commercials.

Does it get marketed like Call of Duty?

What I’m trying to say is, even though exclusives are important, they (usually) don’t sell in proportion with the consoles. I mean, maybe 75% of all the people who own a ps4 (or a xbox one) haven’t played or bought an exclusive game. Comparing a “niche” exclusive (with TV spots, and all) with COD is just a little example.

I repeat “for months now.”

And are you really comparing a niche title like Bloodborne to Call of Duty?

oh ok not bad considering the game has been out for 11 months. My info was a bit outdated lol
