You can play all those on Windows.
And what about the rest? Can I play Persona 5 on Xbox? Nier? Yakuza games? Danganronpa? No? Yeah, that’s what I thought.

Gears has not outsold Uncharted, and Forza hasn’t come remotely close to GT. Nearly every game in the franchise is over ten million, something not even ONE Forza game can claim.

Wake up.

Im talking about lifetime of the entire series – Gears series has outsold all of uncharted. All Forza’s have outsold all GTs. Nice try, but MS has the best selling and most popular exclusive franchises.

Nice try on your part to narrow it down to this year. Overall the best exclusives are on the Xbox platform.

I have checked the sales.

Gears’ counterpart is Uncharted, and Uncharted 4 has most definitely outsold Gears 4. Lifetime, the PlayStation franchise is also ahead.

The same is true, lifetime-wise, for Gran Turismo vs Forza. And it’s not close: GT5 and 6 alone combined for more than 15 million; the whole Forza series rests at less than 30 million. And while we don’t have solid numbers for the newest entries in either series, that trend seems set to continue, with Sport tripling Forza’s launch week sales in the UK, I believe.

Only Halo can be said to outsell its Sony counterpart, though there would actually be TWO franchises that fit the bill: Killzone and Resistance. That said, Halo doesn’t seem to have the strength of the past, as what little we can glean from sales point to about 5-6 million, which is paltry for that franchise.

I would say “Nice try,” but it’s not, so… better luck next time?

Yes they have. Check the sales.

Uh, no, they haven’t.

“Where do you suggest we get these “profitability” numbers? Sales is different than profitability.”

Well companies discuss their profits all the time. And sales = profit. Games that generate additional income over time are popular since last gen. These games usually have strong online social player interaction implemented. These types of games continue to generate income over time and keeps players signed unto their subscription yearly.

“Microsoft should not be bragging about their exclusives when exclusivity is their Achilles’ heel”

So Nintendo and Sony can brag about their top exclusives but MSFT are not allowed to? Forgive me I forgot about the type of gaming world we live in today. I dare not acknowledge MSFTs effort this gen. And I wont acknowledge their go to games that they can depend on each gen. That privilege is for Nintendo and Sony. Got it! 😉

“Why can’t YOU research?
I figured why not have these game “journalists” do their jobs for once. Or we can just wait for financial reports to get an idea. 😉

“Uncharted 4 did nearly 10 million units and I don’t think MS has sold anything that robustly”

So you’re telling me none of MSFTs major exclusives with their robust online integration are generating more income than Uncharted 4 this gen? Ok OJ.

“Now in terms of franchise sales Sony comes closer than Xbox to Nintendo with Gran Turismo.”

Maybe I franchise total sales over the years but as far as helping to generate re occurring profits I’m not too sure about that. The franchise is not active enough.

And I’d stay clear of vg charts if I were you. But if you have faith in their data so much why not include Halo franchise sales?

Remember this though. An active franchise helps generate income more than one way. Think about it this way. 4 games from the Forza series has released on the XB1 this gen. Each with DLCs and a strong active online community. I doubt very much Uncharted 4 as a franchise, by itself, is generating more profits than Forza series so far this gen. Exclusive franchise vs exclusive franchise forza alone is bigger and most likely earning more.

Dying Light’s DLC was a full scale expansion with a new continuing storyline and you can even travel between the original maps/missions of the game to the new maps/missions. You know d*ck.

A new map and a new campaign DLC has nothing to do with a Full Scale Expansion DLC release as I’m sure you already know and you are clutching at straws even mentioning a few bits of DLC for Dying Light.
