See this is how we can tell your an idiot. Your suggesting a Kingdom Hearts with almost every major Disney licensed characters isn't going to cost $10+ million to develop? Wow.
So why don't you let us know how many people worked on Sea of Thieves, Yazuza, Dragonquest Heroes (also by Square Enix) and Tales from Bandai Namco. Would love to know how you qualify your statement with some facts. Sea of Thieves looks pretty poor in comparison. How did you conclude how...
I find it hilarious that you what you suggest is NOT AAA , but, somehow Sea of Thieves and State of Decay are.
AAA so far this year on PS4
Nioh
Gravity Rush 2
Horizon Zero Dawn
Yakuza 0
Kingdom Hearts 2.8
Tales of Berseria
Soon:
MLB 17
Persona 5
Kingdom Hearts Collection
Dragonquest Heroes 2
Oh man I absolutely loved AvP. It is so kinetic and with all the cool weapons and the Predator Blaster just wrecking things.
" So once again, why aren't more people buying the "must have" games? Are they not the type of games they want to play? Are they broke losers? I am just asking WHY? I could understand 30%, but 16%? That is a terrible unless the customer base is much much lower than units sold."
Uhh seriously wtf are you on about? People aren't buying the game based on what evidence?! Please post some links to prove your point. In fact NONE of your points you h...
Sales don't end after a couple weeks though. Your angle is completely off. Uncharted 4 was at 8+ million after 6+ months on the market and it was bundled. Horizon has literally done a third of that in 2 weeks! It will have long legs and sell throughout the year and it hasn't even hit holiday sales either. Let that sink in before you start ranting again.
" Why aren't more people buying the best games available on the platform?"
...
2.7 in its first week.

Some parrots are a lot smarter though.
You know if you actually looked at numbers it's destroying more established franchises. Just look at Gears 4 during the holidays only did 600,000 in it's first week and Forza Horizon 3 only did 300,000. So for a new IP to sell even a million+ which this did is extremely impressive. You seem to have a distorted view of how many copies it should have sold. With no basis might I add. You literally brought no similar new IP sales to compare, but, criticize anyways. So bring some dat...
Horizon Zephyr!
@Videolab
Seriously other than that small list what is coming out for Xbox? Sony easily matches that level of production and add in 2nd and 3rd party exclusives the list is significant. By the time Xbox has their next big exclusive PS4 will have a couple dozen more dozen releases. That's just sad that your bar is set so low you accept that.
Recore was not AAA, the price alone proved that.
Again read the article again. It does not quote from NPD. Turn 10 talks about the franchise reaching $1 billion in sales. Turn 10 mentions the Forza Horizon 3 reaching 2.5 sales! So again this isn't NPD, it's Turn 10 specifically say that the game has reached 2.5 million sales as a whole. So again read and comprehend. Seriously stop trying to oversell Forza Horizon 3. NPD reference is about the Forza franchise as a whole NOT FH3 itself. At this point I'm not sure if your p...
Learn to read and get some comprehension please before responding.
From the article:
" Forza Horizon 3, the latest entry in the nearly 12-year-old series, catapulted the franchise above that milestone with sales of 2.5 million units. The game helped maintain Forza’s spot as the best-selling racing franchise of the current console generation, according to NPD Group data from November 2012 through January 2017."
It SPECIFICALLY ...
Really it sold just over 2.5 million worldwide! Want to provide a link for Forza Horizon 3? So get your facts straight. It did NOT sell 2.5 million in the U.S.
Quote " the latest entry in the nearly 12-year-old series, catapulted the franchise above that milestone with sales of 2.5 million units. "

Neither did Dead Rising 4, Recore, Forza Horizon 3, Forza 6, Killer Instinct and almost every Xbox One exclusive. So by your logic Xbox One is garbage? Take your salt and jump back in the sea.
Shipped to the studio is sold.
Another vote for Horizon first then Nioh. I ended up getting both, but, started Horizon and it's fantastic. Was in the Nioh beta so I will jump back at some point.
Don't you worry Sony has games into the fall like they do EVERY year! Honestly there will be more exclusives on PS4 in the 4 months than Xbox One all year so no worries their either!
@Turnbased
PS4 is nearing 5 million sold. If you look at ratios and let's assume Xbox is 1/2 the PS4 units right now, they should be at 2.5 million. 840,000 according to VGchartz or a million is severely underperforming.
@Krib
Still clueless. If it were easy and there were no other costs involved then sure what you say sounds sensible, but, releasing, qc testing, publishing and distributing products cost a lot. It's not pu...
@Gangsta
Your point is? There are what 5 exclusives of not so far for Xbox that we know and that makes you excited? Seriously? Talk about setting the bar low! Mark my words there will be more exclusives in the first 4 months of this year for PS4 then Xbox ALL year. Highest rated ones will be on PS4 as well.
Why would Sony have to pay for advertising for Square Enix? They haven't paid for exclusivity and Square as a company is worth a billion + dollars and can afford to do their own marketing.

As for Bandai Namco you clearly have no idea what you're talking about. They have a number of smaller projects and games like Tekken, Naruto and Dragon Ball have been released over the years and reuse a lot of assets and don't need the large teams you suggest.
