Drought?! Like Screamride being the only exclusive on Xbone since November?! Maybe you should look at just how little Xbone is releasing of note then compare games.
Funny thing is I have customers coming into my store to buy PS4 to play Bloodborne and MLB pretty regularly, still no one coming into my store saying I need to buy an Xbox One to play Screamride or tell me they need it because the Xbone update is must have. Weird right?
Same tired games you guys always complain about then you parade out Forza, Halo and Fable.
It's big money though if they release them in good quantities. Just look at Skylanders they've made over $3 billion in sales. If Nintendo made that kind of money or even a fraction it could easily fund the next 10 Zelda's.

Activision got blindsided by Skylanders popularity and they rolled with it. Nintendo if they want to keep the first run special should keep the 1st costume ones limited then release a 2nd line of Amiibos based off of the alternate statues in Smash. For example Little Mac in his pink gear, the other 6 villagers and the 7 Bowser kids for example. Make them unlimited for say 6 months so everyone has a chance.
This way we get 3 benefits.

@Douglord
Yeah like you would know. Having played neither You wouldn't have a clue.
The point is there are significantly more PS4 games with higher resolution. Dragon Age is 1080P on PS4 and 900P on Xbone it doesn't matter if you think it looks good because that's a fact. 90% of the games do not run at 1080P, the list proves that so you should stop misinforming people.

Even current games like Middle Earth, BF Hardline, Dragon Age, Evil Within run below 1080 P.
News flash, there are more months in the year than Christmas. I would rather be playing games all year.
I just finished The Order, playing Guilty Gear Xrd , Bloodborne, Metal Slug, Helldiver and soon I will play Bastion and Shovel Night. Then Toukidan, followed by J Stars and a bunch of other exclusives.
Fall will have Ratchet reimagined, Until Dawn and Tearaway from Sony with Disgaea 5, Persona 5, Dragon quest Heroes, God Eater 2, Jojo Bizarre, Everyones g...

If PS4 is smoking then it's only because it's crazy sales. The Xbone can bring some mirrors and make an illusion of games for Christmas.
Yeah it's not like Destiny moved a million units last year. You know this little series called Batman being bundled and selling out in a day probably won't be that important either. Witcher 3 also is not first party or exclusive so we should probably pretend they won't move units and be on our merry way. They probably won't even be considered for gifts or any during Christmas because they'll be like 6 months old by then.
Does lack of monthly numbers change the fact that MS are too embarrassed to even announce their sales?! Last gen all we heard was their boasting. This time we get dead silence and Sony announces their incredible sales regularly.
I am enjoying playing the best rated games this generation so far. If these great experiences are what are considered mediocre then it's going to get even better.
It's not like Sony has ever sold more than 100 million before right?! Yeah only twice and heading to a 3rd. Seriously Xbone fans seem to think they have a reason for PS4 sales slowing down, but, only because they hope for it themselves. Yet every time Sony announce new numbers they absolutely crush Xbone.
You would be right. Even though the difference here is $100 as the PS4 is $450 whereas the Xbone is $350 w/o Kinect and $450 w/ Kinect it still gets destroyed in sales. I had a pallet full of PS4's and they are half empty now whereas we've barely sold Xbone's.
They actually go back and edit their numbers based of NPD and other charts which they have access to. Do you have anything to prove what you're saying? No I would guess, yet here you are claiming that numbers you don't like are wrong? When Sony announced they had 20.2 million units sold they put up numbers reflecting that.
I can tell you as I work at EB Games, we do NOT give out our sales or numbers to anyone. So YOUR idea of how polling is done is just plain id...
Staff can't just answer polls and give numbers for anything. Guess you don't work retail as you're clueless. Companies don't disclose anything because competitors can also 'poll' for numbers if that's the case.
Like Assassin said they aren't exclusive outside North America. Rosalina was a also Target exclusive and I had to get mine off of UK Amazon website. They get presold quick so I recommend keeping an eye on Amazon.co.UK
It's worse for us since Canada doesn't have Target.
They're trying to muster up any sales they can so the deals just get better so it might be better to just wait. Just This weekend in Canada MS had Xbones for $50 off and also included $50 live money as well. So a $350 CDN = $278 U.S. + $50 live cash.
Also many stores were actually sold out of Bloodborne as well.
I am a Jets fan so for once this might be a great playoffs. Just hope the Kings get knocked out tonight.
