Wii U @ 60k. My God. Yeah, it's never even going to match Gamecube numbers.
LOL at those suggesting that a hypothetical GTA V PS4 bundle alone would be bigger than the impact of the Advanced Warfare bundle + Halo MCC + Sunset bundle.
You guys do realize that although GTA V will sell millions on current gen, that 34 million+ have already played that game on last gen less than a year ago.
Now I'm sure some wise ass will probably ask Respect what do you think Halo MCC is? And I'd say to them that's a completely different situation. Halo 1 never had online multiplayer on console and Halo 2 multiplayer has been down for quite a while now.
Both have received the anniversary treatment. Halo 3+Halo 4 are thrown in at 1080/60 just to sweeten the deal that is already pure fan service. You're getting the ultimate Halo fan collection with 100+ multiplayer maps with several being remade to today's standards as well.
Being basically a walking advertisement for Halo: MCC is not actually going to change the fact that in all likelihood, the GTAV bundle
is going to outsell the Advanced Warfighter bundle and that combination of games. Things go much deeper now for XBO than the mere issues of game selection.
The problem with your argument, as so many other arguments like this, is that it believes it exists in a vacuum. Not only does PS4 have Advanced Warfighter - and sales have shown that PS4 has had extremely competitive Call of Duty sales with XBO over the course of the year - but PS4 has its own slate of games this season, from DriveClub to LittleBigPlanet 3. You can say you personally believe all these other games are going to destroy whatever combination of games PS4 has, but it doesn't matter. PS4 has all the games that matter this season. It has the Maddens, the Call of Duty, the Assassin's Creeds and the Grand Theft Auto V. It has the Destiny's, the Battlefields. It does not matter that these are multiplatform.
Consumers have demonstrated time and time again that if a platform is already overall preferable, those games are going to factor into their consideration of which to get. PS4 is already the
de facto go-to machine right now. It has all the games that matter to make it sell more when combined with that simple fact. And it has been.
Even in the month with Microsoft's arguable biggest third party exclusive, Titanfall, PS4 still outsold it in that month. Even in the month when Microsoft dropped its price to $399 minus Kinect, PS4 still outsold it.
And later this year you're going to find out that even in the month where Xbox One has Halo: MCC, Advanced Warfighter (PS4 has it too) and Sunset Overdrive, PS4 is going to prevail. I genuinely hope - since it seems so important to you - that Xbox One triumphs and can do a parade so you can celebrate. But the trajectories and trend lines are clear. Nothing is going to happen for the remainder of the year that is any more significant than what has already happened, and none of that yet helped XBO beat PS4 in a month.
Advanced Warfare is a new game that I'm sure many are willing to use as a reason to upgrade their last gen consoles in order to experience the best version of the game.
GTA V has already sold 34 million+ on last gen consoles so even though some may feel a similar way about it, I doubt it's that large a number because most people already enjoyed it last year or are still enjoying it on PS3/360, while this is not the case with AW.
Doesn't matter. I played GTAV on PS3, I traded it back after 5 hours and I've been waiting for the next-gen version. There are 7
billion people on the planet. The next-gen console versions on both XBO and PS4 are going to sell extremely well. We have plenty of historic examples of remasters and ports selling fantastically.
However, stating "LOL GTA V bundle" is not a very strong argument
Except
you said, literally:
LOL at those suggesting that a hypothetical GTA V PS4 bundle alone would be bigger than the impact of the Advanced Warfare bundle + Halo MCC + Sunset bundle.
Maybe you should show others some respect for their views then?
