Not a single exclusive made the Top 10. Xbox exclusives are definitely not selling as well as in the past.
That's legitimately surprising.
Has Playstation ever released a similar list? Genuinely curious if any PS4 exclusives sold better than Destiny 2, Star Wars Battlefront, Battlefield 1? EA, Take Two, and especially Activision dominated the chart, and honestly, I could see that being the case with the PS4's.
The same lists were released for PS4 today. Spider-Man and God of War sold better than all 3 of those games. Not sure if any other exclusives did because only the top 10 games were listed but I wouldn't be surprised.
And they shouldn't sell better than the past for two reasons. 1: less X1s than 360s and 2: heavily focused digital services.
WRONG, each Forza Horizon game has sold more then the previous game and Forza Horizon 4 has sold a metric ton more then the first game.
And PS4 just managed to get two games in the list with releases from last year. I wonder if you would have laughed so much about PS4 as well without that single year
Destiny 2 on Xbox One did better in the USA than Halo 5 did. Wow. That's really a fall from grace.
Wow I didn't even notice that! And Halo 5 was released well before GamePass launched. Ouch that hurts...
@Barkley just wanted to comment on a below post about how you said PS4 has 8 different IPs compared to X1. Have to take into account that 4 of those IPs are old franchises just like the X1 and 1 wasnt even made by Sony where as Xbox has released multiple titles of the same franchise like Gears and Forza compared to GT and GoW. Its why they are up there. Also keep inmind X1s PC partnership and online services do play a heavy roll in this, lets not forget that.
Destiny 2 is actually a very popular game. It has remained one of the most active games on Xbox for a while now.
Halo 5 apparently sold 5 million units in 3 months.
Generally speaking, people dont buy Playstation or Xbox for exclusives. Nintendo dominates when it comes to that.
Exactly and if you look at the top ten best selling games on both consoles in North America the list is almost identical especially the top five.
Is it true, though? I can think of at least 4 PS4 exclusives which sold twice as much as the best-selling XB1 exclusive...
I buy Playstation for their exclusives.
I imagine a few Playstation exclusives are among the best selling list. But its also gonna be much the same like CoD, BF, Rockstar games, etc.
Unless Sony releases a similar list we wont really know.
@think-man - Good for you. But its a safe bet multiple 3rd party games sold better than PS4 exclusives.
I also have a PS4 for exclusives because I only use it for that.
Those top 10 lists looks so.... mainstream.
Sea of Theives probably sold between 3 and 4 million. Not bad, Rare needed a hit.
After all these years here, it’s still the same ones getting into the bickering inherent to this childish console war.
That's because they are great franchises.
Good games are good games. Interesting to see Sea of Thieves in there considering its hate on this site. Also keep inmins later X1 games are on GamePass so don't expect Gears 5 or other 1st party games to make this list ever.
Loneken just because Halo, Gears and Forza dominate the X1 charts doesnt mean thats the only games they made. Ori and Killer Instinct are quality games but heavily digital focus.
I was referring to AAA exclusives. I buy my Xbox one for Recore and Ori. The first is kinda flawed but i realy liked the "third person Metroidvania" Ori is amazing 2d metroidvania.
Killer Instinct, Quantum Break are good solid games and i use a lot the BC option to play orignal xbox games.
Is kinda sad how everything about Microsoft is disliked in this place.
@Loneken, there's an equivalent list for the PS4 as well you know, proving it's not just "uncharted, uncharted, god of war." PS4 Exclusives top 10 list has 8 different IP's in it, while MS top 10 list has 5 IP's. A lot more variety on the PlayStation side. The top 8 are all different IP's.
PS4 List:
1st = Spider-Man
2nd = God of War
3rd = Horizon Zero Dawn
4th = Uncharted 4
5th = Bloodborne
6th = Day's Gone
7th = Infamous Second Son
8th-10th = MLB The Show
