I seem to remember golden week being a disappointment last year

3ds should do better with a new sku
ps4 actually has japanese games
and wii u is getting a very hyped niche rpg duo(well dq10 isnt niche but you get the point)
there will be boost this year.

look at that PS4 bump from watch dogs, glorious lol! also, PS domination all around. looking at this, one has to wonder just how mad square enix was giving Tomb Raider to XB1 as a timed exclusive.

Now that they're going up against Uncharted, they're probably pretty mad to begin with.

In their quest to avoid Uncharted, they're going up against Uncharted.

this whole "going up against uncharted" thing just grinds my gears. if its not releasing on the same day/week it wont make a big difference. we have many FPS games going at it in the holidays each year and they all sell well. chances are people who like uncharted, also like tomb raider and will get both. its not "one or the other"

Nah, people only have so much money.  So they'll get their priority.

their quest was never to avoid uncharted, it was all about the money. the people on Xbox who were gonna buy Tomb Raider would have done it if it were exclusive or not. and the PS fanbase like tomb raider quite a lot, even if it released close to it it would still have sold on both consoles no problem, like how Battlefield still sells the same time CoD releases. MS handed them a big wand of cash, probably after the first one took so long to be profitable, told them they would cover marketing and development costs, and in return they get it for 6 months, and square gets profits from when the game releases on xbox and then PC/PS4

why did halo 4 sell well when CoD released just 6 days later?
why did farcry 4 sell well when CoD released 2 weeks earlier and GTA5 on the same day?
Why did battlefield 3 sell when CoD MW3 released 2 weeks later?
why did uncharted 3 sell so well when CoD and skyrim released a week later?
