Are you serious? 4 million+ sold for Splatoon's? That's amazing plus knowing that the game is still near full retail price.
 
My money is on UC4 being the biggest or fastest selling(hasn't been out a whole year yet) selling exclusive(this gen/thus far) if we are bringing sales into this.

Back in the TXB days, Astrograd said GT5 will do 5 million lifetime and I told him "Nope, 10 million+ once this gen is over". GT5 sold over 12 million copies on the PS3 so I'm going with the next true GT (GT7) game as being the biggest selling exclusive Sony title again.

Ok, we're getting too deep into sales figures, guys. We have a sales thread for that, or better still, the individual game threads.

Let's move back to discussing the games themselves, not how they sell.

On topic, the list I made was just one possible way of looking at things. There are many others (e.g., which has the more risk-taking portfolio, which had the most happy surprises, the most sleeper hits, the most original IPs, etc.). Feel free to make your own list.

My list that matches this would be Sony's ps4 exclusives. I think Nintendo has a chance of making more diverse games on the NX.

Pretty much! People love some gran turismo no matter how far from grace it has fallen.
 
True dat. Fact is there are still a number of people who haven't played Forza yet, hence....


Either way we get great Forza games every year, meanwhile Gran Turismo games are delayed to hell. This isn't even a full release game with all the cars and still gets delayed.


Scratch another layer of variety off sony's 2016 lineup

http://blog.us.playstation.com/2016/08/30/gran-turismo-sport-update/

Hello GT Community — I am sharing some news today that we have made the difficult decision to delay the release of Gran Turismo Sport to 2017. GT Sport is Polyphony’s foremost competitive gaming title, with high expectations from both the fans and from within our team.

From the start this title has been one of our most ambitious undertakings by using the latest technologies, such as physics-based rendering and sound simulations, and Scapes photo mode. In combining these features with a new Sport mode, we are offering a competitive gaming experience to truly reinvent what it means to be a racing game. We’ve been excited and humbled by the response each time that we’ve shared new gameplay with everyone.

However, as we approach our planned release date in November, we realize we need more time to perfect GT Sport, which we’ve already dedicated so much effort towards since announcing the title. We do not want to compromise the experience in any way. While we cannot confirm a new release date at this time, we are more committed than ever to making GT Sport the best Gran Turismo game to date.

GT Sport will continue to be shown at several gaming events around the world. I hope everyone has the opportunity to experience first-hand the yet-to-be revealed cutting edge experiences that will be achieved by GT Sport.
Thank you for all your continued support.
 
Note that MS has been delaying like crazy too. Ones I recall:

  • Below
  • Sea of Thieves
  • Scalebound
  • Crackdown 3
  • Halo Wars 2
  • Quantum Break
 
What's left for Sony this fall?

Of course de3d1 comes out of the woodwork with the delay talk in a year where Microsoft delays a ton of games and he never says a word. Just a coincidence I am sure.
 
Last time I read the list it was pretty scarce and I thought one other high profile title was bumped to 2017 as well? Maybe they're thinking the Neo and PSVR will carry them through the holiday season?
Apparently you forgot this mind blowing list....

  • King of Fighters
  • World of Final Fantasy
  • Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8
  • Gravity Rush 2
You know, the big hitters. Gears of War 4, Forza Horizon 3, Cuphead, Gigantic and Recore don't stand a chance.

They probably will but If we learned anything about this gen is that big Holiday reasons don't mean jack. Sony hasn't had a good one yet and this Holiday is probably their best and that is sad.

  • King of Fighters
  • Persona 5 (also on PS3)

Persona was delayed and KoF is already out I think
 
What's funny is Even with the delay of Granturismo Sony will have more games this year than Microsoft and that's not including third exclusives. ;)

I wasn't aware, thanks.

Doesn't even make sense.

What is a ton of delays for MS this year? 2-3? That's like a typical year for sony. So by that description, sony delays a ton of games EVERY year.

MS deserves one of those years once in awhile, especially this year when their holiday is already stacked.

They do. It just only seems to be a problem when they do it for some reason.

The biggest exclusive (sale wise)

The Last Guardian selling more than Gears? I don't know about that one.

Well mistakes start to become a problem when things are repeated, that's generally how it works. If MS continues this, it won't be good for anyone.

MS doesn't have any Duke Nukem's, TLG, or GT, legendary names of delays. I hope they never do. Alan Wait maybe.

True. But I was pretty upset that they canceled Fable Legends after having us beta test it for so long. They kept improving it, adding features, increasing the resolution, tons of feedback, got delayed and in the end, canceled. Those bastards! :( I really enjoyed it.

Crack Down
 
you forgot higher rated/bigger selling :)
Well, Sony hasn't released a GT game since 2013 (GT6). The soonest we will see the next GT game is 2017. We have NEVER seen a GT game on our PS4 in nearly the 4 years we will have had it by then.

And yet the slower selling Forza has given us Forza Motorsport 5, Forza Horizon 2, Forza Motorsport 6, Forza Horizon 3 and apparently Forza Motorsport 7 in 2017. That is with millions playing online still.

So you have millions of gamers enjoying a lower selling racing game, and millions of gamers not playing ANY the highest selling game.

BTW, Forza 6 is rated higher (87) than GT6 (81) (the most recent releases from both).

I don't know about you, but I would take playing a good game vs. not playing a good game.
