Only America matters because that is the only place Xbox is competitive(and UK too I guess, but not as well).

I thought Sony but maybe that's just in EU.

It's definitely Xbox, and they have exclusive content in the form of Ultimate Team Legend cards.

I can see Fallout coming out this year Skyrim was announced December 2010 and released November 2011.

Has Bethesda ever done console-specific marketing in the past? Oblivion and the 360 comes to mind but that was before the PS3 even existed.

Fifa marketing hasn't ever helped Xbox as far as I know. Even giving it away for free didn't help

That was last year. Not saying MS don't have it this year and they may well have a multi year deal on it, but outside of CoD, marketing deals flip flop about for these big yearly games.
The game hasn't been announced yet so neither will a marketing deal be known yet unless it was stated in some PR a while ago about a multi year deal.

I don't think so, but then the quality (or lack thereof) of their ports on PS3 kinda did it for them.

Only in the USA, unfortunately. Sony pays attention to everyone worldwide, not just you Americans.

Well Bethesda has nothing this year outside of ESO and Wolfenstein DLC if im correct. So i think they would want to at least ship a big game this year.
Money is not.

Yeah they might give up this year on a non U.S. centric deal since Sony has Europe on lockdown.

It's all about positioning (spin) for shareholders.

Fallout, Elder Scrolls were all Xbox tied last gen with timed DLC.
Sony had some marketing deal/timed beta for the Elder Scrolls beta (although like the game itself, not sure whats happening anymore with that now. But I'm sure they'll be trying to chase down marketing for the next Fallout or whatever, just like MS. Though if I remember correctly, didn't Sony say something about a deal with Bethesda last E3 or something?

Always with Xbox. FO3 and Skyrim were co-marketed with MS. NV probably was as well, but i'm not completely sure about that one.

No bells ringing. But if they did, watch it be for Dishonored 2.
NPD doesn't count bundles. Destiny had a PS4 bundle which sold like crazy in September and I'm assuming it sold decently into the holidays as well.

Most recent is actually ESO and that's marketed for Playstation, before it crashed and burned.
Only reason xbox is competitive is due to brand loyalty right? At least according to Nielsen poll?

But it is you cant use dollars in Europe
My £10 and £20 notes are region-locked.

Top seller by how much? NPD doesnt track bundles, so the arguement that destiny sold more on xbox one might not be valid.

Isn't that because NPD don't track bundled games?

Isn't No Man's Sky this fall just a beta?
No.

Nor does NPD track digital sales.
I don¡t expect No Man Sky this year
I can see NMS being the launch title for Morpheus next year.

It's the PSN games which have me excited most now that I really think about it. RIME, Wild, NMS and alienation are games I'm really looking forward to, I would say that of the games announced this year Tearaway is the one I would like to play most. These kinds games have a lovely uniqueness to them which I don't see in the full retail releases. Playing Far Cry 4 right now and Ubisoft need to evolve their games, I can't believe it pretty much is the case of me liberating fucking bell towers again and again.
NMS looks like a game with no direction but it's so weird that I'll probably love it, a bit like noby noby boy.

Worldwide PS4 will destroy xbox again, and the salt and cries of "no games" will reach galactic proportions.
You know, what we call a Tuesday.

It isn't an assumption anymore. Go watch the trailer.

they'll have something and if they dont all the 3rd party games are still better on ps4. I don't see a scenario in which most people would ever want an xbone over a ps4 TBQH

Why would that be disaster though? Halo and TR will still sell a ton for MS. And the hardcore XBox gamers are still going to play Battlefront on the X1 where their friends are. Exclusive marketing a nice get for Sony, but I think we're overestimating how much that's really going to impact Xbox gamers from not buying games on the X1 during the Holiday.
For NMS we know it will come to PC later, no word on XBO lately. Axiom Verge will be on PC later this year (May??), no word on XBO.
