Currently, in "Live from Playstation" app on PS4, Bloodborne has more streams than 5 other games combined [GTA5, COD:AW, Destiny,Hardline and Fifa15], while on Twitch it has over 26k streams, #5 spot behind LoL & CSGO [which have active tournaments currently], Hearthstone and "Music".

Nothing really. Microsoft has marketing deal for Witcher 3 which will come out in ~50 days, but even with that I presume most of the sales will be on PS4.
PS4 has MLB in few days, but after that it has only few exclusive PSN titles [Broken Age, FFX remaster, Magica 2,...] until summer when Until Dawn and GoW3 Remaster will be out. As usual, multiplatform titles will push PS4 sales until big AAA games arrive.
Sony has Batman marketing deal in June

I'm really curious how effective these marketing deals are. When I'm watching an ad on TV for Battlefield, Call of Duty, Destiny or whatever, the platform holder logo for the final second is the least I take away.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Battlefront only marketed by EA. I can imagine they are on a very light leash with regards to marketing and publishing from Disney.

Interesting post by GAF member [URL='http://www.neogaf.com/forum/member.php?u=225805']ZhugeEX[/url] regarding PS4 sales in China.
The Xbox One had a limit on what could be sold with its initial regulatory approval. Did Sony have something similar?
Back in October I think it was mentioned they will be limited to 200k units for launch. If this has changed since then I'm not sure. A quick google search couldn't find any numbers, but I'm sure Sony will release the numbers at some point.
Good luck to them in China. I hope both companies find a level of success and profitability where it means more games for the rest of us. I'm eager to see how consoles sell in Chin in the course of a few years. They can either fiddle or find great success, especially given the population and the millions with rising disposable income year after year. If PS4 does end up being a hit then I think it possible to outsell PS2 worldwide in its lifetime.

I don't remember this. Do you perhaps have a link?

On the otherhand, considering the PS4's launch library in China, I'm pretty shocked it seems to be selling at all. What are these Chinese gamers actually playing?

From the link:
Sounds less of a government imposed hard limit on shipments, and more of an intended expectation for shipments by Sony themselves, no?

Chinese Xbone players can purchase only local digital games and play physical disc games coded to the Chinese region. Since launch, no new games were released in China.
Chinese PS4 players can purchase only local digital games, but can play any physical disc games they can find. PS4 is region free for physical games, and they can even normally contact users/servers outside of China [they can't however log in into foreign PSN stores/create foreign accounts].
So I presume, they are playing a lot of imported games.
200k per annum?! That's all Sony are expecting to shift? That must be launch number and a misreporting.
Has to be some mistake. There was report that China approved sale of 5 million xbones.

This report was made before we got indication that Xbone is not selling that hotly there.

I think it is the initial shipment. It is an error.
