I simply wish this title improved more. I remember being blown away ten years ago but this title bores me now. MLB the Show 15 only sold 520,000 copies on the PS4. That was less than MLB 14 too and they don't get a Christmas/holiday bump since their season is long over. Those are very small numbers for a AAA title. They simply imply the Show is not a good money maker and I feel that the Show dev team is small as a result and that's why you don't see big changes.

NBA 2K 15 sold over 2 million PS4 units and this year has already reached 1.68M before Christmas and will far exceed 2M. Madden 15 sold 1.68M on the PS4 and they are almost at 1.5M before Christmas. FIFA 16 has sold over 5 million games now! The only thing the Show can compete with is NHL where NHL 15 sold 510,000 copies on the PS4. Let's face it, the big boys that move games get a bigger budget and can improve more. If you thought Madden moved slowly that's nothing compared to a lower budget baseball title.

Here is the thing that Show fanboys can't explain. How is the NBA video game so much more popular than a baseball game? NFL ranks #1 in fan surveys as the favourite sport by MLB ranks ahead of the NBA (although having to only pick one sport hurts this area). TV ratings between the NBA and MLB are comparable so why is there such a massive discrepancy between the video game sales? I do think the NBA lends itself to gaming better but the harsh truth is the Show has not evolved. It's no longer fresh and worse yet, it's no longer as fun for the casual fan. Note: Madden deserves criticism here too since NBA 2K is beating them and the NFL is easily the most popular sport.
