Sony Explains Destiny's Exclusives

Dated August 28, 2013: This is an interview with Jim Ryan, President and CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE). [b]In this article he [i]briefly[/i] clarifies that Destiny will have [u]timed[/u] exclusives on Playstation as well as hardware bundles of some sort.[/b] He also explains the relationship between Activision, Destiny, and Playstation. Basically, their desire to offset the Xbox/COD push with a PS/Destiny push. Here are the standout quotes: [quote]Another publisher, Activision, has (and will continue to) release map packs first on Xbox for their Call of Duty games, but when it comes to Destiny, PlayStation will be king, as Jim explained: "We’ve carefully selected titles where we feel it’s appropriate to partner with a third party. So Activision, yes, are doing stuff on Call Of Duty with Microsoft. However, we are partnering with Activision on Destiny. And you know Destiny is a new IP from Bungie and there’s gonna be stuff that is exclusive to the PlayStation SKU for a window of time and there’s gonna be a lot of PlayStation-branded marketing collateral and there’s gonna be PlayStation hardware bundles." Delving deeper into the advantages of partnering with a new IP, Jim added: "So, Destiny isn’t a launch title but it’s pretty much an exact offset to what Activision is doing with Microsoft and I would argue that as new IP coming from Bungie I would rather be in a position of having a long term relationship with Activision on Destiny than on Call Of Duty, which has obviously been around for a very long time."[/quote]
