  • I disagree man. For the simple fact that i would like to see more done with the ps4 touch pad. A lot of ps4 games dont utilize it because it would be 'unfair' since the other consoles dont have it. And i think exclusives make for good competition between devs and the industry as a whole. Competition means games will get better. Thats just my opinion tho. [spoiler]although the console war thing... yeah THAT needs to die soon.[/spoiler]

  • But for a business aspect your losing out on a bigger player base which means more sales. Let's say for example there is 10 million players on ps4 and 7 on Xbox one. That's a possible 7 million in sales. In this economy you can't afford to lose sales

    Theirs a big reason why they don't care. Lets use the upcoming Halo 5: Guardians as an example. The Xbox One and PS4 (According to VGChartz) have sold 11.1 million and 18.6 million respectively. So why miss out on putting halo on the PS4 when you would over double your potential playerbase? Well there are a few reasons 1. (Purchase of an Xbox One + H5 =/= Purchase of just H5) Basically they want you to buy there console to play the game, because in the long run it means more revenue for them. 2. (They want to get the console in your home) The same reason why the Xbox One has went on sale during the holiday season and ultimately stayed on sale afterwards. Once you have the console in your home, even if the company took a loss on selling it to you, their inital goal was accomplished. 3. [Kinda The Same as #1] (In The Long Run The Make More Money On You) Its why exclusives exist at all. You buy the console to play the exclusive game you want, you buy that game, then you continue buying other games for the console, you buy additional hardware for the console, you buy an online service subscription for the console, and suddenly you are a part of the ecosystem and they are making far more money on you than if they had just sold you the game.

  • Yeah youre right there! But thats not what i mean i could care less how much they make. But when The Last of Us dropped xbox had to answer with an exclusive so people didnt go buy a ps3 to play last of us. Thats kinda what i mean, if xbox drops an.exclusive that is all the rage i get excited cuz that means sony is probably goin to answer xbox's exclusive with one of their own.
