Don't know why people keep saying that free Titanfall is a pricecut. Haven't seen any Sony fanboys claiming the PS4 got a price cut because of all the free PS+ games. By that logic the PS4 will eventually cost negative money because of the cumulative number of free games with PS+.


You are.... deliberately misconstruing what is goign on. Sony was just giving away free PS+ games anyway. This is a way of reducing the cost of getting the console and the most desired game for it - a backdoor price cut so they don't have to say 'We cut the price $60 just five months after launch.' Saving face.

Heh heh... backdoor. But seriously, you can be a Sony fan and still be reasonable about understanding this move, can't you?

You really think that? That MS only does this to not anger the early adopters? No one cares about the early adopters, not even the early adopters. By that logic everyone who bought an Xbox in Europe and didn't get free FIFA must be furious. Or ar you talking about the mainstream consumer who doesn't care about why a product gets a price cut?

They do this first to have a positive press buzz and second to push more potential buyers over the edge. Nothing wrong with that but it's rather a natural step than something exceptional or clever. They won't do this for coming games, let alone multiplats.It's a promotion for a game that is hyped anyway.

It's not about their early adopters - more like their stock price and the public perception of them.
