Forums - Gaming Discussion - Rumor Call of Duty AW "Marketing Deal" On Xbox One PS4 Will Be Definitive Console Version

 

Which Console Will Be Lead Platform

PS4 120 66.30%

WiiU 19 10.50%

Sledgehammer Games recently unveiled images and the first trailer for Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare which showcased among other things – EXO suits, futuristic weaponry, PMCs and the ever amazing Kevin Spacey. The visuals caught our attention above all as they appeared several tiers above last year’s Call of Duty: Ghosts. Best of all, the footage was all captured on the Xbox One. But is it the lead platform?

Industry insider Ahsan Rasheed, known as “thuway” on NeoGAF tweeted about the same and stated that, “Also I want to say one thing to all the Xbox One fans that keep telling me COD is X1 lead platform. It’s not. It’s a marketing deal.”

According to Rasheed, the studio that first created Call of Duty will focus on PS4. “Here’s the part you should pay attention to. Developers inside Infinity Ward prefer the PS4. Majority will use it to play at home.” Which is hard to deny – PS4 sales currently stand at 7 million units worldwide.

Rasheed continued, “Put that inside your head. The developers who made the game. Majority will play the game on PS4 at home with friends.”

When another user stated that that was for Infinity Ward and may not necessarily apply to Sledgehammer Games, Rasheed said, “So cute. If you think the PS4 version won’t be the definitive console version technically, I have some bad news.”

When developing for next gen consoles, doesn’t it make sense to focus on the most powerful one?

A) Easy to believe
B) Who actually cares?
C) Thuway is still full of shit.



 

Thuway is mostly bullshit so I don't believe his report.



id always assumed it would better on the ps4, but that the "lead console" was just a martketing term for who gets to hype it the most...

well, the more you know.



I am Torgo, I take care of the place while the master is away.

"Hes the clown that makes the dark side fun.. Torgo!"

Ha.. i won my bet, but i wasnt around to gloat because im on a better forum!  See ya guys on Viz

Interesting pretend exclusivity.......all marketing is Xbox only. DLC is timed Xbox.

Yet PS4 is lead platform and has higher resolution.......this may interfere with the marketing push



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

Thuway has a habbit of presenting his beliefs as fact. I don't doubt that the PS4 is the lead platform though, because it would make sense. Most people will be playing it on the PS4.



I hope the PS4 version won't be held down by the XO. I want the best experience possible and don't care that MS failed to release a product on par with the competition.



Wii U is a GCN 2 - I called it months before the release!

My Vita to-buy list: The Walking Dead, Persona 4 Golden, Need for Speed: Most Wanted, TearAway, Ys: Memories of Celceta, Muramasa: The Demon Blade, History: Legends of War, FIFA 13, Final Fantasy HD X, X-2, Worms Revolution Extreme, The Amazing Spiderman, Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate - too many no-gaemz :/

My consoles: PS2 Slim, PS3 Slim 320 GB, PSV 32 GB, Wii, DSi.

I believe PS4 will look better and it is very well possible that it is the lead platform but common, those guys didn't know that PS4 sold 7 million and Xbox One 4.x when they decided that PS4 or Xbox One will be the lead platform...



well since its thuway and he lies im going to go with that xbox is the lead now



Thuway sucks, he only has two types of leaks. Stuff that can never be proven wrong, and things that should be obvious to everyone.



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!
