It sells well enough on MS consoles to warrant GTA being on them. Though, I'm sure Rockstar would be willing to make a new IP that's exclusive to the PS4.

Nah, no fucking way. If there is one third party game that Sony cannot afford to make exclusive is this one, I'd say.

Maybe Micro could, if the gaming division could procure a special and huge amount of money from the company.



Nintendo is selling their IPs to Microsoft and this is true because:

This is why it's bad when one console sells disproportionally more than the others. There is no way this should happen

No, they coudn't make a remake exclusive (FFVII), or a game like Street Fighter, which they funded, exclusive. So why would they be able to make the biggest third party title ever exclusive? Pretty impossible.


FF7 is exclsuive as SONY is part owner of Final Fnatasy 7 and it wouldn't come to XBONE and they could cancel PC versions and as it is who is gonna buy FF7 on PC

As for STREET FIGHTER 6,I didn't know SONY funded it.if they did,again it wouldn't come to XBONE and PC could be canceled and as it is who is gonna play it on PC

 

so the argument it null and void


Like I'm genuinly curious who told you this?  Like did you come to this conclusion from interviews or financial reports or was it from a guy who knows a guy that has a aunt that works at sony or was it the fact that sice it was revialed at the sony conferance it has to be somewhat owned by them?  Cause last time I checked the only people who own the IP rights to final fantasy 7 is square themselves.  I mean the most likely situation if it is a "playstaion exclusive" is that they struck a deal with square to help develop and advertise the remake aslong as they dont bring the game to other competing consoles.  Leaving it to be sold on both computers and potentially Iphones when squares streaming service gets up to snuff and is able to handle streaming it.  But if that were the case it wouldnt be much of an exclusive since it would also be on two other platforms that vastly out number ps4 in terms of users.

It should happen if the company has a product that sells that well. People are decisively choosing what they want.

The PC version was only released in April and already sold at least 2.5 million copies, i.e. GTA V sells like hotcakes on all systems released. It would even sell excellently on Wii U.

In other words: No.

Not GTA, but it's possible Sony could buy the exclusive rights to release Red Dead Redemption 2.

Red Dead Redemption isn't big enough for SONY to spend alot for its exclusivity but i could imagine something happening there also

well that would be a hughe deal for Sony if they really have a part of FF7 and it doesnt come to X1, so im gonna ask you:

do you have any proof of this?

and

even if it doesnt come to X1 it still on PC, so yes it would be a big deal as a console exclusive but not as much as a full exclusive, that being said i doubt they can cancel a PC version, i mean why would they do that? they didnt do it for SFV so why for FF7?

i think it would be in their best interest to have it as a full exclusive but this companies seem to think that PC isnt competition when in reality it is, there are many PC gamers out there that arent buying consoles because they can get the games they want on the PC and if Sony and Microsoft keep doing this console exclusive deals, instead of full exclusives then this PC gamers may never end up buying a console becuase they can get those games on PC.

and just to be clear im not trying to argue with you, i just want to know were are you getting that information regarding FF7

SQUARESOFT,the developer of FINAL FNTASY series has had many financial problems in the past and SONY has helped them financially numerous number of times and also had a stake in the company as a whole which they sold last year

they helped them with FINAL FANTASY 7 development and funding,it is widely know.just google it

Thats why FINAL FANTASY 7 has never come to XBOX or Nintendo Consoles even after all these years.

 

FINAL FANTASY is pretty much a PLAYSTATION FRANCHISE and also a Console franchise,it coming to PC means nothing so its as good as an exclusive and the way FINAL FANTASY XIII series was released late on PC with mediocre sales,it will be the same on FF7 and might even cancel it

PC gamers might buy FF7 but they won't make anywhere near a dent in FF7 PS4 sales,you gotta be delusional to think so.Consoles don't need PC gamers,they have their own hardcore fans much more than PC fans and much much more casual audiences for sales

Could definitely happen, but not this generation.
