Why should they?
| Intrinsic said: Nothing lazy or cheap about this. its just business. and one that can be afforded by having the larger install base. Trust me, MS would be all over this if they could. It just makes zero financial sense for MS now to secure or keep these deals cause they lack the install base to back it. And this "moneyhat" thing people throw around. that's just not how it works. Take Sony for instance. By the time COD releases this year they would have an install base of at least 30M. Now let's say they sell 8M copies of the game on the PS4. That's about $160M in royalties money to Sony. and say they paid Activision $30M in Lexclusive content and marketing moneyhat. that still leaves them sitting on $130M in profits with the added benefit of moving more consoles and guaranteeing even more sales for the next installment in the franchise. That extra boost to their install base also means more games are bought in general which translates to more money all round. Its the easiet and most effective kinda marketing there is. Lastly, you need to understand something.stand I don't get this nonsense of how deals deprive others from getting this or that. If u want to get everything, then have the console(s) that has everything. If whatever exclusive content that comes to a multiplat game matters to you, then that is the version of the game you should buy. and if you don't have the console for it, then buy the console. Which ultimately will mean the money hat served its purpose. |
Exclusivity deals on multiplatform games deprives people from content that really shouldn't be delayed to begin with. For example, delaying map packs on Call of Duty has always been a dirty practice and has absolutely no benefit for the consumer. This type of deal seems to becoming more common, which is a loss for the consumer.

As a multiplatform owner it sucks for me, all those multiplatform deals adds nothing for me and is money that could have been used for something else...
The only BS things about this is withholding content from the other console, like Sony has done, year long dlc, which sony has done. Causing MS to respond by getting Tomb Raider console exclusive for a year.
Sony's move now. They are already advertising so hard in America CoD "get on ps4 to play DLC 30 days first" When MS would just say "play dlc first on XBL" Sony trying super hard in American with no major exclusives.

Sony learned from the Xbox 360's marketing team, and now it's there fault that Microsoft still does it?
At least this message made me smile. Microsoft taught Sony how effective this is.

Idc whose fault it is. It will get worse and worse and less first party games willl result as a cause. Sony is not being smart about it atm imo.
As long as it doesn't involve fucking over PC then I'm fine with whatever, even though I still see it as a dirty practice in general.

MS had a massive lead and the deals started coming when they slowed down on first party content and when Sony started putting out a massive list of first party, AAA, exclusives. It's more of the opposite now but 2016 seems okay for Sony in terms of first party. Taking their sweet time.
But MS has deals for Fallout and the only console getting The Division multiplayer next month, Dark Souls 3 and many more lined up. They are also getting parity in graphics for many of the big games.
Sony is a little late to the DLC party with CoD as those numbers have been on a massive decline for awhile now. Though Treyarch is the only CoD developer that is good.

Nope last gen the 360 was the best platform for multiplatform games.
Yaaaaay, more console exclusive bullshit penalizing you for having one system over another.
