But I was told by some x1 apologists that opinions on gaming sites and social media were of such a minority they couldn't effect mass market sales.
Load of crap obviously social media is massive and companies do not ignore it.
I also know Sony aren't daft even if there was no system wide DRM in the first place they'd still let this viral campaign run riot as they can make out they listen and care.
A lot of sales sales and market share can be had by winning the hearts and minds on social media. |
If EA pulls support for PS4 (they seem to be the biggest ones pushing for it that would actually be willing to try to force the console makers) Sony could just demonize them and Xbox and advertise themselves as the good guys. I can only imagine all the media that would get and how much positivity it would generate for Playstation as a whole. Sure they would lose some hardcore Madden and Fifa guys, but would gamers really follow a company that was so blatant if Sony really hammered the point home? The bottom line is EA has made plenty of money this gen and they don't have always online or no used games so if Sony really put their foot down would EA be willing to bet the farm on MS (remember they don't have any WiiU games in the works) and PC? I don't think that will be profitable for them.

EA have no hold over MS, EA are going down hill fast boycotting Sony and losing half there market would destroy them completley. Ea played there last trump cards along time ago.

Yeah I really don't see how a game like BF could make it's money back if they made it for only Xbox especially if that console was demonized like I'm sure it would be if it were the only DRM and always on (check in whatever) console.
