| Icy-Zone said: The issue is that there's a reason these publishers don't make their games exclusive to Steam: It's because consoles have a larger install base. And judging by preorders, I don't see the Xbox One having more exclusives than the PS4. The fact that MS isn't even clear on when and if they'll release in Japan reinforces this notion. 4 > 1 |
Just as I said, at the moment, XboxOne has more announced exclusives than PS4. And how this will play out in the future is completely up to Microsoft. If they are able to secure more third party exclusives due to the Steam-like approach, then they will potentially have a larger install base. However, if they fail to do so, then their install base will be smaller and they will lose outright. It all depends on MS, not Sony.
And sorry to say, the Japanese market is negligible at this point in time, especially for MS. I mean, do we really expect MS to do well in Japan after all this time?
