It's no doubt way, way, way cheaper than purchasing a year's worth of timed exclusivity for a major title and yet it does make the PS4 version of a game more enticing. If I had to guess, I'd bet that a lot of this is in return for promotional consideration rather than upfront money. More importantly, this is adding value for Playstation fans. How is that not a good thing? As gamers, what do we get from exclusivity? Some of us get nothing beyond what we would have gotten in the first place, while others have to wait for a year or don't get a particular game at all. That kind of sucks. By negotiating for additional content, Sony is basically giving us a reward. Looking forward to seeing what the exclusive Destiny content will be. |
I agree, but it is also a bit misleading to put it into this format. It sounds like a whole lot, but it really isn't that big when you think that exclusive content can be something as simple as having the touch pad on the PS4 controller replace some minor game mechanic.
