Surely this has been done in other industries, but this is fairly new to gaming, or at least recently. Last gen only COD and GTA come to mind as major 3rd party games being heavily marketed so one-sided.

You don't think having a heavily PS vibe injected into Destiny marketing won't have a substantial impact on PS4 hardware/software sales? Because we are the minority, the in-the-know internet gamer. There is merit to this strategy, and it has been done by both sides.

Destiny is not GTA or COD. Those are the two big casual magnets. The games that parents know about. Destiny is not that.

I know....my OP explained the difference. It is Destiny's unknown factor compared to GTA and COD that make its "pretend exclusivity" factor all the greater.
