Souls is huge with the core community. There's next to nothing MS could show to outdo it unless, as I said, it's something absolutely huge like GTA or Fallout (which isn't happening). Nintendo still has Zelda though.


Unfortunately for that analogy, the souls community is NOT just PS players. Making this a PS4 exclusive is going to fracture that pretty badly and isn't a reliable "core" since the game is no longer (as it has been for two itterations) hitting the same audience accessability.

It being announced this early means that Souls fans looking to upgrade can now make a choice knowing which console will be the definitive home for the Souls series, so in that sense it's good that they get the news out there. 

Right, but its still splitting the community. The community that has been built over the last two years over PS, Xbox, and PC, (and will keep building over the years till BeaS releases) is now going to get shattered and I hardly doubt anyone but the most dedicated are going to roll out several hundred dollars for a PS4 and, as such, the "core community" is not an appreciable or continuous term to apply here.
