I think it's bad because it loses the focus. What's the point in showing off a game for your console if everyone knows it's also going to be in the competition's hardware?
The way I see it, if Microsoft is having a conference to show off the Xbox One, their objective is to make people want to buy an Xbox One, especially in this early stage of a new generation. If I watch a conference where they mostly show stuff that the PlayStation 4 also has - and more importantly, even last-gen systems and PC have -, it won't get me interested at all.
Third parties also have their conferences and places to show off what they're doing, that's where multiplatforms belong. The console manufacturers need to focus on what they have that others don't. |
Not at all. Especially early in a generation, the goal is to make people want to upgrade. To accomplish that, you give them as many reasons as possible.
This is partially why the Wii U is failing. People are looking at what it has to offer and saying, "not enough." Showing off multi-plats just adds to the reasons why someone would want to buy a new console, then the exclusives reel them in to your console. Otherwise, you just get people thinking that they'd like to get one but it's just not worth the money. That's the space the Wii U has lived in almost since launch.

I don't see how any PS3/360 owner would want to pay $400 to get a console that runs enhanced versions of the game they're already playing. Every single multiplatform coming out for both PS4/Xbone is also being released on the previous gen consoles (barring the Wii obviously) and PC. The Wii U is not failing because of a lack of multi-platforms, it's failing because it appealed to a market that's not interested in consoles anymore and because of it received a very bad image. It's got nothing to do with games at all.
The Xbox One and ESPECIALLY the PlayStation 4 are selling purely because of word of mouth and hype. PS3/360 owners don't buy the successors because of games, it's simply because they want to upgrade. Most Wii owners, on the other hand, were casuals who have moved to mobiles.

You sure about that? Why then did Watch Dogs on PS4 far outperform it's PS3 counterpart? Also, the next Assasins Creed is only on next gen consoles so there goes your bolded

you can add batman, the division, rainbow 6, and witcher 3 to that list, all have the potential to sell a huge amount of consoles if marketed properly.
