OT - i'd have to got back to the E3 conference footage but i think the statment on stage was something like "destiny will always have more content on playstation". i wouldn't be surprised if the content that launches this year on playstation comes to xbox the same day a fresh batch of content comes to playstation. in that way, a year of exclusivity could make sense. |
I wouldn't say he's the best example. With the amount of publicity and marketing Sony has been giving the Witness, they may as well have handed him a fat wad of cash. I see it as no different than the marketing deals first parties strike with third party publishers.
OT: Seems like the only ones who should be excited about this game are Playstation gamers, as ActiBungie clearly don't give a flying rat's ass about the rest of us. -_-
