| Viper1 said: I do agree the history of the circumstances if rather ironic. They release the previous title to consoles with a combined total sales of well in exceed of 100 million units and then admit the game still didn't sell enough copies at over 6 million sold and now they are going to release a new title exclusively to a console that has fewer actual units in homes than the previous title itself sold? |
Well, look to it like this...
The reboot was very expensive because they use a lot of money to create the new engine, but now that it is done and polished for new-gen (using definitive edition budget), the new games should be cheaper to produce.
Add that MS should have payed a good amount of money and secure them some promotional muscle so it can compete with Uncharted 4 release that is around the same time in 2015.
And last, but not least, it is most likely a timed exclusive and it could arrive to the PS4 a few months later when Uncharted 4 fever has reduced and sell a good amount of additional units.
It is almost a win-win situation for them and it makes sense, and the only negative is that it got them some backlash with some Sony fanboys that most likely will buy the game anyway when is available for the PS4, if as we are hoping is a good title in the first place.
