| Danman27 said: First comment. I never once said that. I'm saying, that I think it's stupid for a franchise that was previously all platforms to go exclusive, which alienates a large portion of the fans. Not false. Second comment. I don't get why people keep trying to draw parallels that don't exist between this gen and last gen. They're different generations. Just because the ps4 started out winning doesn't mean that it will end up losing like some people seem to think. That makes no sense. Each generation turns out differently. Could the xbox one eventually catch up and pass the ps4? Yes, it's possible. But ALL trends show that this won't happen at this point in time. The ps4 nearly doubles the xbox one's sales every single week. It makes no sense to assume that the xbox one is going to catch up at this point in time. You have to look at trends to make an educated guess, not just say, "well things could change!" If you had shown me when the wii had more sales than the 360 and ps3 combined, do you know what I would say? The wii is going to win substantially. But things changed. They may or may not change this gen. But no evidence currently suggests a shift despite Microsoft's best efforts. At the bolded comment. What are you even trying to say here? I feel like you're just trying to make your argument look more convincing by making it longer at this point. Also explain the two comments after that. I legitimately don't know what you're trying to prove at this point. And finally. The 80% I was talking about. We can eliminate Nintendo from the equation because tomb raider was never going to actually go for that. With sony haveing double the sales of the xbox one, 66% of the potential buyers would be on ps4. And this trend shows no sign of changing. Then when you factor in PC, you're easily alienating up to 80% of the previous fans of the game. |
I agree 100% that at normal situation exclusivity is not a very good idea. But it´s not the end of the world for God´s sake.
We don´t know how much money MS gave SE and at the end it could turn financialy bad for Microsoft if the game lacks traction sales.
Specialy if it´s timed. And it´s not the first time. Sony got Tomb Raider 2 out of Saga platforms. They got Final Fantasy out of Nintendo´s. They secured GTA 3 for the PS2 and MGS IV for the PS3.
Microsoft got Dead Rising 1 and 3, Titanfall, Splinter Cell Conviction, GTA IV expancions, etc...
I don´t think neither of those franchises are dead. Even Ryse could... rise from Crytek financial trobles.
