I wonder if Bungie, From Studios and Hello Games are all good heart people that pay their workers with ice-cream.

So, don´t expect more than 3 or 4 exclusives a year for PS4.

Bloodborne is Sony owned IP, Sony is publishing the game. Owning and publishing your own IP that is just made by a 3rd Party is different then moneyhatting games away from other systems.

Bungie, I imagine there is some amount of money being transferred here. Yet I also feel like aligning with Sony is more of a marketing tactic for Bungie/Activision. This allows them to distance themselves from Halo yet make grabs to those those games might have appealed to but never got to play them. Playstation is uncharted territory for them. Not to mention COD/Titanfall/Halo are all vying for the same spotlight on the same console while Bungie is able to shine unhindered by similar games. If you look at 2014 holiday lineup, Sony does not have a single exclusive FPS slated, as they are giving Destiny a lot of room to flourish on their console alone. If I were a betting man I'd say Destiny will be close to 3:1 in PS4's favor.

Hello Games, I don't think Moneyhatting is what is going on here. I think Sony jumped at the opportunity to assist them translating their game to console with the understanding that the game would be timed exclusive for PS4. Console market for all intents and purposes is larger than PC market. I'm sure Hello Games jumped at the idea as well. I mean they basically dangled the bait to see who would come at last year's VGAs and Sony knocked first.
