All it said was "60 minutes of exclusive gameplay only on PS4". If this game was a PS4 exclusive (or was meant to make people think that), that wouldn't be 60 minutes of exclusive gameplay....it'd just be "gameplay" since no other versions would be out to compare it to what's "exclusive to PS4".

That little blip at the end implies other versions exist, but only on PS4 do you get the bonus content.


There is no implying when you have a shot like this:

Nobody would think this is also on another system. People would think PS4 exclusive content, otherwise PS3 version.

Not naming the existence for other game systems makes it appear as PS exclusive to most people out there.

Honestly, I don't think it matters if nobody would think it was also on another system. You may say that it's deceiving because it "claims exclusivity by omission of other versions"....but the advert never at any time says "this game is only on PS4". All it really says is that this is a game you can play on PS4 and the PS4 has exclusive content.

In an age where 95% of games are multiplatform, is there no longer any wonder to a game being on multiple systems just because only one console is mentioned at the end of an ad? If people saw this ad: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r6n5lDaZAMk, would they think it wasn't on any consoles, since none were mentioned? Or maybe they'll think it's exclusive to XBone because of this: http://www.ispot.tv/ad/7rVF/gamestop-xbox-one-madden-nfl-15-bundle-future-deluxe-stadium or this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l97GSO_0hrE with no mention of other consoles??
