Quote What Sony gets and MS don't is that it is the online games that require connectivity and lots of friend circles that push most of the sales, exclusive or not. This is why Sony backed up Destiny heavily as it will help sell more PS4, and those people's friends will also buy one to stay in the circle. This is not a brand effect but rather "network effects", which is exactly why X360 was popular in the past. Sony uses the same tactics against MS this time around. Yes, not only the exclusives but online games like Destiny have been the true system sellers since the beginning of the 7th generation. |
Uhhhhh.... Microsoft doesnt get this? They have been utilizing this strategy since Xbox360 with Call of Duty.
More like Microsoft was heavily invested in Titanfall which released in March and didn't feel or think of the need to compete for the Destiny marketing rights. Because they thought that Titanfall was going to be their golden chicken.
