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. |
Those two statements contradict each other. How can Microsoft get the "network effects" by introducing internet connectivity with the 360, as you pointed out, but somehow not get it with their later console, the XB1, eight years later?
