However, MS really doesn't have any alternatives because they have no real counters, with the exception of Halo 5 which is probably going to have to counter all of the PS4s exclusives at this point. Personally, I think timed exclusivity is a terrible reason to get a console ESPECIALLY with this embargo buggy release bullshit as of late, why in the hell would you want to get a game first is beyond me. So I guess its a biggish deal, but I doubt it will have very much payout. To be honest, I'd rather Square get burned for this, and honestly, it doesn't really hurt MS in any way so I'm actually for it. If SE wants to take EA's title from Ubisoft, be my guest. |
Yes, a large part that will ignore it if it released alongside UC4. At least now MS fans are more likely to buy it because their are fanboys who buy games purely to support their console of choice and being UC4's main rival they will be there in force. Then come its PS4 release people will have already played UC4 and will be ready to accept RotTR.
Sure for some such as myself who love TR and dont care for UC its a loss but hey with the marketing from MS and the extra cash hopefully it only helps TR grow.
Yes UC4 will win and we all know it, but TR has put itself in a better position now to sell more copies. It really has nothing to do with UC4 sales, Im sure SQEX dont care what UC4 does aslong as RotTR sells above expectations.
