Why would Sony bother? Having PES as an exclusive isn't going to shift many units.

Hence, PES doesn't do well enough on Xbox to make it a desirable exclusive.

But maybe things could change if PES grows in popularity.

My point is PES is now better than FIFA so they have a game with potential to grow. PS4 exclusive and bundle can give it that bit of exposure it needs to start growing again. It could become something big with the help of SOny and then that benefits them if it's exclusive. 

My whole reasoning is it utterly flops on the Xbox so bad it would hardly make a diff even if they didn't get a deal with Sony. 

Right, it "flops" on Xbox. So there isn't much of a reason for Sony to jump on it. Now if it starts to perform better on Xbox then maybe Sony should consider getting some sort of exclusivity deal.

Why did MS get the next Tomb Raider as a timed exclusive? Because that series performs well on Playstation. See how this works?

Titanfall was a desireable exclusive because that could have sold really well on Playstation as well.

Sony aren't going to flog millions for exclusives they don't need. Plus MS have a terrible first party line up over all and need something to combat uncharted. I pointed out a cost effective way for both companies. It's basically possible because it sells 13 times more on PS4 compared to X1. That's never the case with 3rd parties. The usual SOny dominance is usually 2 or 3:1

And when MS bought titanfall exclusivity a ton of people thought he Xbox would sell more so i'd bet EA thought titanfall would have sold better on the Xbox. The reality is it would have sold a lot better on the playstation. But they didn't know that at the time of the deal so you can't bring that game up.
