How is MS first party better when they have no major exclusives for like 8 months next year? What do they have competing with bloodbourne and the order? Half their games "exclusives" come out on PC anyway. 

And I reckon Sony wouldn't moneyhat like MS do even if they could given how dominant the PS4 is WW. All they need is exclusive advertising and the game will dominate on Playstation. If MS get the advertising the game still sells more on Playstation and sometimes a lot more examples being Dragon, Age, Advanced Warfare and Fifa. So they are happy out. 

No it;s not because Titanfall is half a game for an online game. God that really was barebones stuff and it's no wonder the game has  been going for 5$ on BF and the xbox complete version going for 12$. There are very few people left playing the game at least before the firesale. And that's confirmed by countless owners on here. 

Yeah MS got the exclusisivity for Tomb Raider but it's not going to sway PS owners in big numbers. Obviously not now that we know it's only timed but it doesn't take a genius to know MS can only get most of their exclusives timed to begin with. Their true exclusive line up (games made by them) is very weak. 

And no PES going exclusive would be suicide for the franchise. It would just die. It sells well in Japan so there goes a lot of people that would never switch. And in the EU and ROW people would all switch to FIFA. That is a terrible idea and MS nor Konami would never do it because they would be signing the death  of it. But if they went with Sony only it could work out well for the franchise and that's without Sony moneyhatting. Their dominat platform is just a receipe for success.

When Sony had money they did moneyhat, that's all I'll say about that.

I missed on those Titanfall sales you're talking about because those were limited. Those sold out quickly, right?

I saw 4K people on the Titanfall servers before Black Friday. The only console shooters with bigger populations that are very popular shooters.

MS's true line up isn't amazing yet still better than what PS4 is offering at the moment.

I didn't say Tomb Raider was going to sway big numbers, but they aquired exclusivity because it will appeal to some and it should be a great game to push next holiday along with Halo 5.

If Konami was offered enough money to cover the cost of skipping Playstation they would do it. But don't worry, MS isn't interested.

Sony still have money. That's all I'll say about that. 

They were limtied but they lasted a long time. In the PC the whole of November even. The online was dead before BF (read this from xbox owners) and no surprise considering they released half a game. It has potential but just like Destiny the sequel would want to be a whole lot better. 

MS's first party line up involves a lot of games not made by them. That's what I'm talking about. Sony actually supported the PS3 into the very last year so a lot of their 3rd part developers were tied up. A good xample of this is Bloodbourne and The Order releasing next year. 

Tomb Raider would appeal to some yes and those Xbox owners will be please whether it was exclusive or not. Meanwhile they pissed off a lot of Sony fans who will now wait for the game. A better option that this would be to use the money spent of timed exclusivity and spend it on a brand new game PS4 owners would be jealous of and will never get. That way Xbox owners are happy with tomb raider and even happier with their new MS exclusive. 

Basically MS are being lazy and sadly they have the money to do so. Another great example of this was the 50M spent on timed GTA 4 DLC. They could have made 2/3 AAA games with that money. Bad practice and bad for the industry that. 

It would have to be a ridiculous amount of money because going xbox exclusive will kill the franchise. I don't get why you're too stubborn to agree with me on this. You say if they got enough money to cover the cost of PS they would make it Xbox exclusive yet you don't think if they went PS exclusive and got enough bundles to cover the xbox profit they wouldn't do it? 

And the deal wouldn't be so simple for MS. They can't just pay the money Konami would make off PS. In that case they would just stick with PS get the same money and keep all their fans happy. That deal is doing massive damage to their game so they would demand 10 times the money they would make off Playstation. 

As you said MS isn't interested and the reason being nobody from Playstation is gonna get an xbox just for it and secondly the game wouldn't sell so it will be a big waste of money. 

Tomb Raider also a waste now that it's widely known PS4 will get it.
