| Mr Puggsly said: And Sony loses a lot of money every quarter. Lets move on. I am a Xbox owner and I'm telling you the population in Titanfall is not dead. The reality is most console shooters have declined in population. But the genre isn't dead. Multiplayer only and single player only games are not half a game. Your arguments on Titanfall are weak. Sony exclusives also include games not made by them and Sony also spends a lot of money advertising games they didn't make. Is that laziness? Are they not confident in advertising their games? Who knows. The Tomb Raider exclusivity is probably more of an effort to sway people that haven't upgraded to next gen. Many people buying X1 this holiday are doing so because MS did something to sway them. Tomb Raider should help next holiday as well. Actually, the $50 million for GTAIV DLC was an advance. Hence, much of that had to be paid back. If they actually paid $50 million it probably would have stayed exclusive. $50 million for 1 year exclusivity is not a great deal. Okay, MS would just have to pay to cover the sales AND a little bonus. Simple as that! Anyhow, its not worth it for MS. So lets just move on. |
Not from the subject at hand, which is their games console unlike MS. You really should move on! It's not a multiplayer only game and it's a weak effort at both. Fiar enough if they just went with the online but even that is half baked. It's not the first time I've heard dead populations on Xbox games. There was a guy on here a while ago who sold his Xbox for a PS4 because he plays COD in Australia and he said he could hardly get a game for half the modes. That's ghosts on the X1. PS4 no problem at all and he switched consoles for that. The reality is if Titanfall was selling well enough the price would have been slashed. Hell even Infamous second Son is still a good bit more expensive. I'm pretty sure the online of the game is similar to Killzone, yes I can get a game but it's hardly booming and some of the modes you can't get full games anymore. That game was also slashed in price so it all makes sense to me.
Sony does advertise other peoples games but they also advertise their own. Nothing lazy about that they just want to advertise a wide variety of games. Same as MS. many people who are upgrading to the X1 are doing so as a result of the firesale that began in November. Forza, Sunset did nothing for Hardware sales and they were good exclusives. Hell even the over hyped Titanfall had to be given away for free and it couldn't beat the PS4. That tells me that tomb raider won't sway too many people either especially when it's fans on PS know it's coming in 2016. The reality is a much cheaper xbox swayed people. It's the only way MS has a chance against the superior console.
They may have got some of that $50M back but the reality is MS have done a lot of things similar that ultimitely are not exaclty worth it. They'd be a lot more popular if they spent more of their moneyhatting money on new dev teams like sony has done and get more first party games out. Instead of going for established franchises that just piss people off.
They done a huge deal for GTA IV as you know and how did that fare for them when GTA 5 came out? PS3 version sold way more. Just shows you that the world of PS is not exactly shook by this massive waste of funds. It just gives MS an image worse then they already had. Now lets move on good sir!
