"This is basically Sony's game, guys, which is why I personally find it so intriguing to see Microsoft beating them at it.
Sony was the first company to succesfully open the wallet to pull out exclusive titles. Paying direct cash, paying for development, advertising... its worked wonders for Sony in the past.
I just was saying in another thread that Sony needs to change their model, because Microsoft plays that game too, and they have much deeper pockets. Then I come across this.
Sony could drop the price of the system (which costs money), pay companies for exclusives (ditto), or buy up development houses (ditto), all of which seem to be the core of their current plan -- but they need to do something else, because if their main strategy is money and the willingness to burn it, Microsoft has them beat in spades. "
==> so right guy,
so we know that GTAIV exclusivity is the best weapon of MS ...
What I don't like is that game was suppose to be Sony exclusivity since the first episode (on PS right ?) and now it is like it becomes multiplateform (OK, expected) with a MS exclusive content !!!
so bad,
MS are just stealer "concept", they don"t create anything (except Halo)
they just copy Sony strategy using more money than them
When Sony begin is consle story they have taken FF from nintendo but that is all !!! (no ?)
and they were already winning before FFVII came out ...
(feel free to comment if u think Sony is as bad as M$)
whatever, I know that GTA IV is the most waited game
losing this exclusivity is losing the war for sony
(note that i 've never played to GTA, i don't expect it at all, but i know this game is THE system seller)
well, fight will be really hard for Sony
Time to Work !
