Why people are so damn sure it's going multiplat exactly???? If the game has the megaton potential people here are talking about I'm pretty sure MS will do everything to lock it down and has probably already built in clauses to enable that process smoothly in their initial agreement contract....

Being the best platform for FPS as much bad mouthing it got XB/MS last Gen for being a dudebro to console is non the less one of the best way to get seriously back in the sales race... Dudebro will at least buy both consoles if not jump ship mid Gen if the fps appeal is there..

MS has only one FPS IP and one TPS IP.

Nintendo will have a similar amount of shooters with Splatoon.

But Xbox is the dudebro console? Does that make sense?

Its considered the dude, bro console because Microsoft much like Activision EA aim commercially for the same market. Of course Sony has done the same, but has never penetrated shooter audiences like Microsoft has. When people buy shooters on Sony's console its mostly for the story and great gameplay, on Microsoft its purely for the multiplayer. Xbox Live is known for having the most competitive gamers on the platform for COD because of MLG and everything. Sony is considered to be the artsy fartsy company and sometimes that works to their detriment. Microsoft actively pursues FPS and MLG crowds and much like COD its something that Sony is going to have to learn how to make their platform seem as it has an equivalent offering.

Splatoon is going to be a strategic yet novel TPS. I love the concept. Its so Nintendo to surround themselves with new ideas much like Sony.
