no it doesn't make sense business wise releasing to a smaller user base ever. Ever. And it's silly how people think Sony or even ms will throw money at ever publisher to "help with dev" whenever the word exclusive comes up. With games like these or with publishers in general, they would always consider where they stand to gain the most and if everything else is worth the investment. Outside NA, all these devs know that the XB1 is dead, with exception to Europe, so these games will most likely release in NA and Europe for both the PS4 and XB1. but outside that, there is no point cause the game may very well be exclusive to the PS4. Take mgs5 or FF15, there is zero sense for them releasing on the XB1 in Japan cause by the time those games are out the XB1 wouldn't have broken 50k sales in that region. PS4 exclusive by default. |
Sure it does, when the benefits out weight the cons.
Especialy if the were to have some strategy to try and become the clear choice for certain types of games, ones which exclusivity would cost to much as they are more niche then mainstream yet would make a differene in seperating the PS4 from its nearest competition. Liek in figthing games, where they already got SF. Woulndt hurt to be known as the defacto fighting game console.
