If you already have a PS4, why would you care about there not being many exclusives at a time when there are multiple big third party games releasing every week? Seems better to me to release most exclusives outside of the holidays, which is what Sony is largely doing.


This. I find MS's system of loading everything on the holidays silly. Most of the big AAA game release Sep-Nov. Why would you put an exclusive in there. When people are buying a console they are taking into account the entire library. It might help a little if you have more exclusives fresh on the consumers minds but what matter more around the holidays is deals. That is why the XB1 had a good holiday 2014, people saw it as a good deal. FH2, Sunset OD, MCC had very little to do with it (as shown by the sales of those games).

If someone is buying a new console this year they have a library of over 2 years to consider.

I wholly agree; I've been spacing out, Far Cry 3, Destiny, FC3: Blood Dragon, Bloodborne, Far Cry 4, DLCs, and my PS3 backlog (FFXIII) with the spaced-out releases. It really does me no good to buy 6 games at Christmas and priotize and play them. By the time I'm done with FC 4 and/or BB, the new Destiny DLC will launch; meanwhile, Batman will be out soon after, and I haven't touched MLB: TS or The Order.
