Id blame Sony for this more than MS. MS paid for more "Exclusive Rights" than Sony did.

Id back the any horse (wrong or not) if it paid me enough to do so.

lol Sony is to blame because of a contract 2 other companies signed between themselves?


I guess you could read it that way.  Based on the OP though, if you have to blame someone for Sony not having more "Exclusive Content" or "Having the Publishers Guess wrong..." its on Sony.  They could have kept/gained/bought more Exclusive Content, but they decided not to.  There are a large number of instances that things are "Exclusive" that is because of Sony, not because of the Publisher/MS (EA Access, Titanfall, Maybe even Tomb Raider for all we know). 

No, if the guess is wrong, its on the person that made the guess, not the event which they guessed on. Personally I dont think anyone is to 'blame'. Its a business deal, some go very well, some dont.

Entering a bidding war for exclusives with MS would be foolish. Sony should offer what they think is the right amount, if MS want to pay more than how much sony value a certain exclusive at, they probably have to because they are the ones playing catch-up, not sony.

I think Sony have played the paid exclusivty card better. With small add-ons that hardly matter, they got games like destiny and farcry to sell much better on PS4, whereas MS are securing timed exclusivity but are not really getting significantly greater sales in hardware or software.
