.....Oh buddy you can not be serious....if you think all those games are exclusive.......you couldn't even fathom how much money that would costs, espically from the western studios. No. Just no.


According to Nightengale:

"With Verendus, it's better for your heart to focus on his near-term teases, than be too engrossed on his "late-gen" teases.

Of those he's teased that can be attributed to him and no other insider, SFV, Yakuza localisation, DQ spinoff (Heroes), FF spinoff (Dissidia) all have been true.

The next on the list is presumably JRPG#1 and #2."

 

I'm well aware how much games cost to make, or how much these deals cost with 3rd party publishers.

Let's not forget that Sony are the ones selling the vast majority of 3rd party software, they're planning for years on PS4, each year requires a slew of exclusives when we get into the meat of a generation and that's how Sony works, they build up steam at the beginning of the generation and then it's a constant stream of exclusives for their platforms, in a wide variety of genres, so they can draw in the biggest crowds of gamers.

This is exactly how they dominated in the PS1, PS2 days and why they caught up with the 360 so quickly last gen.

It's not realistic to think Sony wouldn't be going huge on exclusives, especially when they have huge revenue coming from 3rd party software sales, they definitely have the money for this kind of investment and they absolutely would capitalize on their position within the market.

 

I'm not saying all of Verrendus's predictions are going to pan out, even if he was the most solid and biggest fountain of real information about Sony's inner workings deals do change, projects get cut for whatever reasons.


I know some are exclusives, like I said the JRPGs are exclusive but you are saying all of those games are exclusive, and that is just ridiculous.

And I'm not doubting Verendus, I trust him. And I really really really really really really think you don't know how much games costs these days. Because if you did, you would see how much money that would cost and you'd realize what a crazy thing you said.
