So last generation, we know Microsoft abused their dominance in the home console market to money whore 3rd parties into making deals with their console. I, as well as many other people protested about this, as it was used as an excuse to not make 1st parties. This generation, Sony has done the same thing. With COD BO III, SW: BF, MGS V, pretty much everything except for Fallout 4 is all with Sony. Now I don't understand why this is fine. Sony fans are saying this is a great thing, saying COD is back in revival, how it'll sell more consoles than Halo 5. They say how SW: BF will sell millions more on the Playstation, and will have DLC first... Now Microsoft is too blame for this as well, but they've been focusing much more on 1st parties this gen, and have let go most 3rd paty deals.

Anyway, I hate it. Not because I waste my money on DLC, but because of the same reason's I hated it last gen with the 360. It also gives the other platform a big pile of shit. Oh and no, I'm not buying a PS4 for DLC first, so don't bother. Anyway, look back at E3. How many exclusive games did Sony show for 2015? Now not 2016, because that's next year. How many where shown for 2015... one. It was no man's sky, and it was a 2 minute demo. That's it! People can say how they have a great lineup this year, but clearly Sony doesn't think that, as it didn't bother showing them off. It was 2/3 third party "exclusive" deals, and the rest for 2016 and 2017.

Now E3 is done, so we don't need to talk too much about that. But do you see the pattern. Sony is doing the same thing Microsoft did last gen. Now you could say that's not true, but compare to what we saw with the PS3, and what we're seeing with the PS4 in terms of 1st party content, you can't compare. You could also say Sony is in a dominating position, but so was the 360. It didn't matter then, why does it matter now. Anyway, the fact is, these deals are terrible to the industry. It makes one fanbase milked to death, while another one left out to dry. Its terribly sad, and I hope this ends for good soon!

 

Edit: I have added Microsoft to make it more fair to Sony's fanbase.
