(1)He didn't say that. Focusing on IP they own instead of IP they don't own is important to them in the long term.
(2) Sony will also have to pay more going forward, because in 6-7 years when the PS4 is 140M and the XBO is 70M, Sony will have to pay to keep it off of 70M XBO, which is 3x what the PS4 is now. (3)What are your expectations? They can't even keep No Mans Sky exclusive for more than a few months. SFV doesn't even get a timed exclusive with the PC version. It's same day. |
1- They are losing 3rd party exclusives like exclusive advertising, exclusive DLC, timed DLC, timed exclusives and full exclusives because MS will lose more money if they have to pay to keep it off of PS. As long as PS4 has the bigger market share it will always have the advantage because Sony can pay less for the deals.
Say if Sony want to make Watchdogs 2 exclusives. Ubisoft project it will sell 2M on PS4 and 1M on X1 and they want $10 for every lost sale if it went exclusive. Sony would have to compensate them $10M while MS would have to pay $20M. So Sony have a better chance of making the deal work and bring in extra money (shift more consoles,PS+ etc).
2 - This is totally irrelevant. Its about what the publisher project their game will sell on consoles. Of course bigger install base equals more softaware sales but it doesn't go up drastically over time. A game rarely sells over 5M on a single platform.
3 - Colours showing a little here. I'm not even sure what's your point here. Games going to PC? NMS going to PC? What is your point?
