lets use that annoying thing called common sense.... Let's assume that a publisher makes $40/game. On PS4 they stand to sell 4M copies of the game. That's $160M. On XB1 they stand to sell 2M copies of the game. That's $80M. Let's say both MS and Sony are willing to buy exclusivity for at least 1 year. You really think they would be charged the same thing considering how the game would have sold? |
1. Youre talking potential sales, Phillip is talking WW market share. They are not the same thing, nor are they as black and white as you make it seem to be. If MS makes a deal for a game that sells a bulk of its units in the US, why would that games publisher care about the Xbone getting crushed in Japan?
2. Even ignoring that common sense in point 1, there is still good reason for a publisher to take money from the smaller market. Its not going to affect sales of the PS4 version much, if at all, and it can increase the sales they'd see on Xbone, and they get monies from MS. Thats more common sense.
This thread is a joke already though with all the insults, Im out
