| thismeintiel said: This. Looks like Phil is slipping back into old MS habits. The fact is, the higher an install base is compared to its competition, the easier it is for the higher selling console to get 3rd party exclusives. For larger companies, it could just mean helping them pay for advertising, or paying to include their game in a bundle. For smaller/medium sized companies, it could mean giving them nothing more than a little promotion on their stage and/or Youtube page. The reason being if your console is at 15m+ over the competition and quickly growing the gap, they can make all their money back just by selling to your base, while getting extra hype/interest by being an exclusive. They also don't have to worry about spending extra money and time porting their game to a different system with different specs, then dealing with the requirements to launch on that system, too. |
This is why it comes over as a stupid comment. The real reason for this comment is more important to MS than what it appears to be about. This is grade 'A' manipulation of a narrative. Let's see if it works.
