A correct title for this thread would be "Did Sony snake out the rights for TPP from MS"

And no, whatever the case may be, Sony has more "right" to any marketing edge to this series than MS imo. MS got away with enough popping the rights to Tomb Raider for a full year and Sony are going pretty light on them. I'm all for healthy competition but a one year deal is anti gamer. To me it reads "We took a franchise you like hostage for a year, now buy our big old box if you don't want to wait.

Sony could make a deal like that without having to pay a cent but I don't see them resorting to these horrible tactics.

Let´s also forget about Street Fighter V...

Those deals are not made for free, dosen´t matter how bigger the PS4 user base is.

SFV is only console exclusive, so you're not forced to buy a PS4 if you don't want to, you can get it for PC on the same day it releases on PS4. And like so many people like to say, when it's convenient, PC is Xbox these days because they are virtually interchangeable.

And Sony never played cute and coy over the nature of the exlusivity, which is a lot of what got people pissed about the whole RoTR exclusivity announcement and gave it more internet legs than it would have got if it had been permanent console exclusive. The head explosions would have been bigger and more vitriolic, but it would have all been over in a short space of time. Whereas with all the pussy-footing around by MS/SE/CD the internet arguments about the nature of the exclusivity kept on going right up to the day they announced that it was a few months timed for PC and one year timed for PS4. A lot of emotional crap and forum bans would have been avoided if they'd been up front about it from the start. Of course different emotional crap and forum bans would have happened, but at least they would have happened on the basis of confirmed information not lack of information and mis-information.
