| OneKartVita said: You should praise Sony for this. Just look at rocket league. They nab that up but still let it release at launch on PC. But they have the genius idea of giving it free on ps plus and the game goes mega viral. Even after the first month sales have been huge. On the other hand Microsoft get tomb raider. It doesn't even come to PC. They give it one exclusive retailer bundle that's too high a price and have it released at the worst possible time. There's a reason these deals do better on Playstation m Sony are passionate about marketing them. |
Nintendo does the same for 3rd parties..... just lets titles that launch on their system die or live on their own, without much support.
I actually think this is one of the reasons Sony does well as a console manufacture. They arnt software developers ment to make all their profit on selling their own games, they sell the hardware and the services instead (the oppersite of what nintendo does).
Nintendo are worse than microsoft when it comes to this...
launch a 3rd party game on a nintendo console, and you ll get no help at all selling it from them.
^ think this is one of the reasons why you dont see that much 3rd party titles on the Wii U.
(which then leads to bad console sales, because consumers want 3rd party games as well).
