I wonder, seriously, how many PS4 gamers will shun this game based on it's timed exclusivity? I think this is a real thing, I just wonder what the actual numbers would be. I don't see it moving any consoles for MS either. So basically, no upshot for MS, just money wasted, and a possible detriment to Capcom, which may or may not be offset by the $$$ involved n the deal. I'm a bit tipsy right now, so please be gentle.

I think there is a good chance people will forget about it. I mean a year is a long time. We are only 6 months in and I keep forgetting that ROTR comes out on the ps4 this year.

Yeah. I'm lucky enough to have a big backlog, so factor that into my personal stance. ROTR is barely on my radar at this point. UC4, an arguably (probably) better game from the same genre, is likely months aways from being played by me. It doesn't mean I won't buy ROTR, but it does lessen the chance, and it will probably be a sale buy. Like $30 tops. I think these timed exclusives are more often than not, detrimental to both parties, especially when being done on a console in a distant second or third place. The same thing happening on PS4 has a better chance of success.
