No you're just saying stuff I didn't say. I didn't say it wouldn't do well if it wasn't on PS4, just that it's a very large chunk of potential buyers to miss out on. The longer you restrict yourself the longer you stunt fanbase growth hence damaging it. Since the PS4 install base is twice the size, you're stunting a large amount of potential fanbase growth. 

Which can amount to the game as "not doing well" by missing out on that base. The same could be said for the other platforms, it's not just PS4 strictly speaking. I haven't seen you bring this stunted growth issue towards Xbox, Nintendo and PC.

Ok you keep on saying in the past, PC games get leaked everytime their is a game that has a big fanbase.

Whatever you say.

Let's change 'not doing well' to 'not doing as well' and that's what I'm clearly implying. I don't think I can put it across any clearer, I'm not being vague.

And of course keeping a game off any platform will stunt the fanbase growth, why wouldn't it? But since Xbox One install base is half the size it would do less damage, but that's just basic common sense. 

Also I think the start of a new IP is normally when you see the biggest fanbase growth,  so if you miss big platforms within the first couple of installments, that's when you'll stunt the biggest growth. Let's say Titanfall 1 and 2 came to all platforms and then decided to make 3 Xbox exclusive, that would stunt the fanbase less than making the first installment exclusive.
