Do you think there's a meaningful difference? In both cases the act denies content that would otherwise be available to another console's base.

So far everything 3rd party MS has bought this gen has been timed, so eventually people on other platforms get to play it. The same can't be said for Sony. Now it may be a bit hypocritical that MS is buying anything at all and then making a comment like this, but that's the nature of the business, in order to remain competitive they're forced to buy stuff because Sony is buying stuff. I get the impression that Phil would genuinely like to get rid of 3rd party exclusives, and I say that as someone who dislikes Phil.

Also every third party timed exclusive were deals by Don Mattrick.
