Well, technically that won't be true or much longer.... the scorpio is right around the corner. And for all those thinking that MS has become this humble, reflective comunity focused company..... just wait till you see them come december this year.

I'm pretty sure the first video game I played was crash 1, on my first console ever... The PS1. The trilogy has remained exclusive so I want it to stay like that. This is PlayStation after all, King of the exclusives! Please Sony. Just give activision the bag of money. |
I honestly don't get that.... it not being excusive wouldn't stop you from playing the game at all. I mean I understand the value of exclusives, but thats only when the game in question is a first party game made to bolster the library of a platform. But Crash isn't going to add any real value to the existing library of the Playstation. Its not gonna be a system seller. To want this to be exclusive is just to not want others to play it unless they have a PS4. Which is no doubt the point of all exclusives..... just don't feel in this case its warranted.
| arcaneguyver said: Not in my book. 'Timed exclusive" is basically "multiplat with a staggered release," and advertising it as an exclusive has always felt incredibly dishonest despite being technically correct. "Get it here first" is perhaps a little better. |
Thats just semantics...... if a game can only be bought on a particular platform, be it for 1 month/6 months/12 months or forever..... its an exclusive to that platform for however long it can only be played on that platform. thats just a fact. And it should be marketed as an exclusive, cause at the time of release there is nowhere else you can get it but on this particular platform.
I feel the only marketing distinctions that needs to be made are "exclusive" or "console exclusive". It makes zero sense putting "timed exclusive" on the box or not putting it on the box at all simply because 6-12 months later it will then become available on another platform.
