Sorry Living I don't mean to be a dick about this but if a game is on X and Y then it isn't exclusive to either of those things, there is no debating it, it's on 2 platforms.

It's why I enjoyed the Sony conference is because the word exclusive didn't even need to be said at it, when you see a Sony first party game you know that is only on the PS4, you know that you got another reason for owning the system you bought as well as all of the third party games which appeared on the MS show basically.

Wasn't sure if this was meant as satire though because like I said, if you have a game on 2 platforms then the game isn't exclusive to either of those.

So if a game is on the Vita and PS4 then it would not be exclusive because its on two different platforms.  I believe that is a little to much black and white.  The word exclusive means different things to different markets.  If you purchase every game from the Win10 Store, from a Win10 Machine, I am sure MS believe you are in the Microsoft eco system and thus contribute to their botton line.  Is this any different if you purchase a cross by game on the PS Vita or the PS4.  2 Different platforms still same eco system and company.

In this case MS has two platforms that they want to exploit.  They want you to upgrade or purchase Win10 and use their Win10 store as well as their services for games.  It matters not if you believe you are not on their platform but really you are.  MS also have their console same situation either way you pay into their bottom line and help grow their marketshare in both spaces.

As for Sony conference, they really only have the PS4 so why would the need to say anything.

Why are people bringing up the Vita? Is the Vita equal or better in power to the PS4? Is the Vita a better option than the PS4? Are any of Sony's major games on the Vita? No. PC and Xbox both deliver the same gaming experience. The PS4 and Vita are not doing that and no PS4 game can run on the Vita. Only niche Japanese games that look like they belong on PS2 are on PS4 and Vita. So stop mentioning the Vita.
