So when Sony gets all these 3rd party exclusives, how do you think they occur. Do you believe that MS made no effort to get these games on their system or do you believe these business out of the goodness of their heart just decide to only develop on the PS system ignoring revenue on other systems. When MS pay a studio to make a game for them, its MS nothing having a strong First Party system, when Sony does it, its smart business. The real key is that there is a lot of hypocritical statement from gamers because they do not even see they have fallen into Fandom. They pick a side and they ignore the practices of that side and see a corporation as benevolent.
This is the industry and maybe Phil should not said he doesn’t favor doing what he has to do in the industry because that is how the game is played. We can find many statements from corporate execs where they probably wish they just kept their mouth shut because gamers latch onto those statements, twist them to their own purpose or just totally misrepresent what is stated. Right now in this thread you have a bunch of people calling Phil a liar because he said he doesn’t favor doing these types of moves as if he stated he doesn’t do them. Not liking something but having to do it anyway because that is how the game is played is totally different.

Actually yes, amazingly, there ARE people here who believe Sony doesn't have to do anything to get these deals and that publishers come to Sony in their knees begging for these deals to make their games exclusive to Sony's platforms. Back when the whole MS Tomb Raider deal was still rubbing people here raw, when presented with press releases and news about how Sony had moneyhatted that exact same franchise before, I was actually told that due to Sony's position in the industry they probably didn't even have to pay for that deal, or even seek it out, and that Eidos or whoever was in charge of TR back then actually probably came to Sony begging for a deal and Sony helped them out. You have quite an uphill battle here trying to cut through the double standards to actually have a discussion.

One thing you have to give Sony credit for, when they pay for exclusives, they make sure it never sees the light of day on another console. MS only seems to be interested in timed exclusives.
