When did they say that?

I remenber it being said about a slew of titles at Gamescom this gen, might even be the first PS4 Gamescom. I'm sure there are other instances of it, I don't get bent out of shape about clear marketing gymanistics so it doesn't bother me, I don't make mental notes when I see it. But the bottom line is MS isn't alone when it comes to advertising a game launching as a console exclusive on their platform. The only word different is launch vs debut, which is the same thing.

At E3 they clearly said launch exclusive.
I find it funny how people get all confused/upset when MS uses the term launch exclusive for these games but when Sony showcases a ton of indies/digital titles as console launch exclusive no one seems confused or angry.
It's pretty simple. It's going to launch on Xbone first and be exclusive for awhile, then will come to PS4. |
But now they're saying "Console Exclusive". Which means they're using two different terms for the same game.
You don't see the problem in using different terms to mean the same thing, and for the same game? There's nothing "pretty simple" about that.
Not to mention changing the meaning of terms. At E3 they also used the term "Console Exclusive" to describe games that were "timed exclusive".
No one asked Microsoft to redefine what "Console Exclusive" means. It seems people forgot about that E3 presentation, and now they're confused.
And no, this is in no way equivalent to Sony saying "console exclusive debut" because they included the term "debut".
Microsoft are omitting that term.

Actually even at E3 they were using both terms. They first revealed the game as a console launch exclusive and after the trailer just had text on the stage saying Xbox One Exclusive or something. For the foreseeable future it's an Xbone console exclusive. We all know it's coming to other consoles, it was right there when MS first revealed the game.
Gonna file this under "not an issue".
