PUBG is an “XBO console exclusive”

How is "console launch exclusive" a Microsoft phrase when Sony uses "exclusive console debut"? I mean, it's hilarious how while in a rush to attack one company, some people on the internets fail to see these are two sides of the same coin. I mean you have a situation here where MS is paying for a games development, handling marketing, and apparently networking (I read somewhere the game is switching to Azure, could be wrong though) and they're even assisting in development with their own staff, yet they cannot advertise a version of the game that will forever be exclusive to Xbox One as a console exclusive LOL. Never change, Chartz.

MS has been getting increasingly more confusing and deceptive with their wording about exclusives. Nintendo and Sony don’t do that, or at least not even close to what MS does. Started with RotTR saying it was “coming exclusively to XBO in 2017”. The internet went nuts over the confusion and cornered MS until Phil Spencer admitted it wasn’t a permanent exclusive afterall. 

MS was a bit ridiculous this E3 with their use of the word exclusive as well. And I was just listening to either gamescoop or podcast beyond recently, and Allanah Pearce—who is primarily a member of the Xbox podcast “Podcast Unlocked” with Ryan McCaffrey—poked fun at MS’s confusing messaging about exclusives, and actually mentioned how Sony doesn’t do that like MS does. I’ll try to find the video. EDIT:  13:43 of the video:  https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=yguYNylhSIo

Nintendo and Sony certainly have their own stuff, but MS takes the cake on this one. 

Except they do. They pointed out how SFV is console exclusive all the time, it's even on the box. And I already pointed out how Sony in this gen has used the term exclusive console debut, which literally means the exact same thing as when MS says console launch exclusive. Yet only when MS does it is it something inherently evil, and only when MS does it is there "confusion".

To be debating this around PUBG makes it even sillier, because we all know it's coming to PS4. Just not the early access/game preview edition, that's an Xbone console exclusive. Sony doesn't have nearly as strong as a foothold in that department as MS, idk if it's some policies they have or what. But why would you penalize a company for good marketing, lol. I wouldn't shit on Sony for marketing that god awful Destiny 2 exclusive content. Shit on the act itself, sure. But PR gonna PR.

Microsoft literally told you PUBG was only console exclusive for its launch, right when they revealed the game :)
