Someone’s gotta tell the public what games are multiplat and timed. It certainly won’t be Sony lol. 

Thinking of Xbox showcases where they say off the bat “World Premiere” = multiplat or games that are timed. Very clear messaging. Sony just shows trailers without context of availability, and making people guess or assume they are exclusive when they are not is a little shady.

In this regard what Phil says after their conferences is a blessing. He is simply clearing up FUD but yes it also serves to take away some of the spotlight which I understand your frustration. 

What? Its not SONY's job to inform the public on games coming to other products. You'd be a terrible sales agent. 

True, but I like how relatively forthright they are. Xbox always does everything it can to make it sound like games are Xbox Exclusives, and they're not. that's what upset people about Microsoft's strategy. That's why people keep poking fun at what they do but not Sony. 

I didn't even know Final Fantasy VII Remake was a timed exclusive. I literally tried looking up a copy on Xbox One for a friend of mine because I didn't realize it had any exclusivity at all. To be fair, that was just ignorance on my part, but it shows how different the companies are. one HAS exclusives and confidence in said exclusives so they don't have to shove it down your throat. The other lacks exclusives and thus needs to twist the definition and trick people into believing things that aren't fully true. It reeks of desperation. 

I don't even know if I'm arguing with you or supporting you, to be honest. I just thought this was a good time to say what I felt about the situation.
