And yet, Xbox still has no exclusives. Microsoft is such a good guy that they don't force anyone to go green. The part I bolded is very ironic. A PS fan condemning a company for buying itself into an industry and thinking he has the high ground. Sony moneyhatted third party games left, right and center to keep them away from Nintendo and Sega, and a generation later also from Microsoft. There's a reason why the PS2 era wasn't particularly profitable for Sony despite an incredible level of domination in unit sales: They aggressively cut the price of the PS2 to kill off everyone else. Didn't work for them, hence why the PS4 is on a very different strategy; if you can't kill off competition, it's better to ride out your platform and profit from it as much as possible. |
Nintendo started the entire exclusivity business during the SNES era. Back then the console marke was far more vibrant and Sony was just yet another newcommer, who actually knew what he was doing. Lets not forget it was Nintendo who screwed them over with their exit from the unified console deal 
They never needed to moneyhat exclusive deals in any major way as 3rd parties flocked to them after they burnet themselves with the horrible deals they made with Nintendo and later with MS. Or ar we forgetting the exclusive rush MS had with the first Xbox? Or the pricedrops of the GC that made it far cheaper than a PS2? Or the several billion $ loss MS had with their first system just because they bought up exclusives and sold the system at a loss?
Your memory seems to be selective as of late Rol, for pretty much any info that doesn't suits your bill.
