But psychologically it does, otherwise companies wouldn't be making marketing deals in the first place, and MS wouldn't pay to delay the news of platform releases outside of their own. This is all about brand association: most ppl aren't keeping themselves glued to the net for constant gaming news updates. The longer MS can delay that something like P3R is releasing outside of Xbox, the more association they create with the game among consumers. And I think there's an argument to be made that it's deceitful and calling that 'childish' ignores what this sort of clause does. But it makes sense for MS to do this, regardless if one should be critical of it or not, because ultimately they're the ones trying to attract more 3rd party sales to their platform. This in turn can be used as data to convince more publishers to release on Xbox. |
What scenario are you even worried about here? You make it sound as if there are people out there who are still stuck on PS3, waiting for a new Persona game to finally go and buy a new system, and will somehow now choose Xbox because they're too dumb to do any basic research in the months between release. What else? You think there are PS fans of Persona who will somehow miss that a new Persona is releasing on their system, with all the numerous ways these modern machines throw advertising around our home screens? |
I'm not worried about anything lol
Though, I'm not sure what to say about the ridiculous straw man you presented here.
