Okay, let me see if I understand your point; so you're saying that exclusive games are worthless when it comes to attracting new customers now, but somehow will be good enough in the future to "retake some of the console market" if they so desire? And if you wanna talk from a business standpoint, then I would advise you to check the Financial Reports for the last 2 quarters. In case you missed it, revenue was down YoY for both quarters, even thought MS just released 4 games on Playstation during that period (and SoT being one of the best selling games on PS) so clearly sales for those games were not enough to offset the loss in market share. And if your answer is "Oh, but hardware sales were going to decline anyway" then I will have to ask you, why are X1 owners being less interested in upgrading than PS4 owners? I mean, there are still 25 million X1 owners out there, and those people must be Xbox fans to some degree, so why are they not upgrading? |
Also, you are making no sense at all when you talk about the last financial reports (I know it sounds nice to just put that somewhere in your reply), but we are talking about potential revenues here. And no, putting 4 AA games on another platform long after release has nothing to do with putting their AAA day 1 on Play Station. You can also come up with answers to your made-up questions, again, unrelated to the potential revenue stream of selling AAA on another platform. |
But.. SoT has been one of the best selling games on Playstation this year. That is the kind of business they are expecting with "AAA Day one" games; and again, it was not enough to offset the loss on hardware sales.
And I do have some theories to my questions; I just wanted to hear yours.
