If Sony is open to having XBL on Playstation, I genuinely believe MS would increase support. I just dont think it would be major titles for competitive reasons. The point is Sony is open to sharing with PC because its not a direct competitor like Xbox. I agree they save money by sharing with PC but its not relevant. BC was a feature that was constantly getting better for years. So its benefit to sales could have been spread out. Again, cant quantify it. |
True BC stay the same all along the gen and even like that it doesn't influence sales. In general people simple don't care much about older stuff. But don't seem you'll change your opinion since you can hold a "we can't measure because it is spread through the life of the console" and other ways to say that BC matters even if no one can prove.
Well I wouldn't expect MS to put the latest Halo on any other HW (wasn't it one of the few games they kept away from PC when they made the play anywhere?).
The point is that you probably wouldn't find half a dozen that can be prove that Sony paid to keep away from X1. From what I remember only Street Fighter had it. There is many accusations of Sony moneyhatting a lot of games this gen (like MHW) but almost none have any credible evidence, the ones that have we were aware from the get go. You can be sure that most of the games that are exclusive to PS4 and PC had 0 money paid by Sony.
