Wii was significantly less powerful than PS3 and 360 was "hated" in Japan, so no, I'd say the reason that some Japanese devs snubbed them wasn't because of Sony's money. Lol @ writing Sony that way.

Are you comparing Wii support in Japan with Xbox's? What are some reason Japanese devs snubbed them?

Good good. Guess we can expect a PS3 and PS4 port 6 months later. xD

Its not about Microsoft creating exclusives. Its about them every gen digging out of the third party cookie jar because they refuse to measure up to the competition otherwise.

Japanese devs snub the 360 because the Japanese do not desire the Xbox since its essentially the same thing as the PS3. Theres nothing the Xbox has that the PS3 doesn't where it counts and the Japanese know this which is why they mostly ignore the Xbox. Look at the sales of full franchise Halo and Gears  in Japan and you'll see how irrelevant the need is for them to even care. Outside of Square, Capcom and Konami the response of the crowd response of the Japanese still matters and if it was that way for the 360 you to have the games. Sony nor Nintendo even have to lift a finger. Japanese devs would love to put their games on the 360, but the majority of them have games aimed at the Japanese.

Jealousy is an ugly feeling. Microsoft didn't do anything wrong, if you want to play Titanfall buy an MS system or buy a Microsoft Windows PC. You have no reason to whine. Doesn't Son ¥ moneyhats Japanese devs for them to snub Nintendo and MS?

 

If MS made the game themselves i would applaud them, but they do this every gen. I felt the same way when Gears was moneyhatted to keep it away from the PS3 and i had a 360 in 2006. Sony moneyhats, mostly in the west for DLC and the most wellknown moneyhat for a three games contract on GTA. Sony doesn't even have to try  to moneyhat in the east because most of the demand for Xbox 360's being so low and most eastern centric developed games are best staying on certain consoles. Most fans of Japanese games tends to go PS3 for those very reasons of accessibility.

Well this thread is full of whining. Color me surprised.


Looks like a great game! I'll be buying it day 1 for X1. The other version(s) are not made by Respawn (from what I understand) but if you all are going to buy one of the other versions yay for you. For the people whining about it not being on PS4 and how it may or may not come to PS4 and MSFT being so evil because they may or may not have paid for exclusive rights get over it. It's a game. Buy it or don't buy it and move on with your life.  If it comes to sony platforms later on yippee.

Is respawn not making the PC version either? Thought they would since it's so similar to the xbone. 

 

Also what happens to it on pc? Is it going to be steam because of the source engine? Or origin because of EA? Or GFWL because of MS and Azzure? If that is still alive when it releases. I'll probably pick it up on Steam or Origin once it's on sale since it has no campaign. It does look like a fun game.

That "We're a small team and need to focus" comment would sound legit if the game really was XB One exclusive, but developing for the X360+PC+XB One sounds like a a pretty big ask. And given the similarities between PS4 and XB one hardware-wise I would think XB One+PS4 would be easier than XB One and X360.

I don't care that MS bought exclusivity, it's a legit business strategy. But I wish developers would cut the bullshit with trying to give any reason other than that they were paid to keep it in the [in this case] MS family. Just say MS wanted a great exclusive FPS experience for its new console and they brought us on board to deliver it.

You nailed it right in the head. You can smell BS from a mile away. There is absolutely no problem with this game being exclusive to the MS consoles. It needs no justification for it not being on PS4. MS paid them to make it exclusive just as they invest money on 343 Studios to make exclusive Halo games. No one complains about them and no one should complain about this, since if Sony wanted the game real bad they could have also paid to make it exclusive.

What I don't like is when devs try to make up all this other BS to try and "justify" the game being an exclusive when it is really just a business decision. That said, if this is just a timed exclusive, then MS really dropped the ball once again.

OOps my mistake! I meant to say GTA I mix the two up sometimes because of the abreviations. I edited it out.
