This.

The article mentions Destiny, but it completely glosses over Titanfall.  Destiny was a given on the Xbox One, we knew this long before we ever saw the game or knew the name of it due to the issues between Activision and the guys behind Titanfall.  Titanfall, while most likely on the PS4, has no guarantee to be on the console or when it will be or whether it'll offer the same features.

Most of the third-party content shown by either console manufacturer has been a timed-exclusive.  People need to be VERY careful about making a big thing out of timed-exclusives.  They are nice, certainly, but in the long run they become meaningless.

They become meaningless?  

Haven't you heard? A game that was released 6 months to a year earlier on a console you don't own becomes completely irrelevent and uninteresting when it comes out on your platform.  That's what they say, at least.

No, not what I was saying.  What I was saying is that the fact that it was a time exclusive becomes meaningless.

Does anyone care that Bioshock was a timed exclusive?  Nope.

So they clearly spent a bit of money on Destiny, as they wanted to assure Bungie fans that it was going to be at least equal on both consoles, but M$ just beat them on the rest

They probably got AC because they did a multi-year deal or something. Sony is trying the same things as M$, but they don't have the same warchest to back it up

AKA CoD, Fifa and Battlefield are too expensive.

They already got BF3 map packs 2 weeks early...What are you even talking about.

Just a simple joke.

Yeah, I don't understand with that one. I would say Sony had a deal with Ubi, but M$ got the Division. Anyway, these things are all just really annoying and stupid, i wish neither side had them and spent this money on making thier own games, these 3rd parties have enough money to market these games themselves!

Sony has quite a wide 1st party offer, but a lot less cash than MS, the biggest games are going to be multiplat anyway, so betting on new 3rd party titles, at worst will cost little and it will widen the games library anyway, at best it could end up discovering some killer app.
