Pfft, you've got it totally wrong.

We're going to play it on PC instead.


I think the real hypocricy is that Titanfall is somehow validated as a bonafide XBO exclusive when it appears on both 360 and PC. Meanwhile any game that is not fully exclusive to PS4 doesn't count or doesn't even exist in some eyes. Planetside 2 is also a FPS multiplayer only MMO style game, but is also vailable for PC........so it gets dismissed.

And the usual response, "I'll just play it on PC".

Sure you will >_>.............

 

Just like all the games before it, most will get these games on Consoles, because they are console gamers, mostly exclusive to them as well. I personally don't care what is available for PC ever because regardless I don't like PC gaming style. They might as well be exclusive to the consoles they are on.


As far as Planetside 2, don't mistake not caring with double standards. PC's arn't consoles, and if a game coming out on two different MS consoles means it's not exclusive.... ohwell:)

Maybe so. My post is mostly directed at those who try to under value PS4's Launch window lineup because some of its bigger titles are F2P/ MMOs that are only partially exclusive  when thats pretty much what Titanfall is. I spotted a few  some pages back.

Heh heh. I forget who it was who kept arguing with me when I said that EA was the one calling the shots when it came to Titanfall. But in your face, whoever you were!

?? are you suggesting the number of countries has something to do with the number of consoles being produced??  that doesn't make any sense.  You don't ship a fixed variable of a console to each country.  The amount of countries the system is available in has abosutely nothing to do with supply.  

The reason microsoft is launching in fewer countries has to do with xbox live and kinect speech support, has nothing to do with production supply.  The countries the x1 is launching in will actually get bigger shipments than the ps4 initially if they are matched in production ability, of course, almost all of the launch supply of both consoles will be coming to north america...


Im suggesting that at this time for every XBO being shipped there is 2-3 PS4's being shipped. If both were to sell out (which they will) that still leaves it at XBO=1 and PS4=2-3. We already know the Preorders are skewed this way with most places offering twice as many preorders for PS4 than XBO. My store personally has 40+ preorders on PS4 while 12XBO preorders and this is pretty much a company wide thing. We have been told to expect similar shipments of both after launch. If Demand is at maximum for the holidays with them constantly selling out, how can XBO possibly be "just about even" with PS4?

well, that is a much better argument that the number companies times a fixed variable  Not sure why you even went that route...  Anyway, if what you say holds than obviously the ps4 will sell more.  It is one of those have to wait and see kind of things though...  You would think that these professional analysts would have more information on production abilities then you are me, but I guess they could be wrong...

It depends on where the analysts is geared for. They are most often just Yes men who tell the comapanies they work for what they want to hear. I did read some analyst report that he expected XBO to outsell PS4 this holiday season. Why? because XBO became higher on Amazon's top seller listings. What he omitted was that there are multiple PS4 skus flooding the top listings so if you add them up they would assuredly decimate XBO numbers without question.

Being able to read between the lines(AKA bullshit) helps.

On the topic of hypocricy, I keep seeing statements like "PS4 has nothing but indies" but not to long ago the indie scene was pretty big on XBL.

No, I'll be called "fake" or "trying to seem unbiased". No one is unbiased, as you know, and while I don't often defend the Xbox or many of its fans, to rid the forums of a lot of the crud has to start with eliminating antagonizing posts, no matter who starts it.

On the flip side, I'm one of the people that cuts Kowen some slack after he's attacked by groups and groups of folks! That has to account for something.

Maybe by immature ones or trolls, but you'd get respect thrown your way by those that should matter.

I'm not up to date on ps4 f2p games, but haven't alot of them been out on pc for awhile? If that's true, that's probably the real gripe is about ps4's lineup. Correct me if I'm wrong.....

BTW i am an xbox gamer, but first and for most I despise fanboys of all stripes:).

Ive seen this as well. Personally some of the Indie stuff is surprisingly what is swaying me to jump into next gen Early. Infamous may be my most wanted but Transistor, Child of Light, Resogun, etc are really whats winning me.

Eh.. It didn't interest me. I could be surprised though, it looks as though it has potential.

I'm just waiting for a Left For Dead 3 announcement. I really don't want to buy a xbone for one game... but I will.
