Forums - Gaming - How come mostly all versions of ps4 games have exclusive content?

Yea well it seems like the money hatting is going to games I care for - (mostly) non shooters. And the only shooter that has exclusive content for the PS that I can think of is by far the most interesting of the bunch, in my view.



 

Playstation = The Beast from the East

Sony + Nintendo = WIN! PS3 + PSV + PS4 + Wii U + 3DS

Well MS were getting games and the PS versions were always held hostage until about a year and some games wouldn't receive dlc on the ps4 versions until a specific time had passed

so Sony found a different way to fight back and that was to get exclusive content for the PS versions of said games

also, what PS4 games are you talking about?



I dont think its all moneyhatting, I know ubiosoft and sony have a deal that Sony shows off their game (AC and now WD) at E3 and gamescom + other events and Ubisoft does exclusive content, im sure theres some money going round somewhere but still

MS buys games and timed exclusivity. Sony buys content. Kind of typical of their market approach actually.



How could Sony moneyhat if they are broke? That doesn't compute?



The money saved by shutting down Studio Liverpool; Zipper Interactive and BigBig has gone into this.

Yeah...

That's why I thought they had a policy of some sort with 3rd party games, Sony hiding billions in off country bank accounts confirmed!
