Does Sony have an exclusive content policy on multi platform game or do 3rd party devs choose Ps4 over Xbox one?


I imagine more it's "Exclusive marketing deals."

In otherwords... money.

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

The same way the US pumps up a stimulus despite being in debt trillions.

Loans and bonds.  (Coprorate bonds in this case.)

What a waste of money. Instead buying a dozen of exclusive content, they should just money hat a game.


Not really, games with exclusive content does seem to sway my purchase over the other as I'm sure others as well

As far as I can tell the majority of people doesn't even care. It's nice to have additional content. But are they gonna look at it when they buy the game? hell no. Maybe the hardcore gamer who has every console.

How does Sony still produce hundred million dollar movies? Or sign contracts with artists? It's almost like they're making... investments...

Moneyhatting from all sides, but Sony probably moneyhats exclusive content because it's probably far cheaper than moneyhatting entire games.


this, I wonder how much Sunset Overdrive cost MS?

The sony money hat


I thought only MS did that?

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

So started this back with GTA on PS2.

just like how the xbone gets cod and battlefield DLC first 

 

Money Hatting

sony is paying many developers for small exclusive stuff and microsoft more for timed exclusive stuff.

and sony is using this a lot for their advertisement to let people believe the whole game is exclusive. the last months alone i saw playstation exclusive batman, asscreed, diablo and more ads on german tv and they always say something like "batman exclusive on playstation with the special costume" or stuff like that.

it's obviously only the costume which is exclusive but it surely sounds as if the whole game is exclusive for most people who see the ad.

microsoft doesn't do it that good. they always say "dlc first on xbox" which pretty much says that it will also come to other platforms.  and they are even to stupid to tell us in their fifa 14 ad that xbox has the fifa legends. they don't even mention it, wtf? it would be so easy to say "fifa 14 exclusive on xbox with the fifa legends!"
