You discredit the fact that the next iteration of Titanfall is likely to be available on PlayStation 4, and not only that, but it will likely be a far more definitive iteration than the initial release as it is unlikely to be cross-generation. This could have a knock-on effect of people presuming that the fancy new visuals are because it is available on PlayStation 4, rather than the fact that it is no longer a cross-generation title.

As to Sony creating decent first-person-shooters, they don't, their studios do. And as for Microsoft creating decent first-person-shooters, they don't, they try to buy the studios that create the decent shooter, and if that fails they try to purchase some sort of exclusivity.

You can’t be serious?   So because a game is multiplat it won’t push systems on either?  TF is multiplat with PC and X360 and it’s still going to push X1 consoles. CoD pushes consoles for both, more so on MS the last few years and that’s multi. Also, MGS:GZ will push consoles as well in Japan. Both GZ and PP will push consoles for PS4 there. FFXV and KH3 will also push consoles for PS4 and they’re both multiplat as well. You don’t get to decide what game is a system seller or not because as you said “you deal in facts, not opinions”

Nope, MGS will not push consoles.  Its not in the same league as a game like Titanfall.

That's fine, I know some people who want a PS4 for future "exclusives" like Kindgom Hearts 3 and Final Fantasy XV.

Are you serious? The first three years of the 360's lifespan was third party exclusivity. The third party exclusives are slimming down and EA took a risk on Microsoft thinking that they would dominate Sony. Didn't happen. Zampella was open to the possibility of putting the game on the PS4 until he got notice from EA that Microsoft paid to keep the game as an exclusive. A major portion of the success of Microsofts launch is all due to EA, hype from a former Sony dev at E3 and an outside company named Double Helix making Rares title. Dead Rising 4 will be on the PS4 and Xbox One as well just like two was last gen. Microsoft funds the first game as it seems.

Theres no room for exclusives this gen. Devs are falling even after decent selling titles. Theres just no room for it Sony, Microsoft or otherwise unless they comissioned the title. Microsoft better start working on their first party game. Its truly sad that they dropped the major new IP they were doing with Black Tusk just to go back to status quo with Gears but its MS. Its more of a surprise when they do something creative. Multiplats are going to be a very, very big deal this gen, but true exclusives from second and first party will tell the story about each brands investment in bringing something fresh and different to their consumers. I personally cannot wait. Kingdom Hearts and FFXV's exclusivity being taken away was a given. MS definitely spoke to Square and I cannot blame them. Microsoft doesn't like people keeping hot third party exclusives from the, but they can do it to anyone though.
