Is there a reason has only become a concern for you when Sony is starting to do it? MS has done it all last gen. Every COD ad from the last gen, as well as the exclusive bundles, would make you think that it only launched on the 360. They also did it this gen with Titanfall and I'm sure they will continue to do it more this gen to combat some of Sony's true exclusives. Really not a big deal. Though, this gen it will probably help Sony more when they do it, as they will also have the definitive version of the game.

Exactly, which is why we need a term for it. "Multiplatform that favours a particular console" has no ring to it lol.



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

That would only work if they got rid of post count and this crappy points system.  Too many users on this site who make useless threads for points/postcount and they all post in eachothers threads postcount/point farming.

Great suggestion.

By dumping the post and points systems they would almost instantly eradicate spammers and also potentially cut down the amount of bad thread ideas tossed around here.

 

This should seriously be considered.

Just wanna say that I don't make threads very often. And this went to 4 pages, which is decent enough.

Just to be clear, my post wasn't aimed at you. It was more aimed towards people who only intend to spam to rack up posts and points.

Wouldn't this then make Titanfall the first "pretend exclusive"?

 

They show off the XBox One version, show nothing of the XBox 360 version. They release the XBox One version and hold back the XBox 360 version. When the 360 version finally gets released it is more like a quiet launch. All the marketting went to the XBox One version of the game. Not the PC version, not the XBox 360 version.

To the uninformed gamer, wouldn't they believe XBox One was THE place to play Titanfall, even though that wasn't really the case?

Yes that is true. That said it isn't available on PS4, which we all know, is the dominant console thus far. This is why I think Destiny is a bigger issue because its like stealing sales from Xbox consoles in plain sight. Brilliant strategy.

Your thread falls flat though since Destiny wouldn't be the first. Doesn't matter what new rules you try to now inject.

Also, I remember a little conversation a few months back. Something about when you lead you get to make the rules. Well, now you don't get to just make up new rules.

I don't see it at all. Besides this embargo lifting this week all I've seen is Destiny being spoken about in passing. It could end up being the biggest new IP but 2014 has to be over to say what the most hyped game was. I still see Titanfall getting more attention than Destiny.

I think it will be. I think most expecting 10 million+ across all platforms.

I think he is talking about hype only... sales Destiny will sell way more than Titanfall but hype alone it won't be close to Titanfall.
