Wait what? when did i say that Dragons dogma would fit as an exclusive for Xone?

Yes it is a wRPG but still is game that would sell much better on a PS platform specially now that PS4 had a larger install base than xone(even on USA).

About that old topic, JRPG sells bad on Xbox brand just look to KH3 and FF15 pre orders right now.

This games don't even have release date yet the PS4 versions already are on the top 20!

And you can't say "but this games are niche,therefore, don't need to cross 1 million to be a success" like you said last time.


I never said games are niche. What I keep saying is that games don't need to cross one million sales to be a success. Look at Persona games on PS consoles. :)

What you need to understand is that Selling better on a PS platform =/= Being unprofitable on a MS platform.

one thing you need to understand is that profit = / = good investment.

 

If the profit is too small,specially with this AAA heavy marketed games,the devs will not see that platform as a good place to put that kind of game.

This is one of the reason why a lot of games didn't come to Wii even though sold 100m WW.

And this is one of the reasons why KH 1.5 was not released on X360 even though KH3 will be for Xone.

They(SE) probably foresaw low numbers on 360 and wiiU(smaller install base) and sony took advantage of that.

Didn't Sony made a contract with Square-Enix for exclusive content? That's why Lightning Returns DLC, FF X HD and KH 1.5/2.5 are exclusive to Sony.

No idea about Shinobi. Im talking about what Ive heard myself from not anonymous twitter sources.

follow-up question: are any of these exclusives not from EA?   ...cause i've pretty much resigned EA to being fully in MS's pocket.


Dont have all the details but Im not hearing EA. 

hmm.. that would dampen the mass effect 4 guess.

not sure what they could of bought up but i'm drawing large blanks on franchises i think they could afford (aka not GTA, KH3, FF, MG) that i could really care that much if MS bought. 

working off the platinum games angle,.. vanquish 2?    i never played the first but some people liked it i heard.

i can't see valve doing that with their upcoming steam machines.  if anything they'll take those titles and make it exclusive to steam(machines).

More important question : Is this a real exclusive or a false ( timed ) exclusive ? We never know with them



Predictions for end of 2014 HW sales:

 PS4: 17m   XB1: 10m    WiiU: 10m   Vita: 10m

I was joking. Anyway, Valve already said that they wouldn't make any of their games exclusive to Steam Machines, so I doubt they would sign exclusivity contracts with another company.

That would make alot of people pissed.

I think it'll be something medium sized.



Also that doesnt mean EA isnt bringing something Ive heard a lot of rumors of a certain title being exclusive that ISN'T made by EA. I've heard there's another as well but have zero info on who.
