Evolve is basically a left for dead clone for consoles.
But I had no idea No Man's Sky was exclusive, although I've heard it will come on other consoles later.
That begs the question though, wouldn't parity clause mean no XB1 edition?

No Man's Sky will come to PC so its not an exclusive. 

I'm not sure if it will come to X1 though. Some other games that released on the PS4 first, still released on X1 with no problems, so maybe MS has become more lenient.

Contrast and Oulast were both on PS4 months before an Xbox version released. SO I'd say after that timed deal No Man's Sky has with PS4/PC it'll make it's way to Xbox One and maybe even Wii U etc..... 

Edit: also what is PS4 leading platform of,Evolve?

Until I see a confirmation I regard it the same as GTAV, timed exclusive. Since they confirmed it was debuting on the PS4, its exclusive till it release on other platforms anyway.

Even if the parity clause is still around i don't expect we will see MS enforce it much. They don't really have a strong enough market position right now for it to be a fully enforceable strategy.

Hopefully Sony don't attempt their own version now that they're the market leaders. I don't personally expect them to, but Sony/MS/Nintendo make odd decisions all the time so who knows.

PS4 leading platform? isn't this game an Xbox one's DLC first?

lol @ Evolve being a L4D clone.

Nice to see if win some awards and get recognition. Game just looks amazing. Can't wait for that beta on Xbone, hopefully PS4 guys get a beta too. I bet it ends up being like Destiny.
