It works for people who have better things to do than screw on around on the internet. You know, not us.
Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

It wouldn't work on core games, so it's pretty good for big AAA games that are too expensive for true exclusivity.

"I was hearing things about exclusive marketing being as good as having the game exclusive"
but the game isn't associated as a playstation exclusive
sure it moved hardware units. but they're also moved because of the new color and this game also moved some consoles on the other platform beside the exclusive marketing so the question is: did the amout of money spend on this marketing worked out. did it worked better out than the watch dog exclusiv marketing deal.
on one hand, yes on the other hand, not
but now u see me statement is correct. it depends. sometimes it does work out (very) well. sometimes it doenst.
but this game is new and we have to wait a lil longer to see longterm succes of the deal. is this agreement for the destiny successors, too? if this game realy turns out to be the next billion dollar franchise (right now it doubt it. but we will see waht bungie can do to the content lack) and sony got the exclusive marketing deal for every destiny game, than ofc it will work out |
Your Watch Dogs comparison makes no sense, on what merit do you say that the Watch Dogs deal worked but the Destiny deal didn't?
Watch Dogs sold over a million on X1 and nearly a million on 360 as well, it also sold X1s but it happened to release 2 weeks before a price cut.
Would you say that the CoD deals didn't work for MS, cause even at their height they never sold at a higher split than 60/40, still CoD always sold more 360s and was always associated with Xbox and that deal has been going on for years now, so the parties involved must think it's beneficial.
So on what basis do you decide that the Destiny deal didn't work while the Watch Dogs deal did?

He thinks it didnt work based on the fact of some hourly amazon listings...where it showed Destiny XBO above PS4.... (which I think is silly but still) :)
If its a brand new game that most haven't heard of, then it helps a lot, but if its a game that's been multiplatform for years, then exclusive marketing is a waste of money.

watch dogs breakdown
ps4: 50% xb1: 27% 360: 13% ps3: 10% |
destiny breakdown
46% on PS4
36% Xbox One
14% on Xbox 360
4% on PS3
The other interesting thing to note, there were 6 PS4 games in the top 15 UK charts and only a single XBO game. To me that suggest both a win in Destiny sales and sales of other games.
