I didn't mean literally dead as in dead the way PES is on Xbox. I meant not good and from the hype this game got it's not good. Firesales giving it a temporary bump. 

Deals are never bad for consumers but if most of them are going to get bored of it quickly i wouldn't really say it means much to most buyers. I suppose it's good all the people who get bored didn't waste more money on it. That's always a positive. It's population is barely active and def way below expectations pre release. It was meant to be the next COD or Gears of War. 

Sony were pushing their Plus subscription and had to have heavy hitters up on it. Titanfall is a 3rd party game that they'd be it selling for $39 right now if they could. But sales would flop without heavy discounts. Games released well before Titanfall are selling for a lot more than it's price. 

The sentance you bolded is me pointing out how you're in fact the one getting annoyed in here not me. You've had problems understanding my valid points all through this thread so i'll add that one to the list as well. 

Titanfall is dead like PES on Xbox? That doesn't make any sense consider Titanfall is multi million seller with an active online population. PES wishes it was dead like Titanfall on Xbox and Playstation.

Its population isn't barely active. I could find plenty of people playing at any time even before the Black Friday sales boost. Again, you've been mislead about the population.

Its the holiday and many games have been heavily discounted. $40 would be too much. At most retailers its $20. The $12 price is just an online deal and a fantastic deal.

I clearly said in my post that I didn't think it was dead like PES is on Xbox. I may be mislead about how active Titanfall but that's the fault of the Xbox owners misleading then isn't it. 

Since I was banned 10 days ago SFV has become a lifetime exclusive to PS4. At this point it's obvious that if Sony want PES to be exclusive they could do so at the drop of the hat. So my original theory stands but I'm gonna conclude that Sony just ain't bothered. They prob value an exclusive advertising deal with another game more than makig this a full exclusive. Shame for the series though, it could really do with the help and the PS4 version at least is very good technically and the gameplay is king once again over Fifa.

There is no motivation for Sony to lock PES as an exclusive because Xbox owners don't want it. Xbox fans however do enjoy Street Fighter, so that made it a desireable exclusive.

That's how this works. The exclusives aimed for generally appeal to the audience of other platforms.

Your logic doesn't apply to Sony I'm afraid. PES WW is about as significant to the Xbox as Final Fantasy is to the Xbox in Japan. Yet Sony got it exclusive there. I don't think you're in a position to say otherwise given that fact and many more like it. 

My threads point was not saying they will do it, but saying that Konami should push for it and if SOny were kind enough to take them in, it could benefit the series.

But PES has sold well on Xbox in the past. Maybe that could happen again if MS took exclusivity. Hence... that's my point.

Anyhow, I don't think MS and Sony are interested in pushing PES over Fifa. Maybe PES needs to gain traction before they even consider making a move like that.

Really.... sold well in the past..... those days are long gone my friend and if MS cared about them they wouldn't be paying for Fifa deals. They obviously care more about Fifa X1 selling 25% of the PS4 sales instead of 20% of it's sales. 

Sony don't seem bothered about pushing either because with MS pushing FIfa it still gets outsold like 4:1 next gen and 2:1 last gen. Pes is a diff kettle of fish with a massive 13:1 ratio. My point is Sony don't need to do anything but if they want to create a rival to Fifa on the Playstation again they could back PES. PES is now better than FIfa gameplay wise (widely accepted) so a PS4 bundle and advertising is the best chance it would ever have at gaining traction. 

My other point you also keep ignoring is that if they did this and it worked, Sony would then have a very good and popular football game exclusive. I know you will ignore that point and say but "MS can afford it too". Yeah they can but if it went Xbox exclusive the series would literally die. Big difference.
