Conspiracy? Lol please. That hardly qualifies as a conspiracy. If you wanna talk conspiracy let me know.

 

What he was saying, is that during the previous gen Sony had changed over to a smaller case so that on multiplatform ads, the Sony version always needed to be in front since it would not be visible behind a full sized DVD case.

 

Actually, if the blue ray cases were made to differentiate from DVD cases (which they were, I'm not even arguing that) then you're kind of proving our point - that the blu ray format as a whole had a smaller design to attract attention over the DVD counterparts. Which is bringing our discussion full circle lol. The design makes the cases more prominent in ad space. More visible.

 

"The cases are smaller because they use less plastic"

 

Well they certainly aren't smaller because they use more plastic.

And here you go and take things out of context to adjust them to fit your narrative. The fact that you quoted me this way, at the end of your comment, makes it obvious your one kid I shouldn't bother myself with. 



I was in the process of editing that actually. You were also the one who resorted to calling someone else's idea a conspiracy which is rather rude. Don't serve it if you can't eat it. In the world of marketing what he said makes absolutely perfect sense. It's not anymore bizzare than the fact that coca cola can't sit directly next to Pepsi on store shelves.

Maybe this is why sony are not worried about not having an exclusive?
Black Ops 3, Battlefront 3, Assassins creed marketing/bundles.

Whats next? FUT legends PS4 exclusive?

Keep seeing Sony having Blops marketing rights. Have I missed something? Or does this still stem from that store poster?

A bish-checked insider implied they lost it and said e3 would be intersting. Most of the things activision put out lists ps4 first.

The website has the ps4 version front and center as the default choice when you selected which beta you wanted and when you want to preorder. The ad that was on this website also listed ps4 first. Usually when a console is listed first it implies a partnership. Treyarch also tweeted a picture of a room and all their tvs had ps4s, Im not sure what that was about though. Then there is also that poster you mentioned. Sony also had the trialer up earleier than anyone else if I remember correctly. Signs point to sony having it, E3 will confirm what is happening. 

 

Makes sense for ms to pass on marketing cod, it is direct competition to halo 5.

It might make sense to you, or in an other context. But in the context that he refered to, PS3 vs XBox 360, it doesn't. Because those disc cases were made long before anyone knew what both MS and Sony would be competing with (DVD, HD-DVD or BD). 

So call me out as many times as you want, it won't change history. The BDA did not make the Blu-Ray disc cases smaller just to make sure the PS3 games would be in front of the XBox ones.

Cool, so we should expect an announcement at E3.

I don't think people would care what box shows on the ad or screen. They'll just get it for whatever they own. Normal consumers are like babies and just enjoy what they have. Unlike us gaming gods, they actually have fun with what they buy. As for us, we force ourselves to try and have fun with our bias choices. Let's face it, this crap here isn't going to sell consoles.

Xbone... the new "N" word   Apparently I troll MS now | Evidence | Evidence

Look what Sony did for Destiny, No Mans Sky (from nobodies to fame), Watchdogs, Bloodborne and other third party games they marketed for.

The way Microsoft market Sunset OverDrive was pretty much giving away the game and still hasn't reached a million

What did Microsoft did for the Witcher 3? Lets see

It feels witcher 3 has a marketing deal for PS4. And dont forget evolve and dragon age inquisition. The poor handling of these deals should make any developer worried.

You'd be surprised. Outside of our big gaming bubble I've heard some people say some very strange things like Dark Souls being exclusive to Playstation, San Andreas was only on PS2, I met someone who was complaining at how Nintendo announced the Wii U and still hasn't released it.

People are very uninformed.

In my office a guy asked me, do you need constant internet connection to play PS4. I said PS4 can be played offline. He was surprised.
