i bet Shu is secretly hoping he will smash it, because he knows it's gonna end up with him regretting and buying another one

So...I feel like people didn't read this correctly. Shu specifically said he was just talking about the general term "Console Debut". That means that what he said has no bearing on Ni No Kuni 2. Which, as they've said several times, is a Playstation exclusive.

Pen FTW.

I don't get the confusion.

Console debut=Timed exclusive. Will come to other consoles in the future, e.g. Final Fantasy 7 Remake.

Console exclusive=Won't come out on other consoles but will be out on PC, e.g. Street Fighter V.

Exclusive=Will only come to the console that it's exclusive to, e.g. Uncharted 4.

Yup. I don't see Ni No Kuni 2 coming out on the XB1.

Generally when devs say a game is exclusive (without saying what type), it's either a console exclusive or full exclusive by default. If it's timed, they'll say it's a timed exclusive. Regardless, none of it is worth getting upset over.

Console debut on PS4 = First on PS4

It's just that neither of them sound right in terms of marketing for Sony. Apparently they can't find a simple marketing formula to say "it's developed for PS4 and it may or may not see the light in other systems".

MS faced a very similar wording problem with Tomb Raider. And we all know how it ended.

sad that he had to explain it, its self explanatory lol


FF7 Remake had ''console debut'' on it

So I wasn't the only one who read it as such. Shu is in charge of Worldwide Studios. He doesn't know what goes on with 3rd party, which is why people need to ask Adam Boyes(the right person who said Ni No Kuni 2 was a PS4 exclusive on stage) and not Shu.

I will be upset if Ni no Kuni 2 ends up on NX. It's like countless monster hunter games never made it to ps consoles, or how they committed the stupidity of making mirror of fate on the 3ds. If anything it should have been on vita (Ninty isn't getting a Lords of Shadow game). Ni no Kuni belongs on playstation like xenoblade belongs on Nintendo that simple.
