So you're getting it for X1 instead of PS4?

Yeah, unless if there's a bunch of exclusive stuff for ps4.

Going to be fair to xbone and say it will be 98% in PS4's favor

I heard the PS4 has a bunch of exclusives frames. Every second there are some you won't see on X1.

I didn't say it'd run better. 

In the "let's make FF exclusive again!" and how they started releasing everything for the console because even though it obviously didn't outsell the PS3 version (expectations dammit!) they still sold enough to make them a lot more money. 

Final Fantasy is not Tales. You might as well say "make Skyrim PS4 exclusive" to the same effect. 

Because of expectations (announced as an exclusive) and because the reception was pretty terrible... 

Now, illuminate me as to why exclusivism is a good thing (right now, anything that hurts Microsoft's competition can only represent a gain. Sony has acted cocky recently and they need to be dragged in the mud to show them their place) and show everyone where I said the game will run better on the Xbox One... 

This gen ps4 is dominating and the ratio will be much higher.  look at the last FF to release on ps4/xb1. 90/10 launch ratio.  insane numbers and at the point making it exclusive and putting all resources into 1 version would actually be worth it.  

 

Especially when some of the buyers on XB1 would get it on ps4 anyway if it was exclusive.

Exclusivity never ends up as a good thing as it leads to the leader becoming complacent and then we have a Fallout 4 scenario where they won't budge on mod support like MS did. 

And not to mention, they'd have to buy a new console and not everyone can afford that. People should be able to play anything with what they have. 

 

Oh, by the way... 20 percent...

So many optimistic people. What Xbox owners would buy the game and why?

Hear hear!

Ha, ha, clever... 



I forgot to mention these two posts by Abdiel. They should give a good idea on what the sales ratio will be:

"I'm using it as a comparison because it's a game that isn't blowing up charts by comparison either, while the ps4 sku has very, very solid levels of preorders, regardless of release date. 

Ffxv has a roughly 8 / 2 split in every store for preorders favoring the man, if not more. And ps4 customers tend to go for the deluxe options a lot more than xb1 versions. One store has more ps4 deluxe preorders than total xb1 preorders.

It's totally one sided."

"This is the general attitude I see from the significant majority of my xbox customers. They don't care about Japanese titles in these categories. And they give the side eye to the stuff in the PlayStation aisle like it's weird to even want it.

PlayStation owners are all over the place. There's no consistent trend, since you have the shooter fans/sports fans, the weird game fans, the Japanese game fans, so on. Not a single typical format like with Xbox buyers."

"exclusivity is never a good thing"

That statement is just straight up false.

And yeah I'm sure games being exclusive is the reason for Sony's mod policy. lol

It is, because namely, it leads to lack of competition which was what allowed Sony to say no to mods. Desperation seems like the best tool to obtain what you want and the more reasons Sony has to offer me more of what I want the better...

Actually, I had a response, but you know what? No. You can argue the Xbox One would run it better, except you know it wouldn't, because unless Microsoft paid for it nothing runs better on Xbox One.

I didn't say it'd run better. 


Azuren said:

They weren't wrong. Despite being during a period when X360 still had higher numbers than PS3, the PS3 versions of each game outsold their X360 counterparts. And it wasn't by a small amount, either; the closest race was still 2:1 in PS3's favor. In fact, only one of the three games on X360 broke a million worldwide, and it was still outsold by XIII-2 on PS3.

 

Final numbers for the trilogy on X360 managed to only hit 3.16M, whereas the PS3 trilogy hit 9.01M. That's nearly a 3:1 sales ratio, meaning that a system with less units sold almost 75% of the series. 

Because of expectations (announced as an exclusive) and because the reception was pretty terrible... 

Now, illuminate me as to why exclusivism is a good thing (right now, anything that hurts Microsoft's competition can only represent a gain. Sony has acted cocky recently and they need to be dragged in the mud to show them their place) and show everyone where I said the game will run better on the Xbox One... 

The conversation you jumped into was revolving around the claim that FFXV would run better on XB1 because the PS4 would overheat.

 

Exclusives give value to the platforms they appear on. If not for exclusives, one would just pick the toughest platform and call it a day. Instead, exclusive titles and features make up a large portion of the platform's inherent value over others. And as far as I'm aware, Sony hasn't acted "cocky", they opted for a cost-efficient mid-gen refresh over a nearly-next-gen refresh. The only company acting cocky is Microsoft with their constant bashing on Twitter (you can deny it because it's always vague, but that would be like denying the 2016 presidential candidates are a complete crapshoot). The last time Sony did anything like that was E3 2013, and that was to combat a horrible, awful idea that Microsoft had (DRM in consoles).

It doesn't lead to a lack of competition, Microsoft has just found themselves unable to compete because they started this generation by sawing a leg off. The only cause for the lack of competition is Microsoft's willingness to back out.
