Updated the OP and Title to be more informative and less clickbaity, regarding the quote he's quite clearly talking about content in marketing deals of 3rd party games.

Second quote of the article we already have a thread on.

 

Still it isn't like MS haven't or wouldn't do marketing deals or hold content like they have done in cases like CoD... besides that, it is much less problem for players that they won't get a map on console Y than not getting the game at all. So he is just finding a point to complain that no one can say they done in the current year.

Xbox360 did that last gen but now that the tables have turned it's ok to cry about it.

22 exclusives where like 20 of them where "timed exclusives".

I hate to say this but reading comprehension is important.  He said CONTENT, read the interview and you see he is talking about DLC or extra stuff that comes with a game, the 2 are not the same.

Arnt games considered Content?

Also, saying what the division did when he wasn't the boss compared to what he does as the boss is 2 very different things. Phil is talking about from his perspective and his ability to make decisions, not what other bosses did during their term.

Nope, games are considered products.  The stuff in the games are considered content.

Translation: "MS isn't giving me the kind of money to do these type of deals anymore (except with indies), so I'm going to act like the good guy since we CAN'T, not don't want to. Please ignore the fact that we are the ones that popularized this practice."

So timed exclusives isn't holding back content to other platforms? Ok



ABTR on 14 June 2017

I know Phill after the fiasco on Dead rising 4 Titanfall Tomb Raider you don't hold back any games from ps4, i know. you can't. Is not about the money any more Is who are in the other side. And that who is Sony. thats hold back real exclusives and more new games on E3 wHEN YOU can't spell the world time exclusive or console debut

We don't call them "Timed exclusives" anymore. "Console launch exclusives" is the new deal.
