This. And actually Mattrick is even more innocent as he had to obey to a declining and paranoid control freak at the end of his business career, much worse than Nadella, he surely had less freedom than Phil. Sometimes it was evident that he was very embarrassed of what he had to say.

Yes, indeed. Some people aren't very good at spotting these things though.

Alright Mr Timed Exclusive.

Lol Phil needs to take responsibility for his companies old tactics. I mean he's no better with timed exclusivity babble. He's playing the game.

LOL! This holds the same amount of weight as when he says they're not interested in fighting PR wars.

They did in the past. AC Origins, Anthem, or Shadow of Mordor would have exclusive content if they really wanted it. I do think Phil should have acknowledged the things they did last gen though.

Does he even realise hes contradicting himself?

I read a Forbes blog article about this and i kinda see wherethe article and Spencer is coming from. And if it isn't abuse of its market position then it's coming close.

The thing that irks me most about one of the things Sony has done is to not fully back crossplay, particularly with Rocket League. They have Crossplay between PS4 and PC, but they are not implementing it with Xb one or Switch. I think this is bad. They are also not doing cross play for Minecraft. And I don't buy their reasoning for it.

As for exclusive DLC content in multiplat games. I don;t know MS or Spencer's history on this so don't know if he's being a hypocrit. But as a gamer I don't like it when exclusive content in multiplats is denied to me permanemently because of an exclusive deal with a different platform. So I don't support Sony doing that sort of exclusivity deal. I don't give a crap about timed exclusive content in multiplats since I am not a person who has to have all the bells and whistles they day they come out. So long as it does eventually come to all platforms.

It's all well and good for Spencer to complain about this stuff, because he inherited Xbox when it was up shit creek without a paddle. Xbox is doing muchg better, but it is still in a weak position relative to PS4. So we can see his strategy when he's playing from behind. I have no idea what his strategy would be when he's playing from ahead. Would he be tightening the screws to try to kill of PS completely (and doing all the things Sony is doing now and worse). Or would he be happy to let PS keep its smaller share of the pie?

You just never know what these people would do with the tables turned.

All of the big 3 are hypocritical, unfortunately. 

No because he isn't.  He said content.  You know the stuff in a game.  Keeping content away from other platforms permanently.  I know, sometimes context is a real bummer when reading but you do have to acknowledge it.  I am sure this is why people do not like to make public statements.  People only hear what they want to hear, jump to conclusions and when challenge will stand by their opinion even when they know its wrong.
