Forums - Gaming Discussion - PUBG is an “XBO console exclusive”

At E3 they clearly said launch exclusive.

I find it funny how people get all confused/upset when MS uses the term launch exclusive for these games but when Sony showcases a ton of indies/digital titles as console launch exclusive no one seems confused or angry.

It's pretty simple. It's going to launch on Xbone first and be exclusive for awhile, then will come to PS4.

When has Sony EVER used a term as ridiculous as «console launch exclusive»?

Sterling did a video recently about how this industry is one built on lies, and people just roll with it. The bending and misshaping of the word "exclusive" is pretty minor compared to other fibs and bald-faced lies of this gen.

They say "console exclusive debut" which is literally the same thing.

When did they say that?

PUBG's twitter links to this news article

https://news.xbox.com/2017/10/31/pubg-coming-xbox-one-december-12-2017/?ocid=Evergreen_soc_omc_xbo_tw_Photo_lrn_10.31.4

In it it says "launch exclusive" whatever that may mean.

As long as it is console exclusive to X1 I don't see a problem writing "console exclusive" on everything.

Launch exclusive means at launch on console's, its only there.

But that implies its going other places too at some point.

The question is just if its half a year down the road? a full 1year?

So "launch exclusive" gives us an exact estimate between 1 day and 500 years of exclusivity. What a helpful descriptor.

I don't get what the OP is supposed to say? You're saying they're saying it's a console exclusive but at the same time saying that they haven't said that yet? Well... have they said that or not?

Naw man. If you click the link the game package says "console exclusive" which is deceptive as fuck. Hes asking is it really or is it just deceptive marketing. If it was console exclusive they would have blasted that shit everywhere hence his confusion. 

 

Questions fine



The stage is ripe for someone to clown the industry over the obvious 'exclusive' verbal sleight of hand. Maybe Devolver Digital will do it next year. "This will be what we like to call a 'timed generational console launch exclusive,' ONLY AVAILABLE on modern gaming platforms until sometime next gen when we add three new textures to a port and CALL IT AN HD REMASTER, now THAT'S MODERN GAMING FOLKS! You can actually preorder this special unique system-defining gem, as well as the future HD remaster, RIGHT NOW SO ****ING GIVE US THE MONEY, PLEBES!"

But now they're saying "Console Exclusive". Which means they're using two different terms for the same game.



You don't see the problem in using different terms to mean the same thing, and for the same game? There's nothing "pretty simple" about that.

Not to mention changing the meaning of terms. At E3 they also used the term "Console Exclusive" to describe games that were "timed exclusive".
No one asked Microsoft to redefine what "Console Exclusive" means. It seems people forgot about that E3 presentation, and now they're confused.

Mate no one is changing the meaning of the words.

What is a console Exclusive? A game that is exclusive to a console. When PUBG launches for X1, how many other consoles is it launching for?

Its exclusive until otherwise. 

Why is that so hard for some to grasp.
