Forums - Gaming Discussion - PUBG: The battle comes to console, only on Xbox One.

Again with those Microsoft lies like with Rise of the Tomb Raider. You'll always have people believing their twisted words.

Like many people thought Rise of the Tomb RAider was a full exclusive when it was from the start just another timed exclusivity.

It's only the preview that is exclusive on XB1. Come on. Microsoft are master of twisting meaning from words. Like "has a duration" instead of "timed exclusivity" for Rise of the Tomb Raider.

From what I understand about this, the game is a timed exclusive.

MS for got to put "for now" in that trailer. They clearly want casual consumers to think it's an console exclusive, they want or expect people to go out in drones to buy XB1 to play this game.

Like how this thread was suppose yo be about PUBG on XBO but is now a debate on if it's console exclusive or not. Yeah the game is console exclusive when it comes out. Its possible it could come to PS4 but a PS4 port hasn't been officially confirmed so until it arrives on another console it's an Xbox console exclusive.
OP: so excited to play this game next week!

MS should just put “exclusive until at least (insert season and year here) like Sony does with Destiny content to shut the haters up :)

Can’t wait to play on Tuesday. We should get some Chartz streams going. You all can watch me get rekt.

By the way, I’ll continue assuming the EA version of PUBG is what MS is talking about in terms of exclusive and whenever 1.0 is ready for console, the PS4 version will be near or ready.

And PC, and mobile.

And not on PS4 and Switch.

I rather play Bayonetta 3 and Yakuza 6 anyway.

Fake news.

We know MS tried to pay them to keep it off PS4 but they wisely refused. They did pay them for a certain timed exclusivity though.

Game will also come to PS4 in 2018.

Source? Also, if MS wanted to keep this game off of PS4 they easily have the funds to do so. Hell, they bought linkedin which is worth almost as much as Sony as a company lol.

Xbox doesn't have a blank check from Microsoft.

I thought this was common knowledge by now.

Microsoft would be dumb to buy them just for pubg. It's a great game and could potentially sell 50 million copies on pc, maybe even 10 million on Xbox if it's just as popular there. But in 2 or 3 years these kind of games will be everywhere. It would probably cost a billion $ to buy lifetime exclusive. Money would be better spent buying playground + obsidian or something. 

No, games as a service has a lot more longevity and potential money in the long run than single player games from obsidian. They will make billions from Micro-transactions. Just look at the most played games right now on Steam, PSN and XBL. They are games as a service that make a shit load of money. That is why we haven't seen a GTA6 announcement or trailer. GTA5 is making a shit load of money being a game as a service.

As good as pubg is, when rockstar, Ubisoft, ea, activision, Sony, and ms make a knockoff they won't be able to compete. There's going to be clones everywhere and u will start seeing them by e3. Pubg has its most value till those start popping up. 

 But that doesn't mean ms can't ride the gravy train for a while.



Halo MCC will sell 5+ million copies(including digital)

halo 5 will sell 10 million copies(including digital)

x1 will pass ps4 in USA, and UK.

Apparently, Fortnite is giving them a run for their money.

You are right, the spinning pr team at MS is very good. Its only the GAME PREVIEW  ( beta, demo )  Edition that is exclusive to the xbone. The full Game Version will come to the PS4, 100%. The only question is, when?
