Forums - Sony Discussion - How much do you reckon Sony paid for MGS4 exclusivity?

Just because Phil said that Sony doesn't pay for exclusives doesn't mean they weren't tossing out every other incentive they could think of. Like, say, millions of easy sales in hardware bundles?

You're using some bad Sony examples there.Hows about this list instead.

-MGS4

-FFXIII

My examples primarily highlight attempts by the console companies to broaden their bases.

Comparing MGS4 & FFXIII to ME and BS is like comparing console staples to scraps.  IF you wanted to make that comparison you should have them up against things like GeoW2 and Fable2.

Now that I'm thinking about it, Starcraft could be a viral Marketer.

I mean, look, it's 2:20 A.M. where he "lives". Who is up that late at night?

Of course he says he's "studying", Studying Bill Gates' history I presume.

I think we need to ban starcraft for being a viral marketer.

 starcraft  MS viral marketer confirmed.

 

how come the ubisoft guy got the axe,,,,it might be time for MS viral marketer

Why would MGS4 not be able to be on 360 just put it on 2 disks?

Fair enough.  Look at their respective effects on install base.  UC and ME are hard to measure due to the holiday period, but Bioshock significantly helped 360 sales where R&C was originally labelled as close to bombing.

As for UT3?  It did NOT do well.

Star Ocean was being hailed as a high-profile PS3 JRPG exclusive not so long ago.....lets see what happens.

 Broaden their bases? If that's the case, then Mass Effect and Bioshock shouldn't be on that list either. ME was funded by Microsoft and Bioshock/Star Ocean was paid for to REMAIN exclusive on the 360 for an undisclosed amount of time. Resistance was funed by Sony and MGS4/FF13 were in all likelyhood paid for to REMAIN exclusive to the PS3. Regardless, you pointed out that Sony is buying all the wrong exclusives, yet you only pointed out the exclusives that has failed. Money Hatting is Money Hatting right? As long as that rule applies, my examples fits yours to a tee.



@ lone, Uncharted is 1st party, resistance and ratchet are basically 1st party
