lulz Not buying exclusives != dropping third party support completely. 95% of all third party 360 titles are also released on the ps3, including many of Microsoft's faux "exclusives" like Eternal Sonata and Bioshock. Meanwhile, Sony makes plenty of their own exclusives, games that will never go multiplat. Relying predominantly on third parties, the path Microsoft has taken, is not a good strategy, because at best you'll negotiate a year of timed exclusivity, and sometimes as little as six months. Hell, even one month like Rock Band 2. And either way, both consoles are getting the lionshare of support from third parties (or at least Western developers), and that will continue to happen until the Wii starts selling more copies of Madden, Star Wars, etc. than a console with half the userbase, let alone more than both consoles combined. |
Dropping 3rd party support means not supporting 3rd parties with cash or advertisement. That's what I assume Sony has done. It hasn't cost them much, practically, but they have lost many exclusives that were once associated with their brand. That's all I meant, man.
I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.
NO NO, NO NO NO.
