I agree with you completely. Unless I am reading basic english wrong or am interpreting wrong which is possible. I remember telling someone two Christmas ago that when they said Exclusive Holiday 2015 for Tomb Raider that it was exclusive for the fall. Said person suggested I was wrong and NO WAY would microsoft pay all this money ONLY for timed exclusivity. I said it literally says Holiday 2015 Exclusive. What happened? Right after the holidays we had a spring PC release and 9 months...
It means timed exclusive so expect it on PS4, PC or Switch.
Notice they listed most of the games as Xbox One Console LAUNCH EXCLUSIVE, meaning simply exclusive at launch. True exclusives like Cuphead were listed as CONSOLE EXCLUSIVE and MS studio games like Ori, Forza, and Crackdown 3 were listed as XBOX ONE and WINDOWS 10 EXCLUSIVE. It is a round about way of listing things that make you think its exclusive when its not actually.
Black Desert, Lucky Ta...
If you go back and look at the trailer along with most of the Xbox titles its just timed exclusive. It clearly said "Xbox One Console LAUNCH exclusive", i.e, exclusive at launch, NOT actually exclusive to Xbox. Notice ACTUAL Exclusives are listed as "Xbox Console exclusive" like Cuphead and MS 1st party studio games were listed as "Xbox One and Windows 10 exclusive" like Crackdown 3, Ori, Forza 7. They mention the word exclusive a lot, but, if you read it pro...
There was NOT 22 exclusives. They kept repeating exclusive to make you think that. Go back and read the descriptions again, most of them were Xbox One Console Launch Exclusives, meaning ONLY exclusive at launch, after launch those games will launch elsewhere, i.e, PC/PS4/Switch.
Especially if they had released on years ago on Xbox 360, Vita and PS3, just imagine where they would be now. The PSP ones sold so many copies it was amazing, if had continued on the Vita and add in 3DS and we are talking 15-20 million sold considering how popular it was in Japan.
Not sure why Avengers would make sense at all. Marvel Games division is trying to establish themselves and tying themselves to Xbox will not forward that goal. Spiderman being the exception probably as a result of dealing to get Spiderman back into MCU.
So your suggesting that PS4 fans want to have to wait a year for games? Did you not read any complaints about Tomb Raider, Rise of the Tomb Raider, Dead Rising 4?! The complaint has always been Xbox relies way too much on timed 3rd party content.
Phil Spencer said he doesn't like 3rd party deals and would rather own franchises so why are they still pushing year long deals? They do NOT move Xbox consoles. Both Tomb Raiders and Dead Rising 4 did NOT do a thing for s...
@Lennox
What does Nier Automata being hack and slash have anything to do with with it doing well? If hack and slash do so well, want to explain why Samurai Warriors and Dynasty Warrior do so poorly that they literally stopped releasing them on Xbox then? God Eater, Arslan, Attack on Titan, Berserk didn't break a million either so want to explain how your reasoning sucks? Nier Automata should be given props for doing over 1.5 million and seem to have done exceptional...
Yeah its not like when they release Fifa 18 PS4 bundles across Europe that anyone will actually buy one right? No one will want Fifa 18. s/
Except if Sony's partners generate sales on Playstation platforms, not only do the 3rd party company benefit, Sony makes more profit as well. So how is Sony making more profit a bad thing? Its the sustained revenue and growth that allows Sony to get more money to spend on their own studio games too. You can't really have one without the other.

"Marketing is a disservice. Every dollar spent on marketing is a dollar not spent on game, platform, or console development. "
So by that logic then Xbox having already so few marketing deals these last 4 years should have the most games then right? So where are the studios and games?
Still 1.5% of Xbox users if they have 30 million units out there isn't even 1/2 million people. They have things completely backwards. They should get those 98.5% majority new IPs and a real reason to use their Xbox Ones then come back for the other portion later. I deal with customers regularly and it never comes up as a reason to buy a new system.
@Neonrider
Neonrider doesn't understand math, lol. 1.5 % of 30 million is ONLY 450,000 . NOT 4 million. That's not even 1/2 million people. Idiotic statement to make with such confidence o be proven wrong with elementary level math. Lol.
I want Simon Belmont from Castlevania and Alucard from SotN
What part of 1.5% of the 1 million people playing used the feature did you NOT understand? Should Xbox care more about the 1.5% and give them what they want or the other 98.5% which have no NEW IPs to play? Those resources are better spent on NEW games. If it was such an important feature then why have the sales of Xbox Ones not increase? Facts are facts even if you don't like them.
You guys over emphasize the importance of a feature that 1.5% use instead of getting wha...
Because 1/3 of the PS4 owners are new to the system! This is their first Playstation system they own. So remasters make sense in that regard. It is profit for Sony and a way to introduce those great games those people haven't had a chance to enjoy. Just consider that out of 60+ million PS4 owners over 20+ million are completely new to PS ecosystem! That's almost as many Xbox One owners out there. So yeah remasters make sense if you want those same people to invest and buy the n...

" No matter how many times you say...."
No matter how you trump your horns about the importance of BC the facts blow right over your head.
1). If BC was so important want to explain how come Xbox sales are still low?
2) 98.5% of the customers do NOT use the feature. So you are overstating the importance. ONLY 1.5% of customers use the feature. Let me break it down further. For every TWO full palle...
Yeah you probably want to own a PS4 before you get that user name. No use otherwise Moldy. Plus its not like anyone believes you actually own one anyways. But you keep pretending and plead your case for Xbox some more. Hilarious.
You mean the same people who complained about how PS4 was indiestation? Because more options are bad? Yeah we heard it from a very vocal Xbox group. Now that there are no new IP's they say we got plenty to play ironically. So that street goes both ways. There are still a contingency here that suggest that 'niche' games aren't a big deal yet suggest that they got plenty to play, but, again mostly indie games and some 3rd party stuff.
@Darth
Gears of War HD and Voodoo Vince weren't free and could have essily been done through BC, so stop trying to cherrypick and salvage your shitty argument.
