This statement is fairly accurate. Look at this snapshot of Xbox exclusive vs ps4 with ps4 having 20 some vs the 5 on Xbox. For Sony it's mostly third party exclusives. Regardless an exclusive is an exclusive.

The ongoing support for this game is unreal.

Patching firmware only works if you start at 1.76, if your firmware is beyond that you can't downgrade firmwares.

This only works for firmware 1.74 which came out in 2014 so not really useful atm and only through one security layer so many more layers to hack before anything impactful.

Well there is a point of diminishing returns where regardless of what a company is willing to pay the publisher will probably decline when looking at the ecosystem of the platform.

I think the reason Sony will be so successful will be due to three pillars the drives the market:
1) world class first party studios that are industry veterans that have more than proved themselves

2) strategic partnerships with key publishers with marketing and exclusive ...

Well if the silly written wants to stop gaming on the machine that is backed by the largest and highest rated first party studio in the world so be it silly so called gamer.

What a silly comment. Out of all of the three manufacturer Sony has the most first party studios that are top notch in the industry. Of course world wide studios is each developing a secret game that have yet to be announced as Sony is timing the release.

Market perception is key also. They can measure against their own projections all they want but if they lose ground in the market share it will impact how publishers view the platform ultimately impacting the gamers

The key is staying neck n neck like PS3 and 360 did last gen.

What Scott said about Bend is exciting. He said that [next game in development] will be their shinning moment. I don't think he would go that far and say that unless he was genuinely impressed with whatever they are working on.

I totally agree with Scott and I think that's why out of all of the manufacturers Sony has the best first party studios that have cranked out great games over the decades. They let the teams bake and incubate their ideas and not get formulaic like Scott said regarding Sony bends project.

FYI - prices are set by the third party publishers do u should complain to whoever the publisher is.

Because microsoft is in direct competition with Steam vs win 10 store while Sony isn't.

Moldy

Phil bragged he signed tomb raider and on Amazon last month number 1 ps4 bundle was COD so that's why standalone sales are lower as they count towards those sales.
Ps4 is projected to have sold north of 1.5 mil so you can do the math.

So it seems Sony wisely moved uncharted 4 into q1 2016 and released all of its first party titles early to mid 2015 to leave their third party partners to duke it out.

While Microsoft released their first party halo and published tomb raider smack dab in the middle of their marketing partner's (fallout 4) release window. Prolly pissing off both Bethesda and square Enix while shooting their internal studios's releases in the foot.

Great job phil. Great...

Lol love these troll articles that read like they were written by a highschooler. Endless source of humor and entertainment

Apparently ps4 sold over 1.5 mil.

Lol at fake kaz retweeting his tweet from 2014:
"Rise of the Tomb Raider is now exclusive to Xbox One. Square Enix clearly wants the game to be uncharted: as in, not entering the charts."

Drunkman did uncharted 2 so not really new blood.

The problem is that black tusk was creating shanghesit and was told to stop development to work on a new gears of war game. Forgoing a new IP over an old IP.
