I think timed exclusives and timed DLC is more of a mind trick that doesn’t fool most gamers as more and more gamers are catching on to the way it works. I think full exclusives are the only major impact but I think 3rd party exclusives are unjustified unless it is under certain scenarios, such as the platform maket share just isn’t there to warrant a release, for example Japanese games. Another scenario is if the developer lacks the funds, but I think this is a grey area as well because the developer could use this as an excuse to accept bribes because they want that extra money from the platform holder.

Xbox had this exclusive for years … but now it’s a game changer ??? how much did Sony pay you to say that ….. and the xb1 BO# outsold the sales on Sony …without timed DLC……

In reply to legacy. Interestingly, Black Ops III and Star Wars Battlefront sold better on Xbox One than PS4, though the fact that these games were included in PS4 bundles may have something to do with that. Bundled game sales are not counted in NPD's report. Rainbow Six Siege also moved more physical units on Xbox One than PS4, while all Minecraft games sold better on Microsoft's console than Sony's.

Sony got over 30 exclusives this year alone, it’s going to be a short fight
