Well in reality, all that really says is that u hope, Sony is making the best out of its publisher partnerships, right? If people are expecting Sony to start dropping 12 exclusives (AAA) a year, while MS releases 6-7, then I wouldn’t hold my breath about that. I mean isn’t that the meaning of “publisher attention”? Exclusives? Even with that in mind, Sony’s gotta pay for exclusivity anyway. Right? Again, what does this mean? I see PS4 already being the lead console of choice, overall better performance on multiplats, and Sony getting DLC, but even then they pay for DLC. And even with the multiplats, that is more of an Xbox developement thing than just lead PS4 optimizing. As we’re seeing more parity (Wolfenstein, Sniper Elite, UFC, Destiny etc.). Faster SDKs. I think Sony may get the benefit of partnering with someone of its choice over MS right now. But again, Sony’s gonna pay for the exclusive (no free lunch), and fans will have to confide in them to partner up with an awesome game………same with X1 owners. And that’s why we bought our respective systems.

To me, I don’t see the point of the sales argument, as if it solidifies one console to get much more titles from 3rd parties than the other. Exclusives cost money, and even proper PR and advertisement, which usually means they’re given space to release apart from another. Inconceivable to think either company to will drop 10 or more exclusives a year (AAA). So again, I’d have to be convinced that “publisher attention” WILL result in Microsoft giving me more than the competition, with that being the only way possible to do so, so that I’d use sales in an argument.

You know what I am getting at. Aside from it I don’t really care. I just want to play games. But I prefer to play on PlayStation not because Xbox is bad of something – I like Sony’s games more than I like Microsoft’s games, I like Uncharted more than I like Halo, but of course it’s just my opinion, nobody will change my mind

Sales have an effect on a console’s game library. Obviously a more popular console gets more publisher attention.

Sony has several profitable divisions.

You have the point BUT: I want Sony to sell as many consoles as possible because PlayStation is the ONLY profitable Sony’s division. If PS4 sales underwhelm then it may result in funding cuts of every Sony developer like Naughty Dog and Santa Monica which will result in incomplete gaming experience. If Xbox sales are poor, Microsoft doesn’t lose anything – they’ve got Office, Windows, Explorer and much other stuff. That’s why I care. I want Sony to sell as much as possible so we can’t lose the studious that gave us ICO, Shadow of the colossus and The Last of Us. Now what do you think?
