Well they can keep that partnership cause by the time xbox gets the access many other games will rise as this one finally falls.

  • Don't get me wrong. I think exclusive deals are dumb. Early access to CoD dlc was just as shady. But Sony and Activision made no secret about the deals.. Microsoft straight up bought titanfall exclusivity and recently purchased a tomb raider timed exclusive. It's all very dumb.

  • Im sorry comparing how this dlc is to COD is a poor example. For one it is only one month difference. 2 when the content is released it is the exact same content. Ps players dont have to wait almost a year for the fourth map. Im not really complaining about exclusive content its just the release period that has most xbox players toasted. Should not have to wait almost a year for content. That was stupid and selfish,

  • Perhaps this is a reaction to Microsoft straight up buying Titanfall to keep it off the PS4. The head of the studio creating the game was unaware [i]his own game[/i] was locked as a console exclusive. It was a backroom deal between Microsoft and EA. In case the significance isn't clear, it means the PS4 version exists. It was being worked on alongside the Xbox version but Microsoft paid EA not to sell it. You lament over a few scraps (stike, map, mission), being exclusive for a year. However there has already been a worse precedent. An entire game kept off a competing platform [i]forever[/i]. Microsoft hinted the franchise would always be locked down to their xbox. Luckily the XBOne sold so poorly they don't have the leverage to make that happen again (i.e. Halo). EA sees the +10million PS4 install base and wants some of that action now. Microsoft cannot afford to keep the sequel off the PS4 this time.
