MS has stooped to a new low

[QUOTE="BioShockOwnz"]

It's called smart business. Something Sony lacks in. They went from 1st to last in one generation transfer. Sony needs to step up its game commercially.

You were saying?

I think that this ends this silly thread 8)

[QUOTE="cainetao11"]I have a dream.....it's a face to face SW. I would love for a bunch of us to be able one time to sit in the same place and have these discussions. I laugh as it is, but I try to imagine a fanboy in person trying to convincingly make an argument like this thread. I think my face would rip from laughing.heretrix

[QUOTE="The_Game21x"][QUOTE="heretrix"]That's probably because it was in a MICROSOFT showcase while Kojima's conference was a KONAMI show. Why would MS advertise PS3 availability at their press conference?

[QUOTE="The_Game21x"] Because MS is evil and Sony is the pinnacle of virtue You know that Assassin's Creed 2 demo they showed at the Sony conference? They didn't mention that it was coming to the 360 once during the entire presentation. But that's okay, because leaving out the other system is only evil when Microsoft does it. :(SilverChimera

OMG. I just seen RockBand two in a commericial, and it said "OUT NOW ON XBOX360"

How dare MS lead people to believe it's exclusive. Sometimes i think Bill Gates and Hitler are the same person.

Teh teh conspiracy:o:shock:

Anyone see the EA Fight Night Round 4 ads yet? I saw it at gametrailers and IGN... and it only shows the 360 case and 360 logo.

Now the game is also coming out for Ps3 and is being released on the same day. Regularly ads would show both logos and cases. So MS has obviously paid off EA to only show their case and logo..... TRYING TO GIVE THE ILLUSION and TRICK customers into thinking of FNR4 being a 360 exclusive, when in reality it is NOT.

This is a real insult to consumers intelligence. Nintendo, Sony, and even Sega (back in the day) have never stooped this low. Trying to trick ppl into thinking a game is exclusive when it really is not.

All it shows me is how DESPERATE MS is for an exclusive.

Yup, and besides that this is business 101. If you cant match or take the heat, get the hell out the kitchen.

That was what Microsoft did with their E3 conference.

They said they from a certain point on they were showing "Only on Xbox 360" but I saw alot of multiplats.

The_Game21x

Microsoft is notorious for using the word "Exclusive" liberally and deceptively. Remember last E3 with Microsoft bragging about all that "Exclusive" Fallout 3 DLC? Yeah, real honesty right there.... And this E3 is no better. Their showcase of "exclusive" titles were filled with multiplats, and I don' think any (intelligent) posters on here would debate it.

For Microsoft if they have a timed exclusive, it's called exclusive.

If they have a home console exclusive, it's called exclusive.

But all this really has no bearing on the OP. Microsoft and Sony have subsidized game commercials for years. Sony did it a ton with the PS2, and MS has done it more this generation, but both have always done it, and I don't see how there is a problem. The game gets publicity, the Console manufacturer gets publicity, and since they both paid for the commercial, they both got what they wanted. With how common this has become, I'm surprised this is suddenly an "issue".

Why is every thread of yours an ANTI-Microsoft one?

[QUOTE="RTUUMM"][QUOTE="The_Game21x"] And Sony certainly didn't say FFXIV was an exclusive title even though it's coming to the PC did they? Oh wait...heretrix

You'd be right, and that's because at the time, it was true. XIII has not been always in development for the 360. That revelation came at last year's E3.

Now, if you wanna show evidence of Sony proclaiming XIII exclusivity in the past year, then you'll have something to contribute here. Otherwise you're just trolling with misinformation.

TC, you are very new to gaming, and the gameing buisness too, aren't you?

[QUOTE="RTUUMM"] Um........... if you watch E3 you will hear the guy say "PS3 will be the only console that FF14 will be on". He never said it was exclusive to PS3, he just said console. Basicly saying that no you will see it on the 360. santoron

Listen, if you are going to call me a troll, at least do it if I'm actually trolling.If you can't take the truth then don't enter the discussion. I am not trolling or flaming. Square announced FF XIII as a PS3 exclusive and now it isn't. This is fac and that's all I was pointing out. If you can't handle it then there are other threads you can go into.

This is nothing new. FIFA 09 was advertised as a PS3 game in Europe even though it's on a lot of other platforms as well.
