Not big or surprising news, but Titanfall is officially not going to PS4. It does sound like it was originally only a timed exclusive for the Xbox though.

I don't understand the relevance of MS paying for exclusivity, or why it always seems to be brought up (shockingly, it's never brought up for Sony exclusives). It's a product that has a lot of people excited, so why wouldn't MS want to make it so that you can only get it on console through them?

I think it's b/c there was so much hinting at it only being a timed exclusive, then at the last minute new news comes out about EA/Microsoft's deal. It just seems that with all that talk that Microsoft dropped off another truck of money to EA. By no means do I think it's bad, that game will sell quite a few consoles for them, so good for them.

As for the Sony comment, does Sony have any third party exclusives? That's why I think this gets more talk, b/c we don't see it that often anymore.

Sony owns most of their studios, but I don't think that that's different. They just either bought or filled muiltiple studios with talent. It's not like every Sony studio is filled with Sony lifers that worked for the company and someone at Sony went "I have an idea for a studio. We shall name it Naughty Dog."

MS would own Respawn if they could, but I'm sure those guys aren't interested after the Activision debacle. I wasn't so much calling out your post, as much as I just see that chucked around like it's a bad thing (NeoGAF is the worst with this). With the bad blood MS has right now, they need to do everyhting they can, and I think barring some catastrophe, Titanfall is the only guaranteed hit that they are associated with.

Wasn't TLOU developed by Naughty Dog?

They're owned by Sony, so they're first party, but like I said in my post, I see very little difference. I would bet Sony the company has very little say in what Naughty Dog does creatively, and I would likewise bet that if a bunch of the Naughty Dog guys ever wanted to leave, there would be some pay raises going around.

I'm not saying it's a huge difference. I just think this is why it gets a lot more coverage, b/c it's not something we see as often as we used to.

Yeah? They are a first party studio... Naughty Dog's games are published by Sony. TitanFall is being published by EA, not Microsoft.
