what's the point of timed exclusives?
>>713427091 (OP)Timed exclusives? As in cosmetics?
>>713427091 (OP)Sony thinks people won't wait a year or two
The point is to fool suits to think it has any effect on hardware/subscription sales.
>>713427091 (OP)It tricks retards. (investors and customers)
same reason as discounts after a few years
games, movies, books, they're all more valuable when they're released
granting exclusivity for that pariod of hightened value is a half measure of granting total exclusivity
It's just good business sense
>>713427091 (OP)If you're in the business of selling hardware it's generally a good idea to do things that make it desirable.
>>713427592>it's generally a good idea to do things that make it desirable.That is called a perpetual exclusivity.
>>713428194No. Just femoid cosplayer.
Boosting first week sales
Double tapping
Money
>>713427091 (OP)Tricking retards into buying a specific platform. If GTA VI was a PS5 exclusive for a week, 99% of the first month sales would come from there and Sony would sell a ton of PS5s.
>>713427971That's how it was for a long time, market showed it's not as profitable. You can just bribe a dev for a timed exclusive, while a perpetual exclusive would cost a lot more and would probably mean deep involvement during development.
>>713427971What makes you think I don't know that perpetual exclusivity is one of several options? Are you unable to read the thread?
