Of course, multiplat titles are the lion's share of games these days. The prominence of the exclusive has dwindled greatly. Even moreso with Microsodt, who shares its "exclusives" with the PC platform. Titanfall would be an example of that. I can understand if you don't want to invest in PC gaming, but it rings hollow to call that an "exclusive."
Further, while pattern recognition seems to border on a superpower 'round these parts, Microsoft has a tendency to have a strong initial audience then more or less abandon the market except for the bare bones moneymakers. Unless you
want Kinect titles, this last generation bears that out. And even with Kinect titles, there wasn't much gold there. Sony has been pretty consistent with returns in the first party category.
Of course, for me, this is purely academic because I don't give a shit about most of the first party games. Titanfall looks as "meh" as anything Sony offered last gen. Dead rising's going to try and clone Call of Duty. Sunset overdrive is another co-op shooter from the guys who managed to turn Overstrike into Fuse. However, if you think Microsoft is going to change its stripes, you just might be a "sucker" after all.
Yes, you can buy multiple consoles. Go ahead and buy all three. Buy whatever you want. Doesn't make it a smart consumer practice or a good long-term buy. Or even a good short-term buy, but hey.
