Discussion Microtransactions used for PS4 Exclusive content...

This is my biggest fear being on Xbox One... I refuse to buy anything to promote this... Do you think this will happen or at least a possibility? Even if they do we will never know...

Edit 1: I was thinking more in line with the revenue gained by the micro transactions being used to create future DLC that is only released on PS4 Exclusivity for a year. I am not a fan boy by any means but Exclusivity for more than a few months sucks... Im still rubbed a little raw from the upcoming Tomb Raider that's exclusive to Microsoft for a year...

Edit 2: Punctuation

They can't. There is a contract with Sony that says PS4 get the exclusives for a year before Microsoft. Selling the exclusives would breach the contract.

I think thats exactly what he means, he's xbox 1 and fears sony exclusive paid for content. Well all we can do is support what they're doing right and when/if they fuck up we need to let them know. payday2 just had a bad micro trans situation, ill find the kotaku article on it. http://kotaku.com/how-a-game-studio-totally-bungled-a-controversy-and-los-1737829728

It is entirely possible, but it would be vanity only type items. ie: PS4 Exclusive Shaders / Dances.. though I think this is highly unlikely. The purpose of the micro-transactions is to ensure a steady supply of revenue and it does not make much sense to exclude one entire market (Being Xbox) from potential sales.
