Yup the budget doesn't come close. No idea why it's mentioned either.
It was being worked on years before its official announcement. Articles go back that far. I would be very surprised if the PS4 version is anything different.

What are the 3 party AAA Exclusives on or coming to PS4?

Yeah, there's loads of 'Playstation' exclusive games (Either also on PS3, Vita or both as well as PS4) on the way. But the definition of AAA has lost all meaning these days so I wouldn't know how I'd categorise them tbh.

Wait wuhmmm am I missing something here by sying: The next Ratchet and Clank?
AAA exclusivities doesn't exist these days without money involved.
Nah it won't, at the very least it'll run in much higher resolution.

Third party AAA exclusives are a thing of past. You do get third parties releasing exclusive games due to companies offering publishing funds, helping with development or outright funding the game.
Now third party exclusives that are not AAA (excluding Indies) still exist primarily in Japan. Expect PS4 to get a lot of Japanese third party exclusives just like the PS3.

Thanks. Find it strange there isn't one or two developer (publically anyway) making a game for the such a powerful platform with that large of an install base.

There's 3 AAA Mario party style games coming to ps4?
Why would they when you can add the 5/6+ million XB1 owners and a PC version to potential sales?

I wouldn't use AAA as criteria for this because there are only like 10 of those a year period. 'bigger than indie' would work and if thats the case things like D5, persona and deep down are pretty snazzy to just get defacto exclusive. Disgaea probably wont expand the fanbase too much but I think P5 will be pretty big worldwide relatively speaking

It's not that strange, why would they do that when they can just make the same game and release it on 2 other platforms at the same time?
What do third parties get out of console exclusivity? I can understand if your games just don't sell on other platforms like the ASW fighters so making the port is not worth the trouble, but for AAA publishers?
I consider it AAA now.
I'm surprised that you think the PS3 version would be of the same resolution as the PS4 version.
It seems we are getting the best out of developers when they focus a game on one platform instead of having to deal with parity and what not. Just my observation.
I mean isn't less third party exclusives a good thing aside from those who want to have it as "fuel." If they are third party devs why restrict platforms released on?

But they can still do that anyways if they feel like it. Both consoles have similar architecture, it's not like devs have to deal with something complicated like the Cell.
There is only AAA
AAA Title are like Watch Dogs or GTA V
big budget, developed from big teams, has a big marketing strategy

AAA: Games with the highest development budgets and levels of promotion.
There's no definition for the rest.

Define "big".

1) AAA games are expensive these days. Whats the incentive for devs to make their games exclusive? PS4's install base may be big but that doesn't negate the audience on other platforms.
2) Money hatting AAA exclusives is very expensive. We saw how despite Destiny being multiplatform it sold more PS4's than what Halo 3 did for the 360.
3) Many of PS2's exclusives (AAA at the time) were Japanese. The big Japanese devs since then have adopted a multi-platform approach as costs increase. Is there any point in the PS4 getting FFXV/KH3/MGSV exclusive when 80+% of its sales will be on PS4. Those games are still selling PS4's.

I'm not surprised that ps4 doesn't have 3rd party exclusive. Investing in 3rd party is probably as expensive as investing money to make their own game and also they won't own the IP.
as well as Third Party, since From Software is doing most of it. But sure.
AAA games are dying to start with, there's just not enough of a market anywhere to support those kinds of budgets. Japan is cross gen for whatever little effort they can scrounge up, but that's fine enough for me.
I'm happy enough with the AA stuff we're getting so far.

It's the way how a publisher show his new game
look on GTA V
They spent over 300 Mio. $
They've done a big marketing all over the world, on newspaper, magazines, tv-ads and more
I think you can not define it by numbers, there are a lot of factors that are dependent

You can still have really good looking games even when you go multiplat, see ACU, The Witcher 3 and The Division.

I wasn't thinking of resolution when I said that. Was mainly thinking of textures and what not.
A higher resolution is easy to expect but I can see the PS3 and PS4 versions even having the same resolution depending on how the port is handled.
Just have to wait and see.
According to this logic Demon's Souls is a 3rd party exclusive.
From doing most of the work means nothing.

Where do you get the idea that this is bad?
AAA didn't really use to be a thing, it blew up last gen and the industry suffered with many studios and publishers folding. Also, 3rd party AAA is historically very rarely exclusive.

I don't understand, how's that an exclusive?
The thing is PS4 already has the AAA exclusives that matters called 1080p
But seriously, does there exist any?
Fake edit: And no about those Japanese games, even if I prefer them, if we put them up to western AAA its a no on the AAA front, at least the exclusives.
Says the man that nearly only play PSV/3DS

Isn't Hellblade timed exclusive? Does that even count? It's basically like TR2 for X1.

No I highly highly doubt they have the same resolution.

Uhh that's on the Xbox One and PC (Ground Zeroes and The Phantom Pain.)
If this is a joke I don't get it :/
I doubt it too but I am not ruling anything out. Then again they would need something significant like that to differentiate between both versions.
What EA, Acti, Ubi and co put in their flagship titles... i dunno at least 30, 40 millions?
yeah, something like that
Probably referencing Major Nelson's tweet last year. Other than that I don't know.
