I remember when I used to have this mindset, I acted like that in public too, damn I took huge L's back then.
It's just games man.
That being said, I would double dip or buy mainly a switch version tbh

Yup. No way would Sony pay them to miss the holidays.
Activision didn't wait. The day Crash was announced for Skylanders it was known the figures would work in other versions. It's just they were exclusive to the Playstation starter packs for a while.

Oh, I see what you did there. Yes. It would be pure twinsanity to keep it only on PS4.
If this would be the case, Then they would say "Console Exclusive". So its coming to XBOX ONE.

Yikes, and I'm the fanboy?

Yes you are lol.
Business sense would be buying stock in said company. That's an investment. A video game console is not. It's a box to play games stop trying to make it more than that.
in general, if there is a specific agreement between a hardware manufacture & a 3rd party for an exclusive deal, then cool.
other than that, a 'multi platform' business model si the best way to go if you're a third party.
i can't believe there are people that actually get a kick out of DENYING other markets/platforms specific titles, simply because it 'personally' works out for them, as an individual. what an ignorant way to look at things. that applies to all aspects of life -not just videogames.
this philosophy is archaic & embarrassing.

Your emotional investment in the PS brand got nothing to do with business sense

Sweet, if it comes to the switch I won't even have to bother with the PS4.

You are beyond help. Enjoy him gaf he will give you lots of laughs.
It's not clear to me why Crash Bandicoot being multiplatform means less revenue for Sony, unless you believe that a) Crash Bandicoot is a substantial system seller or b) a significant number of people firstly own a PS4 and an Xbone and would preferentially buy it on Xbone over PS4. Both of these seem like implausible assumptions to me; in fact I would imagine there are more people who own a PC and PS4 and would preferentially buy on PC over PS4 (myself, for instance).

So you own Sony/Playstation stock? Got it.
So you're really sitting on those Sony stocks? Because otherwise you ain't seeing a return of that money ever
You think throwing money at Sony provides you ROI despite you not owning a single Sony stock. So yeah, I'd say you are quite the fanboy.
So have you sold your stocks yet?
No joke. I'm not much into Sony's exclusives but I remember the PS1 days when Crash was even considered to be a mascott for Sony consoles, kinda like Mario...
Thanks for the clarification

The dumbest thing about Sony hiding timed exclusivity is that timed exclusivity doesn't hurt them. At all.
They're the market leader by a mile.
Microsoft has a reason to hide it. Sony doesn't.

That feeling when Crash Bandicoot becomes one of the most desperately sought after games in 2017.

Good. It would've been better for Sony to acquire Crash back when it first came out, but they didn't. That this is releasing elsewhere is better for everyone else.

Who's talking about stocks?
Lol. "Please don't release this and that on the competitor. I mean the best".

Clearly that is what this means. Though it will most likely be silently cancelled after having its release delayed. Ah, the life of a Vita owner and all the promised ports.

Agree with this 100%.
There is no shame in saying it's an exclusive until the holidays.
By not parading that fact they are simply doing nintendo and microsoft a big favour.
But on the flipside there is still shame for letting activision get hold of the license in the first place, plus it changes that sign they had in the ps4 trailer.
It now should be out of the trash and on a 3 signal traffic light with sony,nintendo and microsoft lights.

I can't wait to pop the card with this into the Switch.

Well, I kind of hope. I'll be buying it on the PS4 first.

It better with people either A begging for it on other platforms or B rigorously fighting to keep it exclusive(like why) idc who buys it somebody better! We need a new crash
ArtHands
Thinks buying more servers can fix a bad patch
Imagine you are a Sony fanboy who wants Nintendo to die and Mario, mascot of Nintendo consoles, to appear on Playstation console
But in reality Crash, (former) mascot of Playstation, is appearing on (maybe)Nintendo's console instead

It doesn't matter for them. Game was announced, playstation community is happy. Period.
The people who desperately want to know if its exclusive or not, its not their public (yet) anyway.
i want more old school style games so all the support i can give i will I understand where the people who wish for this to remain a PlayStation exclusive are coming from, as Crash 1-3 & CTR are seen as some of the PS1's most famous and important titles. I'm one of those people who, if he had the money, would only buy certain cars in certain colours, i.e. Ferrari in red, Bentley in green. I see it as more of a traditional thing than anything else.
That said, Crash needs all the exposure he can get right now. He doesn't really have the luxury of going exclusive after starring in many, many terrible games since Naughty Dog left the series. The only ones I can recommend are the two platforming GBA games which are actually pretty good, and just so happen to have been made by the same people who are doing this remakemasterplus. Activision are justified in bringing him to as many platforms as possible, to at the very least gauge how popular his games would be nowadays.
I do think this will be a significant title, contrary to some people on this forum. This trilogy does seem to be doing the rounds amongst casual audiences from what I've seen on my Facebook timeline and from speaking to others. I think the timing and price are good too, just in time for summer for when the kids leave school. I also think that Sony will focus on the family this Christmas, and I wouldn't be surprised to see a PS4 w/ Crash and Ratchet as a bundle at a cheap price, but that's just my prediction.

Perfect for Switch. Not too graphically demanding and the right audience.
It would be funny if it outsold the PS4 version.

Why are there people who want this to be an exclusive? Not everyone, who played crash back then on psx, play or own a playstation console anymore.
