Well, here’s a proper Christmas surprise from GamingBolt. Sony started an official YouTube page for its Japan Studio and instead of showing off exclusives, they showcased videos of Sea of Thieves and Zelda: Breath of the Wild. I know the company has a history of teasing games coming out years later but they shouldn’t fool customers with products exclusive to the competition. That’s just plain ridiculous and fraudulent.
The channel will only show content related to Sony and games coming to PlayStation 4 and PlayStation VR. Sea of Thieves and Zelda: Breath of the Wild won’t be part of it because they have nothing to do with Sony’s Japan Studio. I don’t know why they would even include the games and make it seem like they were coming to PlayStation 4. The footage showcased in the clips depict games coming to PlayStation 4 but then they show Sea of Thieves and Zelda: Breath of the Wild. To be honest, both of those clips stand out because they’re very different from the other monotonous footage. It’s definitely bizarre and I’m not sure why they would purposely deceive consumers like this.
According to the videos provided by GamingBolt, the gameplay was showcased during the E3 sections where the hosts were discussing titles they were excited to play on PlayStation devices.
What do you think of this? Do you think it’s an honest mistake or are they trying to mislead consumers? Had the games been obscure titles we aren’t sure will be exclusive I would understand, but everyone knows Sea of Thieves is an Xbox One and Windows 10 exclusive and Zelda: Breath of the Wild will be on Nintendo’s systems. They did this on purpose to mislead and confuse gamers. I guess pretending that the competition’s blockbusters are coming to your device is one way to sell consoles.
