you can note that every exclusive game for PS2, in the box, they did not write the sentence " only on PS2 ".. while we can read the exclusivity sentence on the GC-XB titles.. any good explanation for this ? is this a premeditated move by publishers or Sony ?

 

[The End]

because Sony isn't trying to prove anything?

 

[Wario64]

Sony fanboys are educated enough to figure out what's exclusive and what isn't. Heehaa

 

[Miburou]

I think Nintendo started it with the "Only on" tag (did it start with N64 or SNES games), and MS, as always, is just following suit.

When you're number one, you don't draw any attention to any other competitor, even in wasy that only imply it.

I think it started on SNES.

You can see it on the GBA games too I believe

 

[Gattsu25]

I never understand the "Only for [...]" quotes on games that have always been Multi-console

 

[Kutaragi Hirai]

WOW .. really good answers for my question

man this is Sony, no cheap methods to attracting customers

What do you mean? Multi-console games never have the only for tag, unless the game had a timed exclusive release (e.g. RE4 GC, Splinter Cell Xbox)

 

[The End]

For the last two generations, "only on" tags have meant "you can't get this on playstation"

superb.. I am very happy to be one of the members of GAF

 

[Drek]

As far as Sony is concerned, there is no other consoles.

T3H W@R IZ OVAR!

 

[SantaC]

yes it started on snes. Super Metroid had the only on tag.

only for in this case.

That's usually true, but there is always...

Always got a kick out of that.

:lol :lol :lol

maybe it's a 1 cart exclusive or something...

 

[Kobun Heat]

IIRC "only for" has also been used in cases where there are console-exclusive features. Which is a little dishonest, but not ENTIRELY false. I guess.

that's what I've always thought too.

Xbox Splinter Cell never had the "Only For Xbox" on it.

 

[Wario64]

I must have been thinking of the commercial then or something, oops

 

[Scott]

Some PSOne games had "Only on PlayStation." on the back of the boxes, usually the last item on the feature lists. It's hard to find back boxart for older titles, but I was able to find these:

I believe it stopped sometime in '98, for whatever reason.

 

[The End]

by '98 Sony was eating Nintendo's lunch on a daily basis.

IIRC "only for" has also been used in cases where there are console-exclusive features. Which is a little dishonest, but not ENTIRELY false. I guess.

that would explain why virtually every GBA title has had that on the box, then.

 

[Guns N' Poops]

There is actually one game in Europe, which exclusivity is shown on the cover.

But that's it. They are proud to have the exclusive FIA license, or something.
