Forums - Sony Discussion - Would putting Killzone 2 on the Xbox 360 help Sony be profitable?

For years now we have heard continually that third parties are throwing away massive amounts of profit by making games exclusive to one high-definition console or another.  Bioshock, Vesperia, Star Ocean 4 etc.

We have also heard for years that Xbox 360 is a shooter console, and that all it's fans buy a lot of shooters.

Many of the people who routinely use this argument also support Killzone 2.

We all know that both the HD consoles are similar in power so that's not an issue, and here we have a real chance to help Sony out.  They have spent so much making this game that it's actually conceivable they wont profit on it.

 

So I would like to enlist the help of all those advocates of multi-platform and Killzone 2 that want Sony's game division to survive the recession in tact, to get Killzone 2 on the Xbox 360 asap.

If we can successfully take Sony's game strategy from:

PS3 + ???? = Profit

to:

PS3 + Killzone 2 on Xbox 360 = Profit

we can save gaming.

Why on earth would it be locked?

It's a revolutionary economic plan based on the airtight logic of Sony fans?

Link?

We heard all sorts of rumours putting it at over $60 million and that was YEARS ago and I dont think we got any more concrete information.  We heard about how they had three different Sony first party studios developing the title, over 120 staff at Guerilla and massive marketing budgets?

If thats anywhere close to true, it may need to sell over 2 million full price copies to break even.

kz2 on xbox360 = one less reason to get ps3 = sony lose money = no ps4 = no kz3
so no



Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.
