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

Sounds like briliant bussiness plan.

Let's sacrafice one of biggest game on own platform and one of the titles with biggest sales potential to get few more millions $ from x360 owners :)

No one aside from SCE and GG knows how much the game costs, so this whole thread is covered in rumor and speculation. And like Sony, I do not comment on rumor and speculation.



Why would Xbox owners want KZ 2? They bashed the heck out of the game for years and some are still doing it to this day despite the majority of AAA scores.



if you want to play it then buy a ps3.youd be suprised,sony knows how to make good games,unlike another consol thats been out there that can only buy good games for there machine



sony has way more experience with making games than microsoft. sony actually 'make' games not buy them.

and killzone 2 would look like killzone 1 on the 360. sorry but all you proud 360 owners who bag the sony system ALL hate on the games you cant have until theres a whiff of it coming to your system, then you're all for it.

bigots.

I assume this thread is 100% sarcasm. Just about any high profile game would sell more on multiple consoles, but if it's from a 1st party company, it would defeat the purpose of trying to get consumers to buy products on their respective consoles.

Sorry my mistake. But hey if Sony sells off Guerilla Games to EA then Kill Zone 3 can be on both PS3 and XBox 360.

Bioware was owned by MS. EA bought Bioware and now Mass Effect 2 is going to be multi-platform along with all the other upcoming Bioware IP projects.


2 things here.

  • Bioware was never owned by Microsoft.
  • If Sony sells off GG to EA, Killzone3 still won't be on the 360 because Sony would have to sell the I.P aswell

 



no wonder U'r no longer a contributor

ot: well let's make halo on ps3 and the wii too after all we are FRIENDS

 



stopped reading at sony not making profit



I say get Sony/Nintendo to team up on console/input design and 1st party SW and get MS to focus on SDK, OS, and online services and distribution as well as 3rd party relationships.



Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...

hahaha it was amusing lol they only need to sell 800000 copies to break even that will likely happen in the first week. budget for kz2 was 40 mill. no need for xbox 360 lol

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.

 


joke post? the 60million rumor was from surfer girl. i never knew she was credible... oh wait only when its negative sony rumor right? last i heard from GG budget was 30million
