It's not that they don't care, IDK y everybody keeps coming to that conclusion. It's just that Microsoft has SOO much money (obviously) that they rather not spend overly amount of money on a third party exclusive (which they will still get) knowing that Microsoft can easily match and surpass wat Sony offers. Since I already own a PS3 (not just cuz of FFXIII), I would rather them spend the money they could have spent on FFXIII exclusivity on funding new games/1st party studios. |
Well...like I said, if games sell exceptionally well on the 360 they might not bother putting them on the PS3. Also, assuming the games don't release at the same time on both systems and the 360 gets it first, the game will likely not sell very well on the PS3 since the hype will likely be gone. If it releases at the same time...sales will be divided. Also, you have to take in the fact that by early next year the Wii will likely be over 50% marketshare so companies (especially Japanese) might rather choose to make a Wii exclusive game and not a PS360 game. |
Well there is nothing Sony can do. This is a console war, MS is going to treat it as such and fund the 360 until it gets wat it wants (exclusives, in this case, FFXIII multi-plat). Sony can't go up against Microsoft in a bidding war, so instead of admitting that, they put that money to funding possibly more than 1 first party game and make it the best that it can be (and rightfully so) and not have to worry about ever going to the 360. Also, it aint like most third party devs won't make a game multi-plat, thats how it is now. War has changed.

Third parties have a few choices. Either release a game on the PS3 or 360 first and see if it sells well enough to not warrantba multiplat release (probably won't be the case though. I expect mostly multiplats with these games.) OR they can make a Wii exclusive game (the Wii will be over 50% marketshare early next year anyway...). |
I thought that this wasn't about Nintendo and their market share 
. Anyways, u r right, devs have a choice, big budget game on the ps3/360 or wii game. The thing with that is that some devs feel like they want to make a HD game (if that's wat they want to make) and they will no matter how much nintendo's market share is, which is also the same reason y devs would make a Wii game (if that's wat they want to make) no matter how big the HD market share is.
