It would be about the same actually since the extra 10 dollars for PS3 and 360 would be able to cover the extra development cost on those systems.


I sincerely hope you were just trying to be funny.

A $60.00 PS3 game sells 100,000 units would generate $6 million in revenue.

A $50.00 Wii game sells 100,000 units would generate $5 million in revenue.

 

That's hardly making up he difference if it costs double or triple to produce a PS3 game vs a Wii game.

 

Then again, a mutiplatform game isn't bound by this console specific problem as development costs are amortized across all platfroms.


 

 

 


 First off a 60 dollar game is not 6 million in revenue, much like a 50 dollar game is not 5 million in revenue, and as you said it's a multiplatform game, which means 360 and PS3 shares development cost and Wii - PS2 shares development costs, overall the 10 dollar difference IS to make up for the added development cost on the 360 - PS3, this has been said plenty of times by MS and Sony themselves.

 

As far as the original question, I forgot to answer, I'll say FFXIII, MGS4 and GTA4 are the only ones that I see  being sure 3rd party million sellers on the system, sure UT3, CoD4, Madden, etc can be too, but it'd be way more difficult, I'm gonna say MGS4 or GTA4, whichever comes out first.
