Third parties will need sales on both consoles to make back the huge HD development cost. Publishers are not going to suddenly dump development for a console with 22% market share to develop solely for the console with 29% market share. |
Very good analysis.
Even if this beatdown that Microsoft is giving Sony (relatively) was to continue indefinately, the likely scenario is that 3rd parties drop exclusivity support entirely for the Playstation 3 - no Vs. XIII, no exclusive KH3 (if it came to PS3, and not the Wii), and so on.
In the end, it MAY help the X360 to see limited, continued support of a few 3rd party exclusives, here and there, which would primarily be X360/PC-centric titles.
If this leads to Valkyria Chronicles coming to the X360, as well as Vs. XIII, I am all for it :)
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
