With the exception of IU (MS already owned the IP, they just asked tri-Ace to make it) all those moved because it would be a lot more profitable to bring those to the 360 as well as the PS3 instead of PS3 exclusive. And hey, it worked fine. With Disney, they're only gaining money from their Wii/DS offerings while their HD offerings (Turok, Pure) bomb. There's no way Disney will agree to uber high development for a console less suited to a game compared to the console they're making a tob of money from and has significantly lower development costs. |
Actually, Yoshiharu Gotanda had some ideas for a game and Microsoft agreed to publish it. That's how they acquired the IP, and supposedly they retained property rights after Square-Enix stepped in.
Good point about Turok and especially Pure. I thought Pure would sell a lot better than it did, and I wouldn't be surprised if Disney was leery of the HD twins now.
