Point out where in the arguement I said the shooter market is better on the PS3 then the 360. I never said that. Maybe you should re-read what I said. 30% of PS3 owners have a 360. If they had a 360 when bioshock came out and never got it then, then why wouldn't they get it for 360 now since they have one and it would be the cheaper version?
Oh, and wow, you found one game as a counter. To bad that was bait I left for you. Everyone knows you don't go into a arguement in this style with one exception. Exceptions always exist. I could bring up the fact that burnout paradice sold more on 360 then ps3, even though 360 is known for racing and has a larger atache rate, or that UT3 sold better on PS3 then 360. Exceptions exist, but who cares? My arguement remains the same and is right. |
Wow, are you for real?
I'm not arguing about the shooter market on the 360 and I never claimed you were, I'm saying that timed exclusives do not always necessarily do worse on the second system, which was your original assertion. The timed exclusive is an almost entirely new concept, and we don't have enough data points to claim that there is an especially large trend in these sales patterns independent of market segmentation in either direction.
That's not "bait". With a number of data points this small, it only takes one exception to disprove a supposition, especially when said supposition is an absolute. One exception is all it takes, but there have been several. Hell, RE4 on the Wii sold better than the Gamecube version in the same timeframe, too, and that wrote the book on being delayed.
And you're going to have to cite that 30% figure, because I'm calling bullshit.
