Zones on 16 March 2009
| mrstickball said: Zones - the problem is that Sony 'can' do it too, but with a lower hardware install base, and lower software attach ratio, it will be harder for Sony to negotiate any sort of exclusivity. That's what gives Microsoft a huge advantage: The X360 sold 38 million extra software units last year over Sony, or 45% higher. Developers know that, and therefore would ask for more to offset potential losses of developing for the PS3 over the X360. |
I agree with you that it will be harder for Sony to negotiate with third-parties for exclusive contents. But if you look at third-party games on PS3, they sell pretty well, I mean if a crappy port like Fallout 3 could manage to sell 1.3 million units on PS3, then don't you think it would be hard for MS to secure the exclusivity of Bethesda's next title?
