To make more money. Resident Evil 5 sold 2.5 million on the PS3. AND it sold 2.7 million on the XBox360. Plus whatever it sold on the PC. Mass Effect 1 sold 2.13 million on the XBox360, plus whatever it sold on the PC. Why wouldn't you want to tap into that potential market, especially if you are a third party publisher and you have no contractual obligations to stay XBox360 exclusive? Granted, Mass Effect probably won't have nearly the same kind of success that Resident Evil 5 had. Resident Evil has always been on Playstation platforms. Mass Effect would probably have to work a bit harder to garner the same kind of audience on the PS3. But the payoff could be well worth it. |
RE5 sold 2.7m on the PS3 and 2.5m on the 360.
