Actually, RE5 sold 2.7 on PS3, 2.5 on 360. Also, 'to make more money', is that the attitude the industry should take? I mean, what's the point of multiple systems then? Mass Effect started as an Xbox franchise. IMO, that's where it should remain. |
Yes, in case you didn't realize, publishers are in the business of making money. I'm not saying that EA is going to port Mass Effect, or that they should, or need to. I'm just saying that as a publisher, out to maximize profits for their investors, there could potentially be a market for Mass Effect on the PS3. Bioshock and Lost Planet each sold 500k on the PS3, and those were year old ports (and Lost Planet was a poor port). I'm sure the sequels will do even better when they are released day and date with the XBox360 version.
EA doesn't care that in your opinion, Mass Effect should remain exclusive. If EA decides not to port Mass Effect, it won't be to give the XBox360 a unique franchise. It'll be purely for business reasons. They could care less about your desire to have different games on each system. I don't even know why you keep bringing it up.
It's up to Microsoft to get people to buy an XBox360, not third party publishers and developers.
