| binary solo said: Misrepresenting there much? This is what the Rob Dyer actuallly said: "the Mass Effects, Gears of Wars and Left 4 Deads aren't going to happen nearly as often" See that phrase? It means he thinks the number of 3rd party exclusives will reduce over time. He never said anything remotely close to "won't exist in future". It's one thing to catch industry people making ridiculous statements, it's another thing entirely to put made up ridiculous statements in their mouths so you can then suggest their sanity is in question. Seems to me Dyer is right that, especially new 3rd party IP, will more and more be multiplatform as the install bases of the different consoles become more even. Wii is the absolute market leader, but it's still no where near as dominant in market share as PS2. So this generation has a far more even spread than last generation. So it makes sense that 3rd parties are more into multi-plat releases than console exclusive than they were in the past. |
For conventional games, yes. However the Arcade titles and titles which are based off the new interfaces would likely have greater platform exclusivity so its working both ways.
