Just because they said so doesn't mean it's the truth. You aren't going to say to the bigger crowd of your fans that you've screwed their game just to get some more cash.

So we move into theory and guesswork then? Sorry, but I can't be bothered to discuss that.

 

The game will allways be better as exclusive.

Really? The only games I can recall that were negatively impacted by going multiplat, were games that had shoddy ports, and even then, only the ports were bad. I doubt the 360 version of Bayonetta was impacted by the PS3 port, and I don't see how giving PS3 owners the game is bad, when there was no felt impact on the 'original'.

In other words, more guesswork then.

 

I'm worried about the quality going down from the need to optimalize it for two platforms instead of one. That's undeniable fact.

I'll have to trust you on that, you're the only one who can tell me what you worry about after all.

 

What I've said can be reached by a very simple logical conclusion. While the first may be theorycrafting, the rest is fact. If you can't grasp the very basic concept, that utilitizing the full power of one platform is allways better than meddling around on two, trying to make them both the same "ammount" of bad.

Everything is guesswork unless you can back it up with bulletproof claim, which you can't in any case, unless we are talking tautology.

There is nothing to grasp. You're assuming that technological improvements will lead to better games, which is wrong. Yes, improved technology can help make better games, but it is never guaranteed. I thought Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare was better than Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, despite MW2 being technologically superior (and that's before we consider the gimped multiplayer on PC).

Assassin's Creed 2 wasn't better than the first game because of the technology either. There weren't many technological changes from the first game to the second, the tech was in many ways the same from the first game but optimized and with some additions. What made AC2 better was the gameplay changes, and the tech changes had little effect on that.
