multiplats are doing fine on the ps3 (well most of them)
its exclusives that are most likely having a hard time breaking even with development costs. heavenly sword for example, is one of the biggest budget games this generation and at 600, 000 sold so far, it doesn't look like it will end up making much if any profit for the developer.

ratchet and clank is another example, this game was apparently insomniac's biggest project yet and sales have been crushingly dissapointing so far.

developers won't stop making multiplats for the ps3, but i have a feeling theres not going to be many 3rd party exclusives if this continues.

Resistance took awhile before finally nudging the 1 million mark. The same thing with Motorstorm.

I don't know about Heavenly Sword since that has been out longer, but Ratchet and Uncharted could get to 1 million, but it will still take a little time.

Comparing a launch game (Resistance) and a launch and bundled game (Motorstorm, was launch in Europe where it seems to have got most of its sales) sales curve to a game that was released one year after release is meaningless. The sales curves are completely different.

 


You realize that both games broke 1 mil BEFORE being bundled right?
