Very few games announced to be exclusive end up on 360 and never after launch (except for one that added cross dash or something to the end of it's name and sold poorly on both), FFXIII is pretty much the only one I can think of, alot of games that were assumed exclusives because of the series but ended up getting paid off by MS or just going with the flow either way, but yeah MS seems to be putting its money into buying timed exclusives rather then making it, and I feel really bad for anyone that bought their system for those games, I mean Sony was forced to make exclusives and they get the timed good ones so I pretty much got the best of both worlds at this point |
- Tekken 6
- Quantom Theory
- LA Noire
- Assassin's Creed
- Final Fantasy
Ah post like this one makes it obvious how some people are trying to forget how small Xbox and how big PS2 was. When I bought a Xbox 360 in 2005 I never expected to play games like Final Fantasy. I bought the console because of Live, Halo and Fable. MS announced Resident Evil, GTA, Final Fantasy and Tekken to be on the Xbox 360 some time later.
And no, MS did not pay them to be on the Xbox 360. As a publisher / developer it would be just stupid to focus on the console with the smallest userbase. You can't create a 20 mio USD game and just ignore a 45 million userbase. Publishers / developers WANT to have their games on the Xbox 360. Just like they want to have it on PS3. It is that simple. This shows how big the Xbox 360 has become and how the PS3 declined. With a market share like last gen, we wouldn't even talk about it. Hell, there wouldn't be something like VGC, because sales would have been as boring as hell.
MS might have paid for GTA IV DLC, true. But so did Sony for MoH / Dead Space Limited Editions. Somehow MS is always moneyhatting something and Sony gets 3rd party exclusive stuff "because they have such a good relationship". Fanboy logic amazes me.
Imagine not having GamePass on your console...
