Look at Lost Planet (sold almost 2 million on 360 and 1/2 million on PS3). The first game sold well because it was one of the earliest, graphically impressive games for the system. Of course, the game was shit but we didn't care. It looked pretty and there wasn't much to choose from. Now, look at Lost Planet 2 (sold half a million on 360 and half a million on PS3). The game is "better", it went multi-plat, but the game is still shit. There's more to choose from. Now if I wanted to, I could twist things around and say that going multi-platform killed the games momentum. That's not the case. There's just so much more to choose from--games that are actually well received by the public.
