Then you combine the PSP and PS2 sales of SM with Wii and it still outsold Homcoming and we're back to square flipping one... See it from the publishers perspective man

As I mentioned before, the PS2 and PSP releases of Shattered Memories were $30.

Homecoming for 360 and PS3 were $60. We don't know how many copies the PC version sold but it was cheaper.

The publisher is going back to HD so that gives you an idea of which was more profitable or has more potential.


*sigh* You know they've been switching back and forth this entire time right?  Climax studios made Origins on PSP and PS2 with meh reception, Double Helix made Homecoming to a meh reception, Climax studios went up to bat again with Shattered Memories on Wii, PS2, and PSP met with really good reception and better sales, and now they're putting Vatra games on Downpour and they specialize in FPS and action games... and have experience on... you guessed it PS3 and 360... it's really a no brainer that the developers are making the games on a platform they're experienced on.

Mainly I don't give a flip if Downpour isn't on Wii, I don't even care about that argument, it's just retarded to go "combined sales of HD platforms!" and then not do it when another game has more sales than even the combined HD sales... as for the whine about PS2 and PSP Shattered Memories was 30 bucks, they also had less work put into them vs the Wii version, even cheaper than Wii to develop on, and PS2 became an open platform not long ago, I'm pretty sure royalty fees are rather slim now-a-days unlike some other consoles I know like Wii, PS3, and 360, add to that PSP royalty fees have gone down the drain since piracy became so bad as Sony lowered them for incentives to publishers, so 30 bucks is easily representative of not only the lesser work applied but also not having to pay as much to Sony for putting it out there and means more money for Konami.

Basically I'm saying you have yet to provide one lick of evidence to prove your case but what I'm stating is common knowledge and sense.  Downpour I'm iffy on trusting since Homecoming wasn't great and was handled by a noobish team and Downpour is being handled by a team that's only other game is an XBL and PSN title, their developers are experienced but the team is new, and I'm not sold from the videos, pictures, and premise so far... not to mention the music...
