This is a good thread, but not the direction that us users have taken it. Even as a Sony fanboy I am going to have to say yes, that it should have been a 360 exclusive. This game appeals to 360 fans the same way Last Guardian, Demon's Souls, etc. appeals to the PS3 fan base. It could have been made better and recieved more hype.
I would not have been bitter not recieving it.

Thank you so much for actually understanding the thread! After the hundreds of comments, many of which didn't even refer to the actual topic of the thread and instead turned this somehow into a "Why did Buletstorm fail thread", I was really losing faith in the thread. I completly agree this is one of those instances where being exclusive would have actually helped a game. It all just adds up and makes sense from a marketing point of view. But most will ignore those points and instead just blame Killzone 3, which honestly is a joke. KZ3 is an amazing game but only did 500k first week. VERY far from monstorous sales it wasn't just KZ3 eating its sales. Huge launches like Halo and Call of Duty do that kind of stuff, not a 500k launch. Bulletstorm also didn't recieve the hype it could have had it been an exclusive game.

If Bulletstorm had sold 200,000 on the PS3 last week you wouldn't even had started this thread and it wouldn't have mattered a damn if it was multiplat or not.
But because it had a bad first week on PS3 suddenly you know everything.
If it makes a remarkable comeback and outsells the x360 version should they then have made it a PS3 exclusive?
And to say that K3 had nothing to do with it's sales is just dumb.
I had the choice between the two and I choose K3. From other sites I gather quite a few others did this too. How do you know 50% of those who bought K3 made that choice over Bulletstorm and would have bought bulletstorm otherwise?
But then I can see behind this thread.
