There is a big speculation in your first paragraph and I can't take it as an argument because you can't proove that, it's just what you think/believe. The fact is: It was a PS3 exclusive and now it's selling better on the x360.

Yes, there are great deal of exclusive franchises (like GTA Microsoft) but it will never give you more money than "versions for all consoles" because your game will be able to be popular on all consoles and then you can release DLC, sequels and updates (like Super Street Fighter IV), you will have a larger userbase for your game/franchise and earn even more money. If you take the GTA Microsoft case and do the math  you will realise that an exclusive deal won't give you more money than release on all platforms, you will see that 50 millions isn't enough. :)

Paragraph 1: It was never up for pre-order as a PS3 exclusive. I'm willing to bet I could have gone anywhere in the world and found that most people had no clue (internet-goers maybe, but even then, the number likley wasn't anything significant). Rarely does a franchise that's once exclusive to a specific console fair better on a different console. Rarely.

Paragraph 2: I'm still not sure why you push that issue, as that wasn't what the discussion was about. That's a whole different discussion for a whole other topic. I asked him what the significance of his statement was, he answered, and it looked nothing like what you assumed. In other words, your point is for a differennt subject.

You are again making speculations about the number of people who knew that it was a PS3 exclusive. I don't need to see a preorder at gamestop in order to know that a game exists.

I am not assuming anything, you asked why it's significant to be the leading platform on preorders. He gave his opinion and I gave my opinion. I saw his comment before and I didn't tried to show you what he was thinking, I just gave my opinion.

But yes, it's off-topic, I though I could just give my opinion without any troubles. I will focus on the true subject.
