So, if it's a great game, I'd rather it be exclusive because that means it has a good chance of selling a lot, and them making another one. |
Do you have any sales data that shows this? I've seen people throw this around a lot, but "lack of hype" isn't exactly holding franchises like CoD back. Overall, considering that this hype cannot even be proven to increase sales significantly, appealing to different audiences of different consoles definitely seems like the best option saleswise.
The only reason to go exclusive, I'd think, would be lower prouction costs, but then you might as well not make games for HD consoles at all.
