Tekken highly rated 3D fighter exclusive to PS > Tekken MP and very low sales for series Star Ocean exclusiveto PS > Abysmal sales on 360 only to get a late release on PS3, sales sucked all around. Series cancelled GTA, a technical timed exclusive to PS >= GTA4 sold on par with previous entry. Regarded as a downgrade from SA.
The evidence I feel is overwhelming. Exclusives that supposedly went MP to improve sales sale's prove anything but drastic improvement. They sell about the same or a lot less. Meanwhile you have games that remained exclusive like MGS4 and sales are equal to better. Multiplatform just dilutes the development process all around. Dividing up a fanbase or forcing them to play a guessing game of "Which console will it be on?" is down right dumb, and detrimental to a series. Thats what the Tales of... series has been seeing. Stick to one console, gamers know just where to get their fix, the experience isn't diluted during development. |
You are trying to find causality without prove, I can say that all those franchises were worst and sold worst because of HD development not because of becoming MP and it can also be truth, becoming MP is not sufficient cause to make a game worse. You are not showing evidence, and you are not showing sufficient cause: "If x is a sufficient cause of y, then the presence of x necessarily implies the presence of y. However, another cause z may alternatively cause y. Thus the presence of y does not imply the presence of x."
Is like saying that the massacre in X place was caused by videogames, because he was a videogame player. One is not a consequence of the other. One just happened in the same time frame as the other one, but that does not mean causality.
You are telling me that those games are/sold worse, because they are MP. But you cannot prove it, one is not a consequence of the other. One just happened in the same time frame as the other one, but that does not mean causality.
In other words, if every multiplatform game is worse that when the franchise was single plataform you can identify MP as a sufficient cause of becoming a worse game.
