New/niche games have a better chance of selling well on a new console. Customers are more open-minded at that time than they are mid to late gen.

If it was on PS360, it would probably have sold worse than the first considering how saturated the sales of those consoles are thanks to a gen that has been going on to long.

Even if this was true, putting the title on all three consoles would still result in the most sales.

Maybe/Maybe not ...

While it seems counter-intuitive, the fewer platforms a high quality game is on the higher profile the game becomes; and the earlier in the lifespan of a console the higher profile an exclusive game becomes. A large portion of the reason for this is that later in a console's life games can get lost in the library (after all the system is seeing a steady stream of games and has a massive library of budget games)  so games released earlier stand out more, and exclusive games attract a lot of hype (sometimes just for stupid reasons, like someone saying "Name something the Wii U can do that the HD consoles can't" and then  someone answers "Play Bayonetta 2").
