There is no chance the Insomniac will move multiplatform, Sony would be willing to buy them out if they had to, or to pay for the exclusivity, Insomniac do not have to move platform to get high sales. Ratchet has sold decently, and should move to 1m eventually. Resistance is over 2.3m, which is extremely impressive on the PS3. Resistance 2 should sell even more. Insomniac will stay PS3 exclusive (until PS4)

Except the article hints that they are interested and they have no intention of being bought.

It's true they don't have to move to multiplatform to get more sales but multiplatform still means more sales which means more money which in the end is what it is all about.


He doesn't hint that at all. He clearly says they don't have the bandwidth to make multi platform games and in Insomniac's case multi platform might not mean more money as they will lose majority of Sony's money and support and they are not a publisher. Which means they will have to find one to publish their games multi platform. I'm sure Ubisoft, EA or Activision would step up but that would also cut into Insomniac profit who would then have to stand on their own rather than have Sony support pillar to rest on.

Also, Insomniac don't own the Ratchet or Insominac IP's so they would have to create something totally new as Sony would never allow an IP they own to go on a MS or Nintendo game system.


 First off, I 100% we will never see Ratchet & Clank or Resistance on the 360 or Wii or see Insomniac release something for another platform within the next two years.  Just setting things straight in case people misunderstand me.

What this article does hint at is that Insomniac does see the advantage and they are completely open to it when they have the manpower.  What that means is they don't have it at the moment because they are already committed to working on other projects.  As they finish projects, they will have the bandwidth to make different games if they see fit.

Does this confirm that they will make one of their games multiplatform?  Of course not.

Does this confirm that they will make any game for any other platform?  No.

Does this open the possibility that they will make a game for another platform?  Yes.
