Awesome comparison of MGS4 and MGR. ¬¬
I don't know. It depends. Dark Souls sold more than Demon's Souls, combined, so going multiplatform didn't hurt at all. Mass Effect is the same case, they sold much more units by going multiplatform. |
Yes, but 2.08 compared to 1.68 is not a huge amount when you figure that the ps3 version of dark souls should have been way higher than 1.45 based on the game being much better.
Mass Effect was not announced multiplat at release.

Why should have been higher? Demon's/Dark Souls is a very demanding game; it's not for everyone's taste. I can bet that out of those 1.68 in Demon's Souls, there are plenty of people that didn't enjoy the ride. Even if we argue wether Demon or Dark is better, It's the natural progression of a saga; unless you reinvigorate and do something revolutionary (And this is largely relative, because sometimes it is odd what people demand of a new game - you add too much, people'll complain. You don't add anything at all, they complain too), the saga will keep selling less and less. By going multiplatform they sold more, that's a fact. There's no reason that, if having been exclusive, it would have sold more than the spiritual predecessor.
I did not know that about Mass Effect, though. I though that when 2 went gold, it had a multiplatform release.

2 was launched with pc and 360 and later announced ps3.

Thank you. :3 Everyday's school day!
