Which seems more reasonable to you on the face of it. "Due to taking a step that usually increases sales, sales decreased" or "Due to expectations that sales would decrease, developers took steps that would normally increase sales". For instance, FF13 was a bad game, it was a bad game before the 360 version came out. The devs released it on 2 consoles to sell more. There reason it sold poorly was because it was bad, not because it was multiplat. |
FF13 released on 360 and ps3 on the same day except for japan. The japanese version was butchered aswell
and they released it on 360 because M$ had simply "asked(paid?)" them to. They originally tried to cover that up by saying that they wanted to "broaden their audience". They pretty much admitted everything after FF13 got criticised
i will look for the link and edit it in
