No 3rd party developer is stupid enough to have a game exclusive to 1 platform. This goes especially for already established franchises. Have you see how Bioshock and Mass Effect sell? The sales don't match the hype and reviews. |
When it comes to 3rd parties developing for one system it comes down to how big and experience the developer is for the multiple systems they want to devlelop for. It cost a lot of money, time and resources to develop for more than one platform. Sometimes publishers will contract out that work to another developer. What you are probably thinking is no BIG time publisher will commit to just one platform as that can limit their profitbility. A developer on the other hand is best to concentrate on one system as trying to release a game on many different hardware because it splits your time and development for the number of people you have and can reduce the quality of your games.
There are plenty of developers that only concentrate on one or 2 platforms. Also MS has their own IPs sitting around waiting for MS to either have internal team or external teams get to work on.
I do agree that established IPS that are multiplat already will not be up for grabs.

This gen will be easier than ever to port between platforms.
|
So basically you think MS wont retain any 3rd party exclusives, can't attract any 3rd party exclusives and cat buy any 3rd part exclusives.
What a surprise.

When the hell did I say that?

You said they couldn't buy any in response to me. But that dosn matter because my statemrnt is covered by this statement you made:
"No 3rd party developer is stupid enough to have a game exclusive to 1 platform. This goes especially for already established franchises"
That seems pretty final. I imagine it doesn't apply to anything Sony related though...... Obviously.
|
I said they couldn't buy any as in whatever they wanted. How did you take this out of context? My comment was pretty clear.

Yes this is what I wrote. I stand by it. I even provided examples of games like Bioshock and Mass Effect which underwhelm with their sales.
|
So no exclusives 3rd party games next gen then, except from stupid developers.
|
The big publishers won't have AAA games with huge budgets exclusive to one platform. We'll probably see some indie titles and some risky new IP though.
Basically, don't expect the Battlefields, FIFAs or Call of Duties to be exclusive to any one platform. Not even timed.
