| RSEagle said: So you would be perfectly happy if every third party game was available for all consoles? I hope you know that third party games have helped establish a console's identity in the video game industry. Take for example Final Fantasy 7, if that was released for N64 and Playstation at once, most people would have chosen the N64 one because N64 had a much stronger presence in the market. However it was exclusive to PS, it led the system to success and now Final Fantasy is something that is associated with the Playstation brandname, even though it's third party. |
Who cares if it's associated with the Playstation name? That only helps Sony out, not gamers. I'm sure there were many millions of gamers that would have loved to be able to have FFVII on their N64.(I know it wasn't possible, let's not get into that argument)
A console should have an identity through the features it offers and the quality of first party support it has. Everything else can go to every console for all I care, because then I won't have to buy so many of them. I'm sure most gamers feel the same way in regards to that.
When Devil May Cry 4 was announced multiplatform, fans of Sony got really pissed. Why? Because they didn't want to lose an exclusive. It wasn't that they were worried it wouldn't show up on PS3 because it still was, they just didn't want 360 owners to have the privilige of playing it. It's just selfishness. Let everyone get in on the fun.
