Releasing on PS3 and 360 is a mistake, wastes time, money and resources to make the game excellent instead of just good. I'll buy a next gen console for this game (as long as it's more like DAO than 2, bloody dialog wheel better be gone, I don't want to know my choices).

Mistake? 150 million users... they want that money for sure.


Those wont be the number of active members when the game releases. If you own a PS3 and a PS4 and have the option to buy it on either one, why would you buy it on PS3 when you can get a better version for the same price? Same with X1 and 360. Yes some people wont be upgrading but if this is a 2014 release I would guess an install base of 30 million for both next gen console and that will cut down the number of PS3/360 users that buy the game. Not a large number compared to 150 but its still a decent number of players

 

One thing I am curious about is how much if any these cross gen games will hurt sales of next gen consoles. Games like GTA5 not being on either is one less reason to upgrade but that is a different topic for another day when we see if actually amounts to anything
