| Kyros said: wow 2.2-3 million preorders? This will definitely be the biggest game yet (if true). Mutliplatform games will kill exclusives this year. |
Indeed, hence the whole one platform model discussio, it is not profitable at all for third parties to do exclusive titles in these days.
On previous generation it 90% of the market was on PS2 but on now all those PS2 users are divided between 360, PS3 and Wii users.
Publishers are strugling now because to gather the same market as previous generation (hardcore, casuals and trendy)* gamers they need to split between three skus.
Thats why the amount of sales from multiplatform titles will always be extremely superior.
*IMO - Hardcore are the people that breath games, that play to compete against people or against themselfs. They couldspend 8 hours playing pac-man or unreal tournament, it's the same, prove that you've got better skills.
- Casuals are the ones who play to have a laugh from time to time to something that it's on everyones houses
- Trendy are the ones that have a console because it's fasionable and play thinking they're the shit but the only thing they do is play Madden in US and FIFA/Pro Evo on Europe
All three of this groups play GTA IV, that's why is so awesome.
