Can't help but see a pattern here, notice how most of the Non-exclusive were worse games than the previous ones |
I dunno...I enjoyed them *Kanye shrug*
You think they were so much worse than the previous ones, that sales remained roughly equivalent, and if they were better, they'd have sold millions more?
I'm doubting that. Ghosts was the worst Call of Duty in recent history and still sold 23.49M copies vs. 27.4 for MW3 (highest selling PS3/360 combo) or better yet, vs. 23.76M for MW2, since quality is the issue you're bring up, and MW2 was the best one (at least in my opinion).
I'm just saying, unless the game revolutionizes either its own series or the entire genre and brings in new gamers, it will sell roughly the same, multiplatform or exclusive, because the current fanbase is still the same, so they'll get it regardless. Tekken has roughly "4 million fans", so if Tekken 7 came out tomorrow, around 4 million people would buy the game, whether they get a PS4 to do it, get an XBone to do it, or have both consoles already and pick one platform over the other. There won't be "2 million new fans" just because the game is multiplat, because those people wouldn't care, unless Tekken 7 made moves in the fighting genre. Like what COD4 did for shooters.
edit: oh yea, and I forgot to mention, in my examples that, all those games went multiplat and sold the same.....but MGS4 stayed exclusive and outsold Snake Eater. That was more proof for my case, per se
