I feel like the next big one is RE. But no idea who gets 7. Either way, hope Capcom didn't sell cheap because that's millions of copies they're losing.

I had a theory last gen, and I think it holds water. I said this in the wake of PS3 losing exclusive after exclusive. The theory is:
Going multiplatform doesn't "expand the userbase". It "divides the userbase".
GTA: San Andreas (PS2 only): 27M; GTAIV (PS3 and 360): 25M
Tekken 5 (PS2 only): 3.87M; Tekken 6 (PS3 and 360): 3.93M
Final Fantasy X (PS2 only): 8.05M; FFXIII (PS3 and 360): 7.31M
Devil May Cry (PS2 only): 2.99M; DMC4 (PS3 and 360): 2.86M
Virtua Fighter 4 (PS2 only): 1.81M; Virtua Fighter 5 (PS3 and 360): 1.33M

Can't help but see a pattern here, notice how most of the Non-exclusive were worse games than the previous ones

That all actually makes a lot of sense. I also thnk its natural to expect the non exclusives to be worse of cause the devs generally have more work to do actually getting the game to run and less time to spend on making the best possible game they can make. I have also always believed that going multiplatform just splits the user base.

So much agree with both this guys statement, expecially why they make a games for different platform of games if cost double, while they can save the cost, make the best one and still selling more on one console.
