| Snoopy said: xbox is just like the pc but closed off. They can easily scale the games just like they do with pc games. Also, I would argue xbox live being better than competitiors is a huge plus. |
developing for the xbox and developing for the pc aren't the same at all.
it's two fixed platforms, so optimizations and fine tuning has to be made for each, where as for pc you can leave those optimizations and tuning to the end user by exposing advanced video options.
Since it's a console, they *have* to do extensive testing and optimization for both, to get the best out of each, that takes time, that takes money.
You can say that it doesn't till you're blue in the face, but it does.

And yet it isnt.
| Snoopy said: Also, exclusives are subjective. I am more of an online gamer and games like Halo, Gears and to a certain degree Forza are some of the best online games I can play. I don't think there is a single playstation exclusive online game that is known for online gaming or is that good honestly. |
Subjective or not, more exclusives and a wider range of games and genres attracts a wider audience, regardless of if those games are chart topping blockbusters or niche small following titles, the fact that they exist draws in buyers.
Or do you honestly think the xbox one is 25+ million units behind purely because of the pre-launch bad press?
