I'm not saying the 360 isn't the JRPG console this gen. Because if people want JRPGs, they should get a 360. But technically it is kind of MS's fault the PS3 isn't getting any JRPGs because of their moneyhatting. If MS has the bigger wallet and moneyhats all the JRPGs away, where does Sony have to go to? Granted it's SCEJ's fault too for just letting it happen. |
Stop with the moneyhatting tinfoilhattery. All MS did to get SO4 was fund IU so tri-ace had all the tools built off MS budget. Which is exactly the same Sony is doing with Level5 and WKS.
Remember BOTH namco (tales), tri-ace (SO4) and SE (TLR) have stated that a ps3 release is either happening or a possibility. Time-exclusivity deals include HARSH penalties for acknowledging any other platform release - didn't you hear enough of T2 denying PS3 Bioshock or Namco's taking down ES and AA6 ps3 versions off their website? If MS had moneyhatted these three games the publishers would be flat out denying a ps3 release, which they aren't.
What you are seeing is just the combination of expensive development, higher royalties, blue-ray format cost, bigger fanbase and more spendy habits of the X360 users. It wasn't that long ago (wish I had bookmarked the quote) that a dev stated developing on the ps3 eats around 100k sales on the overcosts compared to 360. You can only get away with that when your console is 100 million in userbase ahead.
