This makes sense. So far, third party multiplatform games have tended to sell best on the Xbox 360. |
That shouldn't have any impact on exclusive vs multiplatform sales on the ps3 specifically. :| OT: That's because Sony's 1st party makes great games. The fact that MGS4 is exclusive helps as well. Until MGS4 hit, Uncharted was by far the best game on the ps3 (imo), with games like R&C following close behind. Barring GTA, Sony's 1st/2nd party titles are generally far better than multiplatform titles. This goes for Nintendo and MS as well, though MS tends to release far less 1st/2nd party titles yearly than the other two. |
But MS relies on third party exclusives like Gears of War and Too Human.

Gears of War is 2nd party. Is Too Human being published by MS? Then it would be 2nd party as well. 2nd party titles are those developed independently from the console manufacturer but published by the console manufacturer. All of Insomniac's titles, for example, are 2nd party, as they are an independent company whose titles are published by Sony. MS had been growing a rather formidable 2nd party line up to make up for their meager 1st party offerings, but then they let Bizarre and BioWare get bought out by Activision and EA. |
Gears of War is third party. Its owned by Epic. Too Human I THINK is owned by Silicon Knights so its third party. Being published by the console owner doesn't make a game second party. A second party studio is an independant studio that only makes games for one company's consoles.
