Forums - Sony Discussion - Will FF XIII be another high budget COLOSSAL blunder due to PS3 exclusivity

jenny on 12 July 2008

MGS 4 will now earn its money back on the PS3 alone, They gave the huge batch away for free virtually either with a bundle or a $100 gift card and its still not even impressive sales. Will SE make the same colossal blunder with FF XIII by not making it multi platform?

Wow. Too much fail in this thread to even warrant a response to all of your fallacies.

So I'll sum up your failure with this:

FAIL FAIL FAIL FAIL FAIL FAIL

 

-Mod Edit:  You don't need a wall to make your point. Just because the OP is trolling doesn't mean you get to as well, particularly when you seem to think you can spam in the process.

*insert fat girl pictures*

Can't actually post them, since certain mod finds them too offensive and would ban people from posting them.



Soriku (Feb 10/08): In 5 years the PS3/360 will be dead.

KH3 bet: "If KH3 comes to Wii exclusive, I will take a 1 month of sig/avatar by otheres open a thread apologize and praise you guys' brilliance." http://vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?start=50&id=18379

Umm Konima has sold well over 3 million copies of MGS4, and your saying that is bad sales? So would you consider reasonable sales since 3 million in two weeks obviously isn't enough for you?

I agree with DMJ haha just not as extreme. But it is a fail.

 It would have sold 3 million on Day 1 had it been multi platform. It should be up to 6-7 million by now .

Your thinking is linear and of course flawed.  If the title had not been exclusive, it would have stole thunder and hype away from the PS3 version making sales down.  Not to mention its doubtful it would have been bundled.  Also being on another console costs more money to code and develop for.  Making a game multiplatform lessens the risk of failure but it can also diminish profits that you might have gotten off it simply being exclusive. There is no guarantee that a multiplatform MGS4 would have made Konami more profits.
