Possibly.

Although I wouldn't keep my fingers crossed.

 

Surprised the usual suspects haven't been in here yet with the "It's overtracked!" stuff. Despite having no evidence of it.

Sega should have released it on 360 and PC in addition to PS3. At this point it doesn't make any sense for a 3rd party publisher to do PS3 exclusives.

For Japanese publishers who's games aren't that commercial it sure does

I for example don't see any point in Resonance of Fate for the 360 after the lackluster sales, and it probably would have sold more on the PS3 if had been an exclusive, because the fanbase would have hyped a lot more, like with Yakuza 3.

 

Resonance of Fate did poorly becuase it was mediocre. With multiplatform game engines so common and how cheaply and quickly ports can be done. There is no reason for a publisher to NOT port to everything the game can run on becuase the investment is small and it yield higher profit.

As for the notion that PS3 fans hype exclusives. That is rediculas. How can you suggest Yakusa would not have sold as much if it had been ported to PC and Xbox 360? YOu don't know the effect it would have had. I'm pretty sure it would have sold just as well on PS3 as it has and it would have sold additionaly on PC and Xbox 360. It would have cost little to port and increased sales. Only the extremely bias care about exclusives. Everyone else buys the games on the shelf without looking to see if it's a port or not.

3rd party exclusives are a thing of the past. For some reason Japanese developers and publishers think they can get away without supporting western markets. But some like Capcom and Square have realised that for the small cost of a port they can tap the rich Xbox 360 market in the west. FF13 may have sold more on PS2, but it only set records because it was on Xbox 360.

I hope it does become one. It deserves every sale out there. I think sales could've been higher had it included trophies.
