Threads/polls like this on this site always make me sad with their results.  Proves how selfish some gamers can be.

Just being honest, those gamers on this site seem to be PS3 fundamentalists.  You look at the Mass Effect 2 threads and you don't find 360 gamers coming on there and saying how horrible it is that they get to play such a great game.  You look at the FFXIII coming to 360 in Japan threads and people are ripping SE.  You look at GTAIV DLC eps coming to PS3 threads and 360 owners don't care.  

This thread isn't even about a GAME but about a DEVELOPER and look at the poll results.

Exclusives are for 1st party developers.  That all hit its stride last gen, when the PS2, Xbox and GC were all so close in power.  It just made sense for 3rd party devs to, not only maximize how much money they could make but also how many gamers would be able to play their games.  If you really love Heavy Rain because of the game that developer made and not the fact its an exclusive for the console you own, then this wouldn't matter.  Heck, I'm playing through ME2 right now again and the first thought that popped in my head is "man ... PS3 owners are in for such a treat; I sure hope they pick it up".

Seriously, this here has been the most disappointing thread/poll I've seen in this community in a long time.  And that's saying a lot.  I thought we were better than this ...

Yeah, but Mass Effect 2 won't get ruined for 360/PC because of being port to PS3...

I don't see Microsoft investing money on studios, and I don't see them bringing anything new in terms of software. Sony is different and they made Heavy Rain possible and a big success. Also, the PS3 audience is different than the 360s or any other platform. PS3 owners had a large part in making Heavy Rain a large sucess. Heavy Rain would've flopped HARD and miserably on any other console, mostly on the shooters-love nest: the xbox 360.

Why shouldn't the same apply to Quantic Dream's next game? (should it go multiplat)

End of the day, Sony lost far more meaningful exclusive titles, but that's besides my point. If you really want to play David Cage titles, at this point, you're going to need to pick up a PS3. Why sit around twiddling your thumbs hoping for a mulitplat deal?

And remember one key difference to Sony losing exclusive titles and Microsoft - Sony didn't chase after those mentioned titles, but Microsoft did chase after Sony's.

You know I respect your opinion, but I do have to say regarding your "Sony didn't chase after..." comment:  do you KNOW this are do you THINK this?

I just find the logic that EVERYTHING Microsoft does, is because they paid for it, and EVERYTHING Sony does, is because they are just the bestest company ever, to be a little, well....  flawed.

I can play Cage titles with my future PS3 yes, but I'm a Xbox fanboy so I want all games to be available on the X360.

Yes but MS chased those titles because they came into the console business much later than Sony. Had MS came in first and dominated it then Sony would have been the chaser.

That's mere speculation, of course. And maybe you shouldn't stick to just one console/company. This is why you're missing out on great experiences, which isn't the fault of the companies.

In principle I like consoles to have lots of exclusives though. More than they have today.

In this generation I felt that I could hold on all the way until now with Sony (until HR and Demon Souls) and even longer with Nintendo (Zelda Sky Sword).

Where the hell has he said xbox ? Other platforms doesn't necessarily mean the 360. Selective journalism to gather hits FTW !

They made an assumption but is it a bad one? I mean looking at the state of PC gaming that would hardly open them up to a massive new audience.

Looking at the kind of games they make I dunno if they'll want to go for the Wii market. That leaves PS3 and 360.

but the PC is the home of the adventure game, and adventure (excluding "action" adventures, read shooters/brawlers with adventuring) games do better on PC than any other platform so it is logical that the latest branch in the genre would come to the PC lol.

They used to do well on PC. But Heavy Rain sales show where a lot of potential is.

Do you think a future game similar to Heavy Rain would do better on PC than on xbox 360?

Yes.

Heavy Rain would have become a huge success on the Xbox 360.

X360 has the biggest software sales and attach ratio in this generation. The next Quantic Dreams game will sell millions on the X360. Multiplatform is the logical way to go, just like Bungie and those guys who made Heavenly Swrds and now Enslaved.
