Forums - Gaming Discussion - *Why is Silent Hill Downpour PS3/360 exclusive?*

Mr Puggsly on 24 January 2011

Homecoming (360/PS3 combined) sold more units at full price than Shattered (Wii only). We don't know the budget of either so we don't know which was more proftitable.

Clearly Konami thinks there is more potential on the HD consoles. If Downpour is a great game it could be a potentially big seller on the HD consoles. While sales will likely be modest on the Wii regardless how good it is.

Why not combine the Wii and PS2 sales of Shattered Memories? ;/

Well the PS2 version was launched for only $30.

Anyhow, the OP is asking why are they bringing it to the HD consoles but not Wii.

Neither Homecoming or Shattered Memories had particularly big sales. But Konami clearly sees more potential to have a hit on the HD consoles.

Well ok, I can agree with you on that.

Silent Hill was never a franchise that sold a lot but Silent Hill Shattered Memories has now sold 390K copies and according to VGC is tied for the best selling single system Silent Hill in history. It is tied with Silent Hill Homecoming for the 360 but S.M is likely to reach 400K and it probably costs Konami less money to make as its non HD. 

I know why most publishers don't like to release many "Core" games on the Wii because they tend not to sell well but Shattered Memories is/will become there best selling S.H game yet...

If a Wii version was made I bet it would sell better than the PS3 and 360 version.


Go buy you a PS3.

My granpa and my granma (combined) ate more peanuts than me alone (me only).

Therefore they combined eat more peanuts than me.

 

I want the Nobel prize for combination, now.

 

I'm sick of people who combine sales from 2 platforms against 1 platform alone.
