Casual games don't sell well on the ps3 and developes still make them, instead of sticking to wii and 360. Weird eh? I can't think of many examples that ps3 is left out, other than the Black Eyed Peas game. Why port MJ: the experience to ps3? Look at its sales. Same with Dance on Boradway. Now they want to port Grease too. If the sales are low AND the development/port is a pain in the ass, why do they keep doing it? |
Because its easy to develop badly for the PS3.
Dont care about the result then write for the Xbox 360 spend a week porting to PS3 using an automated multiplatform engine tool.
Hello downgraded textures, missing lighting effects and low frame rates with screen tearing every where.
Ultimately they do it because a week of extra DEV work for maybe 500,000 more sales to PS3 fans is money for old rope.
Never lose sight of the fact these companies are commercial operations.
