I never will understand why Sony or Microsoft never buy Ip's that go up for sale.


Microsoft and Sony are not going to take a chance on games unless they see them as a game that could possibly sell their hardware.  Metro 2033 is a a X360 console exclusive and didn't do extremely well so that would be the reason for not taking a chance on Last Light.  Darksiders  barely reaches 1 million on both consoles combined.  If it was exclusive it would likely reach 800k -1.2m  A nice game to have but nothing that is game changing.  Saints row is really the only game that has good potential of being a game changer but the money they would also have to pay a lot for it so you have to ask yourself how much is it really worth?

its hard to turn a multiplatform game into an exclusive success. Unless it was a huge game they are cutting out 1/2-2/3 of their fans.
