Exclusives are games only on one platform. Not first party. Wow that comment and idea...just utterly hilarious O.o


And pretty much most of the games you mentioned where available on multiple platforms so your thread is a epic fail.

Except not. Feel free to gtfo, thanks.

I guess you can't handle the truth.  Congrats on a successful fail thread anyway.

I guess you can't handle evidence. Care to provide some to back up your point? No, you'd rather make flippant accusations and be on your merry way. Merry along then.

i don't think the point is that staying exclusive increases sales. It is more that either way, the sales are not increasing due to being available on more consoles, it just ends up meaning making an over all less profit on sales you would have anyway.

Myth of going Multiplatform Dictates...

-Exclusive Game:3million

-Exclusive turn Multiplatform: 4.5million

-If remained Exclusive in this climate: 2million


Reality Dictates...

-Exclusive Game: 3million

-Exclusive turn Multiplatform:3-3.5million

-if remained Exclusive in this climate:3-3.2million

-Dev cost to port: loss of 0.3-0.5million

Your numbers are baseless.

What do you mean? I am obvious using a hypothetical in the above but the numbers are based on the trend of games that jumped ship from Exclusive to Multiplat this gen, several of which are pointed out in the OP.

Nice to see that Sony fans also have their own conspiracy theories. I thought Nintendo fans were alone on this.



I apologize in advance for my bad english.

You're using made-up numbers? What is the point of made up numbers?  Use real numbers if you want to make a point.  What you have there is meaningless.

Take a bunch of PS2 exclusives that went from exclusive to multiplat in the mainline series.  Then take a bunch that stayed exclusive. Compare real numbers. Show that the exclusives were better off. (BTW, they weren't)

Making stuff up is a waste of time.



Gran Turismo:

GT3: 14.33
GT4: 11.36
GT5: 8.83

Gran Turismo should have stayed a Sony exclusive!

Decent but you need more evidence. Here is another for kicks.
Star Ocean PS2 1.72
Star Ocean PS360 1.33



Game Platform Year Genre Publisher North America        
1 Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 PS3 2010 Fighting Namco Bandai Games         1.13
                     
                     
4 Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm PS3 2008 Fighting Namco Bandai Games         0.99
5 Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 X360 2010 Fighting Namco Bandai Games         0.72

Going multiplat clearly payed off for this series, the PS3 version of UNS2 outsold UNS1, Xbox360 just adds insult to the injury (is the proverb called like this in english?)



So...everyones going to hop back to sony next gen?



All of this, of course, is just my opinion.

Skyrim 100%'d. Dark Souls 100%'d. 
Dark Souls > Skyrim.
Halo 4 is the best damn FPS since Halo 3.
Proud pre-orderer of 2 PS4's and an Xbox One. 

Currently Playing: Dark Souls II, South Park
Playstation 4: MGS V GZ, Killzone: Shadow Fall, NBA 2k14.

Wait when was Tomb Raider Playstation exclusive I remember playing it on my PC.

And seriously comparing MGR to MGS. That seems all sorts of wrong.

The Crash and Tekken games just decreased quality wise too much.

You are forgetting that UNS was in fierce competition with the 360 exclusive Naruto entry. That one was seen as less polished as UNS and hence was scrapped in it's favor. I don't have the precise numbers, I will look it up once I post this. Yet I have a feeling if you add the two original games up they will turn out very similar to how the Multiplat UNS2 .
