Sure, I'll predict the sales right now.

PS3: 4.78
360: 1.2

Lifetime. Just you watch.


You wanna bet about that?

Not only franchises but devs themselves who went multiplat damaged themselves. Ninja Theory went from Heavenly Sword to DmC


Ninja Theory is just not that good of a developer they will continue being vagabonds until they will eventually go bankcrupt which is soon I hope.  Also they started out with Microsoft since the first game they developed was Kung Fu Chaos for they original X-Box they just had a different name they where know as Just Add Monsters.

Multiplatform for the win.  Also RE 5 sold 8.17 million as long as game is better or almost as good then its predecessor it will sell more by going multiplatform.  But if the quality declines a lot sales will suffer that is why RE 6 only sold 3.93 million copies so far.

>_> ITT at least two people who know 0% about resident evil.

Well at least they know it's the biggest selling Resident Evil!

Sure, although it will likely be skewed more toward ps3. xbox owners hate metal gear. I'll say 5.19 - .91

Metal Gear SOlid
http://www.vgchartz.com/gamedb/?name=metal+gear&publisher=&platform=&genre=&minSales=0&results=200
MGS4 did 5.75 on ps3
Rising did 1.06 on ps360


 

Anyone have any more data to share?


Metal gear solid is not Rising. Everyone knew it was a spin-off and it sold less. Wait till the next MGS comes out and see how well that sells.

Try to predict next gen console sales as well. WiiU (maybe), Ps4, next xbox (maybe)

Do not forget that ps2 had a userbase about equal to ps360. If the games were exclusive to ps3 the sales would have been different. But then the ps3 would have sold more too.

I see what you are saying though, but there are also similar things on other platforms too, if you take the sales number of the consoles into consideration.

What they don't know is that RE had been multiplat for many years :/

So yeah, kinda #epicfail there

Like someone else said though, it's a self-fulfilling prophecy. If you go Multiplat, then people lose reason to buy a specific console. When that happens, then the consoles even out, meaning the skew becomes more even, making more exclusives go multiplat. Had these titles stayed exclusive, they would likely have made very similar sales, with increased boost from exclusivity hype, sold more consoles, and cost less to make (due to porting)...and in some cases have better quality assets from not having to make smaller.

So your whole thread is epic fail then since most of the games you mentioned where never exclusives either nice job.
