It doesn't matter: Swery chose the platform from where Deadly Premonition sold more. Don't you consider that a logical choice? Whether it paid off or not, that's different.
Just because "generally" niche titles sell better on PS doesn't mean all niche titles sell better on PS. That's a misconception.
| fatslob-:O said: I'm not exactly sure if you know this but the reason Deadly Premonition on the PS3 had sold less than half the xbox 360 version was because it released in other big territories like NA and EU in a very late fashion. It took 3 years for most users to be able to have access on the PS3 version of Deadly Premonition compared to the xbox 360. Another thing is that the game sold poor in Japan and most of it's sales came from overseas so it's perfectly understandable why the game didn't fare well on the PS3. |
But as I replied to the other user, it's only logical to put your new game on the platform you saw more sales, no?
Hopfully the money MS game them to make it exclusive is enough to keep them okay.

True but how exactly is it fair to compare the game sales of the two platforms that had entirely different game release treatments ?
| Kyuu said: LOL I didn't know the game even had a release date announced. |
yea, there was complete silence about this title for month and then suddenly at TGS came the announcement that it releases the next day
that's not the type of "build up" we are used to as gamers
| y2jarmyofficial said: its not ms fault. It was tba states till 3 days before launch.the devs should of gave a release date ahead of time |
uhm.. MS definitely knew it was ready to release at least a month in advance, because devs send in "release candidates" for testing and usually there is more than one before a title hits the (even the digital) store

I didnt think you meant that, but if it's really what they thought, no, it's not a logical choice, they knew why it sold more on 360 so they didnt think about it enough if this is the reason of their choice. I think it's mostly because they went to Ms first, Ms said yes, as simple as that.
Not but the fact niche titles tend to sell better on PS means a niche title has better chance to sell good on PS. Just like the fact 360 was the FPS console and FPS used to sell better on 360.

The game isn't set up for being a game with sequels it tells a single story and is done after that.

It's not fair, but that isn't the point.
