Forums - Sony Discussion - Sony paying for exclusives

I think the big problem is that the price of going exclusive has to have gone up. Last generation being exclusive to the PS2 was nothing to many developers since the other consoles held much smaller percentages of the market. Now it will depend on the game. If it is a JRPG, Sony wouldn't have to pay much to make it exclusive unless the game is also Wii friendly. If it is an action game or FPS, expect that it would be cost prohibitive to get them to go exclusive since those games would have a large amount of their sales on the 360.

I give this thread a 9.3.

 Just go play MGS2.  That will be all deep thinking you need.

nope. exclusives kinda suck.

Plus, they would have to be paying a lot to keep it only on the PS3 given that the cost for producing a big HD game is high and they would be cutting off large market of PC/360.

Whereas with 360 when they buy exclusives they also allow PC.

I think every big game should be produced to the best of its ability on every machine.

 if they pay for the exclusive it means they pay for development costs. PC doesnt count for the console market so it doesnt matter if say Resistance was released on PC. It would be Insomniac's choice to release it. The release wouldn't effect the console market.

I like exclusives, because most of the time they are better developed and look nicer etc, because they were only designed for the PS3



it does'nt matter,if its a good exclusivities so whats wrong with that



Sony need to stop trying to buy EVERY SINGLE EXCLUSIVE

Lair, Haze, Killzone...

They should focus on the proven winners, the MGS, FF and GTs of the world



I hope my 360 doesn't RRoD
