FishyJoe said: IMO, it makes no economic sense at all for KH to be system exclusive. It seems pretty clear that the most profit lies in multi-platform releases for third parties. What third party system exclusives are even close to the sales of Guitar Hero, CoD4, GTAIV, etc.? |
Metal Gear Solid 4
Halo 3
Resistence
Gears of War
Exclusives can make big bucks too.....

Only MGS4 is a third party game. MGS4 will be lucky to make 5 million sales. GHIII, CoD4 and GTAIV are all over 10+ million sales. A 5 million sale difference is $300 million in revenue. That kind of money talks, LOUDLY.
Are you telling me that SE/Disney are going to pass on hundreds of millions of dollars?

Oh yeah.....the GTA series on PS2 and Gran Turismo every generation say hi when it comes to exclusives selling big. Hell, even Halo sold 8+ million.

THANK YOU! Someone who gets it! Grand Tourismo sells a good 10million on an average game, they are made by sony.
Halo 3, sold 8 million, also exclusive. MGS4 sold more then MGS3 so it shows the game can sell of it's own accord and is viable as an exclusive. Devil May Cry 4 sold less then 3 did and it is multiplat. Just because a game is "accessable" to a wider audience, doesnt mean the audience is actually there. This is why Exclusivity is still usable in the gaming world.
People just dont want to admit that Exclusive's matter because Sony would always have the upper hand. MS simply is trying to kill Exclusivity with there moneyhatting.
OT: so yea exclusive to PS3 is still a pretty good idea.
