gimmebanana on 03 September 2008

unless restricted by the publisher ,games like these had/have a better chance going multiplat

these r just a very few i picked

(lost odyssey) been out for 9 months ,sold 0.8 million
(ninja gaiden 2)  been out 3 months, sold 0.69 million
(blue dragon) been out 10 months, sold 0.5 million
(eternal sonata) been out 15 months , sold 0.27 million
(tales of vespira), 1 month , sold 0.13 million
(too human) , 2 weeks , sold 0.14 million
(naruto : rise of a ninja) 11 months, sold 0.39
im sure this same mistake wont be made again , and we will see ok games like these go multi , but dont hold ur breath on the juggernaut exclusives like
Halo
Bioshock ...wait ps3 got that
Gears ....oh Gears 3 is going  multi
ok how about that rpg adventure oblivion?
maybe its already happening ?!

Gears 3 going multi? You're delusional, man. Stop kidding yourself and being so biased. These numbers are flawed for a number of reasons. First of all, you're not taking into account the regional difference. For example, ToV so far only has japanese numbers, which is MS's weakest market by far. So stop trying to find good reasons to hate on the 360 and try being reasonable instead.

Exclusive games aren't really viable unless .

A.There's a moneyhatt involved.
B.Other consoles aren't suitable/too difficult for development (which was the case with the PS3 before).
C.the game is guaranteed to sell well ( Gears , MGS4 etc).

Exclusive games isn't really the smart option next gen , without a moneyhat a developer won't be better of than they would taking tthe multiplatform route. It's true for any console not just the 360.

And they better think thrice about making their games PS3 exclusive.

1st party and 2nd party studios are usually the only ones making exclusives games this gen, for the HD Consoles.

I'm not disputing that they are facts. I am however stating that they are poorly chosen out of a swarm of facts. You're making it look bad by being selective. Also, you state that they would all have fared a lot better if they were multiplatform, yet you don't have proof for it. Most games you listed are niche in general. JRPGs that aren't called FF or DQ(in japan) are niche. Naruto-games are niche since they mostly just appeal to people who both watch/read Naruto AND play games.
