Forums - Gaming - Developers better think twice about making there game 360 exclusive !

Million said:
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.

The 1st party pays for a huge load of advertising for your game and talks it up at every opportunity because marketing/testing/release costs add up to between 50% and 100% of a games development budget.

 

 



Tease.

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 Name a turn based RPG thats sold better this gen?
(ninja gaiden 2)  been out 3 months, sold 0.69 million 800k/1mil is closer and its outsold the previous version
(blue dragon) been out 10 months, sold 0.5 million Isn't too bad considering the game engine looks last gen
(eternal sonata) been out 15 months , sold 0.27 million Niche, what can I say?
(tales of vespira), 1 month , sold 0.13 million Hasn't even got U.S/EU numbers yet. Nice way to jump the gun
(too human) , 2 weeks , sold 0.14 million Haze sold like crap/Lair sold like crap - your point?
(naruto : rise of a ninja) 11 months, sold 0.39 Naruto... LOL
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 Yeah PS3 is getting that, but when you can pick up the PC/Xbox 360 version for less than $20 it kinda kills the excitement.
Gears ....oh Gears 3 is going  multi You're talking a 2010 release at the earliest here....
ok how about that rpg adventure oblivion? 1 year difference, multimillion seller on the Xbox 360, didn't crack a mil on the PS3 - so I think they got a good deal.
maybe its already happening ?!

Selective? Just a tad!!

Heres a test for you, put the top 4 PS3 exclusives so far againt the top 4 360 exclusives so far. Should be a good comparison.. btw I havent checked.. I'll leave it to you. And yes, 360 exclusive DOES mean console exclusive - so you can include gears.

 

Xbox 360

Halo 3- 8.17 million  Gears of War- 5.22 million  Forza Motorsport- 3.99 million

PS3

Motorstorm- 3.44 million  Metal Gear Solid 4- 3.12  Resistance Fall of Man- 3.06 million

 

And yes, i only picked 3 because i sense the comparison speaks for itself   

 



I hope my 360 doesn't RRoD

all i stated is that 360 games are going multiplat
and in conclusion i'll say maybe this Gen is all about the multiplatform-ing
360 has gotten alot of ps3 exclusives!! except for the ones that are incapable of running on the 360
so y r the fanboys boiling up?

you really cant compare Gears to Metal Gear in terms of sales, give Metal Gear Solid 4 a holiday season and then compare the two in sales

 



You do realize some of those games sold poorly because they just weren't that good and others don't have bad sales at all.

  • Lost Odyssey - nothing wrong with 800k
  • Ninja Gaiden 2 - Nothing wrong with 700k in 3 months
  • Blue Dragon - not that good of a game
  • Eternal Sonata - Excellent art, terrible game
  • Tales of Vesperia - Not released in America yet
  • Too Human - bad game
  • Naruto: Rise of the Ninja - Naruto rehash, I bet this one actually made money

 



To be completely fair, most of those are Japanese-themed games, which are usually hit or miss outside of Japan.

I think we're afraid we'll see a tentacle coming out of a woman's hoohoo or something.
