Forums - Sales - The 3rd Party Balance Sheet of Terror

Wow, the X3760 is slaughtering the competition on exclusive third party support. Although the majority 50 of those 55 games will sell only a cuple of a hundred thousand copies tops.

I resent your accusation that this game doesn't exist, as I've been anticipating it since it was announced!

OWLBOY!



Are there any reasons for Cross Edge and Disgaea 3 to be not on list ?

Altrough in mine opinion the 7 rules are chosen to show favorable outcome for X360.

god he isn't even counting PSN titles.



@Zlejedi - X Edge was Japan only until last week. It should be added to the list now.

@PDF - Read the rules in the OP. Only games from October 2008. Both MGS and Haze are much older.

Regarding Japan only titles - it had been discussed several times in the thread. You can find the detailed reasoning up there. The short answer is that Japan is less than 5% of the console HW market these days so any Japan-only title does not have material effect on global trends.

The rules favor no-one. If I wanted to favor the 360 I would have allowed XBLA and XNA and then the 360 list would have been 5 times larger. So some rules help the PS3 and some happen to help the 360. The rules were meant to help us understand the level of 3rd party support globaly without any specific bias.

@PDF - I mostly use as my source VGReleases.com and look only at titles that are specified there as 2009 release. TBAs are not counted in. I found VGReleases.com to be the most complete and highest quality database.

If you have solid info about the pricing of a specific product being less than $40 then let me know and I will remove it.

My apologies if it's already been said, but the OP says that KZ2 is 2nd party when in fact surely it is 1st party, seeing as GG were acquired by Sony in 2005?

@ Person above me: Darksiders is multiplatform, not 360 exclusive. Also, Destroy All Humans has at least got a European, Japanese and Australian PS3 release, no? And TLR is coming to PS3 in all regions in Spring 09, so thats multiplat as well.

@wholikeswood:

As the OP rules: Time exclusives are counted as exclusives (see reasons in the OP).

Darksiders shows as timed exclusive for the 360 in the USA. Do you have a link to show a sim release?

Will check what is going one with Darksiders. Do you have a link?

 

My bad about the timed thing. Must have missed that when I scanned through.

As for Darksiders, hasn't it always been a PS3 title as well as a 360 one? I mean, I have a PS3 mag from this summer that had a whole feature dedicated to it where they saw gameplay, and Wiki, VGReleases, etc, all have it down for PS3 as well as 360.
