SFIV and RE5 both selling more on PS3 mean it will be stupid decision for Capcom to make LP2 exclusive. Anyway i don't think many people will care.

Exclusivity of Lost planet 2 is likely to be timed exclusive if MS have moneyhatted the game. Moneyhat is usually more money to developer than missing out on some extra game sales. No momneyhat the game will be multi-platform and released at the same time - extra game sales maybe sell better on PS3 Capcom games sell better on PS3 and break the XBox 360 dominance in regards to most other games sales.

1. SFIV and RE5 have so far have sold a few thousand extra units is not much more. I woul say it is a tie between X360 and PS3 in regards to sales of those two games. 2. The sales of RE5 can well and truly favour X360 - only two days of RE5 sales have be recorded for Europe and NA.

Recently X360 has better had attach rates regarding new game sales to new console sales.

@Bolded #1

SFIV 360 - 0.67M

SFIV PS3 - 0.74M

RE5 360 - 0.75M

RE5 PS3 - 0.94M

Only a "few thousand" more? What is with yesterday and today? Japan just doesn't count anymore?

@Bolded #2

Yeah, especially when you cherry pick your comparison.

didn't DMC4 ps3 outsold the 360 version?

Simultaneous releases of a fighting game and a mostly Playstation brand game. Well done.

Surely it will come to PS3, whether or not it's a simultaneous release. If they want to make this their next big franchise - they're making a movie of it, after all - then they might as well put it on as many platforms as possible.

Yes it did.

PS3 DMC4 - 1.32M

360 DMC4 - 1.17M

It even outsold the 360 in Europe, even though the 360 launched at a lower pricetag.

Nice come back. -.-

The reason those BS excuses do not work is because we constantly hear Microsoft (including yesterdays PR statement) saying that PS2 users have migrated to the 360.

In others words... lame excuse.

So brand name(RE) and a completely different genre(a fighting game) will show the same trends as Lost Planet?
