its not exclusive anymore, if it was it would of been hyped a lot more.

I disagree. As I said, the announcement had the opposite effect on Final Fantasy, because it's a big series, and a massively hyped game. A multiplat announcement won't kill that hype. And it will get more hype from PS2 --> 360 owners- the game got 36 more points from people getting it on 360 (it got 160 points on PS3, but still). The majority of dual HD owners would get the game on PS3. A couple of fanboys were butthurt, but these people were far outnumbered by aforementioned 360 owners. Tekken 6 would certainly be more hyped if it was PS3 exclusive, because that's what us PS3 fans do, we hype exclusives. I admit it. Big games, like Modern Warfare 2 and FF13, get hyped no matter what, but smaller games, such as those in the fighting genre, need exclusivity.

Especially since the game was delayed to make a 360 version. The nerve of them! If the PS3 version is ready, RELEASE IT! Make it a timed exclusive! And because they've made that choice and other fighting games have arrived before Tekken 6, which were meant to launch after it, I would expect fewer sales on PS3 than if they had kept the original date. This will probably be offset by the 360 sales.

Oh you still use it, just not in cases this extreme.

Need I remind you of the Naughty Dog thread where you proceeded to say Resistance 2 did not qualify them to be developer gods?

1. If you count the trolls, the numbers on the 360 side go way up.

2. This is a really stupid argument. It's not exclusive, so it gets less hype on the internet. But what about GTA4, Modern Warfare? Hell, GTA4 was supposed to be PS3 exclusive, went to the 360, and both userbases still hyped it to hell. The reason Tekken 6 isn't that hyped is because Namco fucked up and forgot to release the game. We've known about it since before E3 2006, and it still isn't released. This would be fine for a game like Final Fantasy or Gran Turismo, but it's murder for a smaller series like Tekken.

3. Bunch of bullshit. Call of Duty, Assassin's Creed, Madden, UFC, Fight Night, I could go on.

4. So wait, we should make exceptions because one game is bigger? Don't be a hypocrite. If you're going to lay down a rule, you don't just pull other conditions out of your butt because a game is more hyped. The biggest gaming news from a third party in the last 10 years, if anything, was GTA4 going multiplatform. Far more significant series, anyways. I wouldn't be surprised if GTA4 on the 360 outsold FF13 on both platforms combined.

5. There you go, the same old Zenfoldor, always putting some kind of blame on the PS3 fanboys. Tell you what. The best selling game on the 360 is exclusive (Halo 3), and a number of the best selling games on the Wii are exclusive. On the PS3, the best selling game is not only a game that was multiplatform from the day it was released, but also a game that was "taken" or "stolen" by Microsoft.

6. It's possible it would be more hyped, but then there would be less hype from the 360 side. Overall, not too much. There have been a bunch of games this generation that didn't have that much hype until shortly before release, and then it exploded a week or so before (Assassin's Creed comes to mind).

"I used to use his technique. Found out it makes people hate me, and it's dishonest."

lol, you "used" ? you mean 1 week ago ?

Because this isn't Tekken Zaibatsu, this is VGChartz

/Kameeeehaaaaaa!!!!ThegamewouldstillbewaymorehypedifitwasstillPS3exclusiveobviously-MAAAYYYYHAAA!

Montana agreed with me earlier in the thread, so I let it slide when he said Tekken was one of the more casual fighting franchises. That's completely wrong. No conditions or reasons. It's just wrong, imho. I couldn't disagree more.

It's not really the "non-hype" I blame the PS3 fanboys for. Who can blame them for that, really? Playing up this game is, afterall, playing up a victory for Microsoft. Tekken has been a Sony related IP for a decade. I'm just stating an opinion about WHY the game isn't as hyped. I think it's silly to say that the 360 fans hyping the game make up for the fact that it's no longer PS3 exclusive.

We all know the treatment PS3 exclusive games get, and because that's so obvious, is the reason why my opinion is substanative. Quoting a bunch of examples of the largest multiplats this generation which came out when the debate was still raging over Wii vs HD consoles, and not 360 vs PS3 is cherrypicking. Exclusives on average are more hyped than Multiplats ON THIS FORUM because of the console war. It gets people excited to talk about the games that the people they hate might not get to play. Sure there are exceptions, like MW2....but imagine the hype for MW2, or the fallout....if the game was exclusive to the PS3, ON THIS FORUM(and explain why Uncharted 2, GT, and Forza are all equally or more hyped to this super god-like multiplat on this forum). This game isn't Final Fantasy or Grand Theft Auto. It's never gonna have that hype level. However, were it an exclusive on EITHER console, it would be hyped more than it currently is imo, and blaming the hype death on the fighting genre itself, or the game not being good, or late, is a cop-out. Make it exclusive again, and watch the hype meter rise.

Tekken is one of the more casual fighting franchises. I'm sure we could get into a huge fanboy debate over fighting mechanics and other BS no one cares about, but at the end of the day, it appeals the most to casual fighting fans (hence why it sells the most out of the big 4/5, and hence  why I called it the most casual).

This non-hype stuff is bullshit. How much do we know about Tekken 6 anyways? The characters, maybe? How much would you have heard about Tekken 6 if you weren't scrounging for every last bit of info? Like I've said before, we've known about Tekken 6 since before E3 2006. And yet still, Namco hasn't shown us anything interesting. We've had two absolutely amazing games in the Virtua Fighter and Street Fighter series, an above average game in the Soul Calibur series, BlazBlue, a bunch of old arcade titles, King of Fighters, Dead or Alive, and a bunch of other games. Why should anyone care about Tekken anymore? We probably knew about Tekken 6 before any of these other titles, and yet all these titles have been released before Tekken 6. Were Sony fanboys scared to play up GTA4, since they knew it would be playing up a victory for Microsoft? What about Virtua Fighter 5, for that matter? It doesn't matter what the game is, most times people don't care. There have been big games like GTA4, Assassin's Creed, Resident Evil 5, and Devil May Cry 4 that have sold very well on the PS3 despite losing exclusivity. I will agree with you on something. If the game is somehow less hyped, 360 fans don't make up for it. They just nab the game, and then couldn't give less of a shit about it. It's disgusting, frankly.

Exclusive games in general get hyped. The fact that you're pinning this solely on the PS3 shows your immense bias. You wouldn't have to look far to see the internet hype for Halo 3, Gears, Mass Effect, or any big 360 game. The debate about HD vs. Wii was finished the second the Wii stomped on the 360 and took the lead. It sent a clear signal: The Wii rules this generation, not the HD consoles. I quoted these examples because they're examples that disprove your point, although I guess calling it cherry picking would help you save face. Anywho, let's use an example similar to Tekken. Let's look at Soul Calibur 4. How well would this have sold if it was PS3 exclusive? I'm assuming, of course, that hype translates to sales. The previous games in the series didn't sell that much more than the iteration on each of the seperate HD platforms, so even if the PS3 version did sell more, it wouldn't be by much. Or how about this? If exclusives are more hyped, answer my original statement. How are PS3 owners so rejecting of multiplatform games, if their highest selling game is a former exclusive that was oh-so-dreadfully stolen by the 360? If anyone's protectionist, the Sony fanboys would be the least of the bunch. Especially since the multiplatforms of games that were "stolen" have higher attach rates, and occasionally higher sales, on the PS3.

That's neither here nor there. There is a huge difference, after all, between Sony fanboys and PS3 owners, and internet hype has little bearing on actual sales.
