You should see some of the inversion. There was actual whining about the Conduit being Wii exclusive. But after it came out, the whiners "forgot" they did that. Or Monster Hunter 3 (and them getting loads of other major Capcom games isn't acknowledged). |
Just a few things about this reply:
Firstly, The Conduit was/is not part of a series;
Secondly, I certainly don't seem to recall many people whining about not getting The Conduit at all (granted, I'm sure there were at least a few). I do, however, recall many HD console owners becoming annoyingly incessant about its graphics and saying that they already had their hunger for shooters sated. No doubt just as annoying, but, nonetheless, very different. Reagardless, you're right, both are guilty of it, as NJ5 had pointed out. I'm just not convinced of this example;
Thidly, Monster Hunter 3 had most of its whining based on the fact that it had already been announced for another console and had previously had only been released on Sony consoles. That's much different from what is going on with Tekken 6. Many PS3 owners may have been excited about the prospect of playing MH3. They had reason to, afterall, I reiterate, it had only ever been released on a Sony platform and had already been announced.
To me, it just seems rather silly to complain about not getting a game from a series on a console that it has never even had a history with. Sure, there was reason to complain about not getting FFVII as an early N64 owner just as there was reason with frustration about not getting MH3 as an early PS3 owner. However furstrating it may be for PS3 owners to not get Mass Effect 2 after Bioware became property of EA, it just seems silly to complain about it. I mean you can say this about any 2nd/3rd party exclusive - Ratchet and Clank, Mother, etc.
