You made my point for me thank you. Exactly the PS3 is going to get ports rather then the big exclusive titles. The militant Sony fans need to come to terms with this. Their is ample financial incentive for companies to not develop exclusive titles for the platform. Some on these forums are attacking Capcom for doing smart business, and behave as if Capcom owes them something.
I cannot believe that both you, and I can see the silver lining. Yes Sony lost a major exclusive title. However it is not the end of the world if your hope as a gamer is to get many titles, and still maintain support. The PS3 is still going to get support its just not going to be that dedicated support it had.
Frankly these militants need to be happy that they are getting something. Rather then nothing at all even if it is scraps. Sony needs to maintain developer support for their platform. Thankfully the market has the 360 in the mix. That makes porting more profitable. The developers can make a high end game for the 360, and then port it to the PS3 for additional profits. That helps to defer the expenses, and reduces the costs for games for the PS3. |
Well ,although I more or less agree with you ,I will have some clarifications .
First ,the PS3 receiving ports of most games assures the PS3 users most games in the markets .Here we agree I think .Having a console is about precisely that ,having most games on the market .The PS2 had most games ,although few times its version was the best one .And the sheer amount of games for it finally won the day .That may happen or not ,but PS3 owners dont need to worry about receiving games .
Second ,the PS3 has received a lot of ports but it will more and more receive simultaneous developments for games on the 360 and PC.Difficulty programming it and learning curves are still putting the PS3 releases some weeks after the 360 version but that amount of time diminishes as the months pass and next year it will have simultaneous releases with the 360 versions .So not exactly ports ,that we call to games already finished in one format and months later receiving a port on another with little care sometimes .
Third ,we will see if Capcom are making smart business when MH3 comes out on the Wii .If the software sales on the Wii keep as low in Japan as right now and the Famitsu president words about 67% Wii users being inactive users are true maybe Capcom will think again about abandoning the crowd that loved their franchise ,the Playstation users .If they sell a bucketload then I will agree with you ,they did the better for them .
Fourth ,as long as exclusives go by .Name me some 360 exclusives next year that dont come from MS by first or second party .Sony will manage just the same by its first and second parties .With a difference ,though .Sony has a lot more developing teams that MS ,with people as Zipper ,Evolution ,Insomniac ,Incognito ,Naughty Dog ,Studio Santa Monica ,Guerrilla ,Team Ico ,Game Republic ,London Studios ,Liverpool Studios ,Clap Hanz ,Sony Online ,Sucker Punch ,Ready at Dawn ,Eat Sleep and Play ,Factor 5 ....etc etc .And just as Microsoft it has bought and will continue buying some exclusives and alliances ,with NCS for example for MMO in the console ,and we can name at least some exclusive bought as the one Quantic Dreams is preparing them ,the one Rockstar is preparing them ,the one Epic is preparing for them ,White Knight Story and Dark Cloud 3 developed for them by Level 5 etc etc .We could call those second party games as they are financed by Sony ,but they are exclusives and by top developers all the same and will put its weight behind the PS3 .One last thing is that a lot of small japanese developers will develop games for the PS3 and not for the 360 .Some of those games may be obscure and not important at all ,but others can be sleeper hits that will be later grabbed by distributors and brought to NA and Europe .
