Thats because sony can't see the light and lower their prices...they are selling so few units comparitivley to the Wii and 360 developers are forced to go multiplatform..Would you make you game for only the weakest selling console out there? No it would kill profits  for your game...the only people willing to say they would are sony fanboys.

It is simple math.


I remember reading that Sony actually *lose* money with every PS3 they sell. I guess it's to do with the fact that the console has a high-quality Blu Ray player (I think, I haven't tried any Blu Ray players to compare). However, the real money lies in the games.

sony is losing good games..god of war is gonna be made for xbox i think, now ff


They're not "losing" them. All they're losing is the exclusivity. FF games are pretty much guaranteed sales of 2 Million+ in Japan, and FF13 is exclusive to the PS3 there. As for GoW, isn't it a first-party Sony game? For that reason, I can't see it going to the 360.

Exclusive games are an extra incentive to buy a particular console though... I don't think there are *that* many for the 360 though. I can't really see Halo and Gears of War swinging many people to the 360. Star Ocean 4 and Tales of Vesperia...maybe a few. Mass Effect...maybe. I'd say the price tag is the bigger incentive to be honest (I bought a 360 because of it), but I could be wrong (and probably am). I just can't see long-term Sony fans going for Gears of War, Halo and Mass Effect... Although, I guess people hovering between the two consoles might be swayed because of them (but again, they could be swayed by the price tag too).

I'd love to see a SCE developed and Sony Published game to be jacked by 360... you do realise how dumb that is right ?

thats only NA, japan ps3 sales are much much higher than 360, and since they know that 360 has more sales in NA, they decided to make it for 360 as well, and so ive "heard" the reason why it was delayd is because they have to downgrade the graphics a bit for the 360 (not sure and xbox fan boys dont get mad at me)

It's a delay because they are having issues porting it, thus all versions are modified.

Price tag and sheer volume of games over the ps3 were my incentives to buy it..I woulden't of bought the console for gears OR halo since i'm not a fps kind of guy..I enjoy preferablly turn based rpgs but..any rpg will work if its combat system isn't terrible.

any game the ps3 has the 360 has speaking majorily there are few quality exclusives left on the ps3 only (In my opinion) though they are seeing a boom in them currently I have to admit..but at the time of purchase that wasn't the case.)

and then there was halo gears eternal sonata mass effect lost oddysey (not sure about this one but) Enchanted arms if its an exclusive.

At the time 360 exclusives were piling up over top of the ps3 exclusives and a major hurting point is sony lost DMC franchise that was one of my favorites.

combined with lower price tag and a better multiplayer experience via LIVE ...> ps3 by a vast majority.
