"The chief difference between American and Japanese game publishers: In the United States, publishers are very successful - they're run by professional management. They focus on money, not making great games. On our side, we always operate under the assumption that there's a high possibility of losing money, but that's just our **** American publishers make games so everyone can play. The Japanese - especially Capcom - favor the hardcore gamer."

I find that whole thing funny, so DMC4 was not put on the 360, or pc for money ...... thats a big pile of bull.

It has been but who cares. At least it's not an April fools joke!

 

All publisher's primary focus will be money and not great games. It is up to us the consumers to show them that it is great games that will make them the most money.

Every company makes money. The reason you make a company is to make money. Not to appease angry PS3 fans or make 360 fans happy. For money.

They will port DR or LP when they think PS3 is successful enough. It's going to take a lot of resources to PORT the game onto a new machine. DMC4 has probably only been developed 50% so working on the 360 version now isn't going to be too much in terms of time constraints.

It's a cycle, you can't do either without doing the other, you can't make a good game without money and you can't get money without a good game. There is a balance to be reached where the company can just make enough profits and stilll make great games, however some companies just want more and more, those usually end up worse.
