PS3 exclusives sell 45% better than multiplat games !?

http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/06/12/ps3-exclusives-sell-45-better-than-multiplatform-releases/

According to EEDAR analyst Jesse Divnich, PS3 owners prefer exclusives on their systems. In fact, a title that is exclusive to PS3 will sell 45% better on the system than a multiplatform title. Exclusives on both the Wii and Xbox 360, according to the analyst, only have a "small increase" over multiplatform titles

Come on developers start making those exclusives ;)

What do you guys think ?

lol what is with those people who have a 360 and ps3 ?

if you cant buy a game on your 360 you buy it for the ps3 ! thats 1 reason why ps3 exclusives sells better !!

the question is does ps3 exclusives sells better than mulltiplat games combined ? NO !!!!!

if you cant buy a game on your 360 you buy it for the ps3 ! thats 1 reason why ps3 exclusives sells better !!

jup thats right. i just gave an answer why !

Really interesting to hear that.

I doubt it's going to persuade developers to make a currently multiplat title exclusive to the PS3, but it might stop a current exclusive going multiplat.

does it really matter if they sell 45% better if they only sell by a handfull? its the same as a 300% increase in 360 sell in japan when blue dragon or LO was released. Going from 3000 to 12.000 isnt really that impressive.

However, I dont really care because i only buy exklusives for my ps3 and multiplats for my 360.

So Heavenly Sword, Ratchet and Clank and Uncharted outsold Call of Duty 4, Assassin's Creed, Devil May Cry, GTA4, etc on the PS3? Is he for real? Where is he getting his data from?

I wonder how did they calculate this, probably made some lame comparsion by comparing the sales of similarly rated multiplats and exclusives.

Well i got 2 gaming PCs (one connected to the TV) and a PS3 and i tell you any game that comes on both i'll pick up on my PC. Why, the game is cheaper and looks better on my PCs. Plus in 5 years if i ever wanted to i can play these games. After sony shafted us on the backwards compatibility i have no reason to belive that games on the PS3 would be playable on the next playstation.

And ofcourse the benefit of a PC is i can choose between mouse and keyboard, controller, wheel, joystick for controlling the game.

So basically all that is saying is that Multiplats sell better on other systems which makes sense. The PS3 multiplats have been pretty much average, with a few exceptions.

This is just another way of pointing that out. I rarely buy multiplats on the PS3 and usually when I have, I've also bought the 360 version too. See Burnout: Paradise and GTA 4.

It might sell 45% better on the PS3, but over all it would sell more if it was multiplatform. (Adding up that game sold on each system)

I suppose some consumers when they buy a PS3, rather than the more inexpensive 360, feel their purchase is more justified if they buy more exclusive games.Danm_999

Another thing people like to just forget about multi plats like they arn't there. I played COD4 no problems looked great Assassins Creed, Fallout 3 dispite the bs misleading review I've had no issues an since found out all the version had issues, personally I've had none. Then there is LBP which even for me who doesn't typically like platformers, I have to say its quite the keeper. MGS4 no need to go there for the shooter fans Resistance an a little something called Deadspace which was great btw. Also for those of stratagic mind Valkyria Chronicles and Disgaea 3. Not to mention more exclusives I could have gone into an more multiplats I could have as well. Oh an lets not for get the up an coming titles like Heavy Rain, those that played the game indigo prophecy know what I'm talking about. Either way it comes down to game prefrence for me the obvious choice is PS3 an pc.

360 199.00

wireless adapter 80-90

Xbox Live Gold 50-40 something if you count the new price

An don't bs yourself the hard drive 99.00

PS3 400.00

Now based off what I need an want I would be stupid to get a 360 understand some people's logical choice. Keep in mind once again this is based off of what I would need, it doesn't mean you would to I'm just saying.

Oh an one more thing I saw someone mentioned above multiplatforms sell better on the 360. It seems you haven't heard the latest as it seems quite a few fiscal year figures are showing better sales on the PS3.

Quite easy to achieve when you lack exculsives.Devil-Itachi

that doesnt make any sense

so because the ps3 has less exclusives....they somehow sell more?

Thats because PS3 owners chose to play the better version of those multiplatform titles on their 360s, so they end up using their PS3s to play the rare exclusive that did not flop (or to watch the occasional Blu Ray movie).

But PS3 owners don't buy games, right Lemmings? They only buy Blu-Rays, right Lemmings? The PS3 has a piss-poor attatch rate, right Lemmings?Floppy_Jim

No offense but game sales and attach rates were very poor on the PS3 for quite some time. :| I dont see why every news story needs to be twisted into an attack on other console owners.

A game flopping on GameSpot's SW forum does not make it a poor game.

SW is not real life.

But you have games like Fallout 3 and other multiplatform titles that combined sell more then that. So even then with a 45% better increase you're still more likely to be able to make more money on a multiplatform game.

This could also mean that most of these multiplat games are selling that much better on the 360 compared to the PS3.

I think the main reason for this is Sony's attempts to support their machine with first party games. Cows wont like to hear this, but i imagine the likes of Resistance, Uncharted and Motorstorm sold very well because for an uncomfortably long period of time, they were the only games worth buying. Disagree if you like, but if we're being objective and level-headed here i think that's a reasonable comment.

It's only more recently that Sony have managed to drum up some decent third party support. Until this year, they've had to make sure they have a strong library by making games themselves.

ok.. so that's why S/E is releasing all of those JRPG's on the 360 first.. hmmmmm.OhSnapitz

lol, I can't believe MS wasted so much time and resources to secure all of those JRPG's, and they ended up being low quality garbage

Even more reason for 3rd party Dev's to jump off the PS3 ship.Truth_Hurts_U

See what i did there?

Anyway, i'm not buying this study. Doesn't make much sense to me. Games like Uncharted or any other PS3 exclusive can't sell more than say... GTAIV.

Well, i bet all the 2 console owners buy exclusive games on PS3 because 90% of the multiplats are inferior on the PS3. Not to mention if the game has any online support then off course LIVE makes the choice so much easier. And cows will be cows, they will buy exclusives no matter what.

That's true. I'll never forget that month where Haze outsold everything else on the PS3.

But PS3 owners don't buy games, right Lemmings? They only buy Blu-Rays, right Lemmings? The PS3 has a piss-poor attatch rate, right Lemmings?Floppy_Jim

that being said:

MGS4: 3 million in sales

Halo 3: 8.1 million in sales

SSBB: 7.47 millions in sales

Just because a game isnt AAA on Gamespot doesnt mean its garbage. Lost Odyssey is the best JRPG this generation so far, if you ask me at least. Plus Eternal Sonata and Tales of Vesperia were both great.

Must be all those PS360 owners. I buy most PS3 exclusives, but get my multiplats on the 360.-DrRobotnik-

same here. i still like the 360 achievements better than trophies, and all of my friends are on XBL.

That's because they made the game for our system when most gaming companies choose to port 360 titles to the PS3 that are low in quality. Therefore, if they invest in the PS3 PS3 gamers will buy their games, period.

There might be some truth to that but most PS3 only owners, such as myself, are sick and tired of playing poor 360 ports.

it actually does, there was a report on Kotaku today that proved this wrong in a way - PS3 attach rate is ridiculously low compared to the Wii / 360.

here is a little reading material for some of you who apparently don't read post longer then half a sentence. The lower install base excuse is just a sorry excuse these days get over it.

Same as I multiplats really turn me off, I didnt bought a Ps3 to play games available on other platforms and this trend of broken multiplats and bad ports doesn't help
