About console exclusivity
I’m disappointed to see developers publicizing that their upcoming AAA titles are exclusive to one particular console over another as though it were a perk for gamers.
Would PS3 owners really care if God of War III were available on the 360? Would the Xbox 360 crowd care if Gears of War 2 could also be played on PS3? Certainly, it would be odd to see a Sony title, such as GoW, available to Xbox players but, frankly, Sony would make more money by selling their game to other console owners.
I suppose it’s obvious enough that this is simply a matter of publishers baiting hooks with AAA titles to lure gamers over to one console over another but I’m not convinced it’s smart marketing at all.
Grand Theft Auto used to be Playstation console exclusive but have now opened it up to include Xbox 360. Bad decision?
