Microsoft is sure losing this *console war*
I wonder if Gear's War or Halo will come to the Ps3?
They've been at least 5 million ahead of PS3 the entire generation, 99% of multiplatform games sell better on 360, 1st party games sell better on 360 than ps3 (though there is more 1st party games on ps3, they just don't sell well), xbox live continues to embarrass psn in features and makes them almost $1 billion a year in revenue alone..
All the while Sony has bled money this gen, and is just now...4 years later, making a little bit of money on the ps3. I'm sure MS is really crying.
only reason why ms is winning is because theyll pay 40 million to keep something exclusive. now that to me is greedy
This. Sony has so many exclusive games that will never see the 360 because they made the smart decision to buy and own all these studios(Polyphony, Naughty Dog, Media Molecule, Guerrilla. ZIpper, etc., etc.) whereas Microsoft has decided to throw money at third party developers for exclusive games and content. It's a poor strategy on their part.
It was a smart decision for you, the gamer, but not a business one. Like I said, all of the money they made on ps2 was blown within a year of the ps3, and they lost an insane amount of money up until a few months ago, while MS has been profitable for around 2 years now. They don't NEED exclusives outside of Halo, because the third party attach rate on 360 is insane, as well as the profits from xbox live.
These exclusives for Sony have done absolutely squat for them this gen. Last I looked, the biggest 1st party game they had was Killzone 2, which didn't even crack 4 million.
