Why does Sony let every single exclusive game go, and Microsoft gets it!!!?

May be...

I don't know what sony is thinking about but I know for sure they dont give a F* about their games. They let microsoft take all of their exclusive games, Devil may cry, resident evil, final fantasy, and now Tekken 6. What is next? MGS? like for real. Do you think that sony should just let the games go? or do you disagree with that?

Sony has no control over if there "exclusives" go over to other platforms or not. unless they own or bought out that company. Take Square-Enix for example and FFXIII. the reason square moved over to microsoft was to make money. If you had the choice of making 1 million dollars and keeping the game exlusive with ps3 or make 2 million dollars but make it go over to microsoft, which would you choose? Think long and hard.



square would have stayed exclusive if they the ps3 would have sold better. this goes all the way back to when they put the ps3 back at $600. it was sony's stupid mistakes that made this switch over.



it's all about money, and it was a smart choice by square. companies don't give a care about consoles, it sad but true.



the only thing sony could have possibly done would pay square or any other company money to stay exclusive. but they haven't been making enough money to do that.



why do you honestly care if mocrosoft has a used to be sony exclusive game or not. your still getting it. don't be a fanboy. enjoy your d+mn console and be happy for what you have. i'm glad these exclusives are moving over, because more people can experience these great games. even though i only own a ps3, i don't care about if a exclusive goes over to microsoft and the xbox, because i can still play the d+mn game

Sony is too stretched to afford exclusives. Remember Microsoft is basically just software and gaming(360). Sony has gaming, TV, Walkman, DVD players, Blu-Ray players, movie studios. See where Microsoft has an easier time paying for exclusives if they wanted/needed to? Anyway though developers don't want to make exclusives anymore. There is too much money out there, and with PS3 having not taken off yet they aren't going to go exclusive to it. As it gets more sold the developers will start to be more willing to go exclusive. That was the big advantage for Sony with the PS2. Almost everyone with a gaming system had a PS2 as well, or only. Anyway I remember when Rockstar decided to put Grand Theft Auto 4 out on both systems at the same time. Up until then Sony had a somewhat exclusive deal. They had 6 month exclusives, got the "stories" games made for the PSP(and ported to PS2). I knew then that Sony wasn't going to get exclusives other then what it made. Remember when Rockstar first put out Grand Theft Auto the only Console it was on was Playstation(was also on computer from the start), and Sony stuck by them. When the game really took off after 3 Sony still got a form of exclusive, basically credit for sticking by them.

Final fantasy was nintendo, not sony. It was released on NES, back in the day, not on PS1 first. IF Sony lets games go, tehn there will be a less chance that people will buy a Sony console just to play a game.



For example: If grand theft auto was only for PS2 and you had an xbox and wanted grand theft auto so badly, but then if they ported gta to xbox, then you would just forget about PS2.



also like somebody said, it is the developers decision, unless microsoft buys the rights.

Sony can't decide what an independent developer does with it's games. Making a game is much more expensive then it used to be. Developers make more money when they release the games on more consoles, so that's what they do.





To be fair a few Microsoft exclusives have gone to Sony as well.



Bottom line game makers can't afford to be loyal fanboys, they need to make money to keep their businesses going.

The only way they'd be able to stop them from going multiplatform would be to pay the publisher more than the profit the publisher expects to make by porting the game to 360. That'd be ridiculously expensive, particularly for a system that's already cost Sony $3 billion and served it purpose (pushing Blu-Ray passed HD-DVD).

Well Microsoft have the money and these companies don't care about being loyal, they just want profit, if they get the chance they'll take it. Its just life. Sorry. Last year I would have been angry but now i don't care about this war between the consoles, they are businesses, they don't care about us, only the change in our pockets

i personally do not think it is sony's fault because it all comes down to the developers, now sony can try to prevent them from doing it by compensating them but at the end of the day the developer is the one who decides whether they want to release games exclusively or multiplatform

Unless Sony is helping develop the game, or buy it as an exclusive, it's not theirs, and the developers can do whatever they want. They do this **** cause they want money.

the games u ention are all 3rd party games....only 1st party and 2nd party are usually exclusive....microsoft well dominating just now.....but the ps3 has lots more to offer and we havent even scratched its potential yet.....developers dont know how to use the ps3 yet but they are learning....once they cracked it microsoft wont have a look in

Microsoft is a VERY rich company. They throw all this money around, aiming to steal exclusives. Luckily, devolopers are using the full potential on the ps3. The potential the xbox 360 doesnt have.

Because Microsoft pays more money. Thats known fact. This isn't hurting the ps3 though. It goes to show how low Microsoft really is.

its not their fault, devs need the money to make them, and exclusives give them that money

its because of the money
