U.S. DMC4 sales - 360 vs. PS3 through March 15th

360 = 571,000

PS3 = 394,000

After seeing this, why would ANY Japanese game maker NOT put out their games on both consoles? Do they hate $$$$$$$$$$?

If the PS3 has such a bad attach rate, you'd expect it be lower than half the first number as there's around a half the number of PS3s in the market compared to the 360 :|thrones

Its not that the Ps3 is has a bad attach rate its just that games are selling a lot more copy's on the 360.

They would have to be so xenophobic to the point of oblivion not to see that.

Well it has always been a Playstation franchise so I expected it to do well on PS3, if they put MGS4 on 360 I would expect it to sell more than the PS3 version in Europe and North America as well. 360 is a beast when it comes to software sales, devs sticking to PS3 only are shooting themselves in the foot.

The point still remains. Why would a company give up over a half a million sales? If I owned a game production studio, I would release ALL games as multiplats because , after all, companies are in business to make $$$$$$$$$$$$$$RickGotti

it's not like it's free to develop on multiple platforms...

Going by NPD, it's:

360 = 295,200
PS3 = 253,200

And Japan (famitsu) it's:

360 = 47,000
PS3 = 282,500

+ If the 360 version didn't exist, the PS3 one would've sold more.

Yet...I make a thread saying that GTA IV will sell better on PS3 and I get flamed to death. Why the discrepancy?

Yet...I make a thread saying that GTA IV will sell better on PS3 and I get flamed to death. Why the discrepancy?

Because:

-DMC4 is huge in Japan, GTAIV, at least when compared to its popularity in the US, is not big at all.
-GTAIV 360 has extra downloadable content, and MS said they're going to be putting it in the advertisements for sure.
-It's generally outrageous to say any PS360 multiplat will sell better on the PS3. DMC4 is the exception, not the rule.

It is not an argument genius. I am simply pointing out what a worthless and pointless statement you made. i.e. You know if there wasn't a Wii, more PS3's would have been sold. Ohh, we are on to something here in SW. :roll: Pure lunacy.

This thread is about why Japanese devs should support the 360 more. I'm pointing out why it would be a waste of time, or unprofitible to do so.

RickGotti

Well take a look at the desparity in sales in Europe and Japan. This difference is nothing in comparison to those differences. The PS3 is far more heavily favored. So it really doesn't matter. In the end they'd probably make more money if they just keep it exclusive to the PS3 because porting to the 360 would cost more than it's worth.

DMC doesn't matter anyway. It's GTA 4 that will be the most interesting and I'm betting the PS3 will sell more, even after all that effort MS went into getting exclusive content. That would be so embarrassing.

Not the same thing as what he was saying. He was refering to a future game dev that is considering multi vs single console development. Multi not only cost more, but does not guarantee extra sales as owners of multiple consoles would simply buy the same game on the other system, and even for single console owners, some of them even would buy the console for the game, so X figure sales on a game does not equate the amount of sales lost if that console did not feature that game.

its not that they hate money, it's just that DMC is one of those japanese titles along with RE that NAmericans really love and with 10 millions 360 in NA its pretty obvious the game sells good in NA but if you want to sell a japanese title in general you dont need to be on 360 becausejapan and europe are way more into japanese games so it more than enoug to release on ps3 and/or wii

As much as I'd like to see that,theres no way the PS3 version will sell more.

crazier when you think that sony is supposed to be home to DMC series. guess there must have been lots of sony people who jumped ship and got the 360.

you know cows are delusional when they use 360 outselling ps3 in software as a negative against MS lol!

how about this? sony fans are the dmc fans right? id say that the precedent this sets will be bad for SONY exclusives. moral of the story is put it on 360 and you more then double your money.

ahhh the reckless( and completely unrealistic) optimism of the cows is just so endearing. lol.

Would have been pretty sad if DMC 4 on the PS3 actually sold more than the 360 version.hayato_

not really if you consider the huge gap between the ps3 and 360 in japan. they love DMC in japan.

unless the money that the third party dev gets for staying exclusive is > sales - development.

Capcom's shipment figures are always kind of bloated. Like the time they said RE4 shipped a million copies, when it only sold 600k worldwide.

well, from what you wrote. Capcom said they shipped 1 million, not sell. So, how is it wrong?

360 has about 6 million more owners than ps3 in america....why are you surprised the 360 outsold it in america?
