as long as the games are good, i don't really give a shit

Lol all the games mentioned are shooters of some sort, except for assassins creed which nearly has an equal amount of sales anyway. The 360 is the home of shooters. I saw a research study showing that the PS3 sells more of action-adventure games (e.g. platformers)and sports games.

But to be honest it doesn't bother me.

Sony doesn't care and neither do I. Sony owns tons of studios that are committed to making great PS3 exclusives so like I said before and I will say it now this doesn't matter.

Sony has some great exclusives and tons of studios. They don't need 3rd party exclusives they got a shit load of studios to do that for them.

Wow, this site has been on a roll with their 360 fanboyish ways. I don't even wanna give this site anymore hits because it's obvious that they are fishing for them now (though we have to in order to get into.

Most of the "PS3 devs" are first party, for one.

Second, where in the blue HELL are they getting their numbers. No source, no reference, no nothing. Just some random numbers that could've come from their next door neighbor that they assumed were true just because they wanted it to be. In the lead worldwide? According to WHO? NPD? Give us some sources and maybe we'll believe you. Never mind that the whole FFVersus13 thing they talked about was something the majority of gamers are against.

Then again, can't expect anything less coming from a site that can't even get their own damned NAME spelled right!

EDIT@greeneagle: Thank you, Joe Flaherty! I didn't know the name was spelled that way for a reason that you obviously want to keep to yourself. Then again, I don't know why I'm answering you, since you probably won't be keeping those other two bubbles for very long with THAT attitude.

Yeah I'm fine with Insomniac going multi-platform it just means that more people will get to experience the joy of there games. As for this article, I haven't read it but I can guess the layout of; blah blah blah ps3 studio went multi platform blah blah blah its because 360 has bigger install base blah blah blah soon the whole world will cower before the all mighty 360 blah blah blah. I don't see how this one was aloud through as it does seem like quite a bias article.

Joke article.

I'm still sad that exclusives like Episodes from Liberty City will never come to the PS3...

L O L

If final fantasy had been exclusive it wouldn't have comparatively SUCKED, and those one and a half million people would have either gotten it on ps3 or all the people with ps3's that didn't buy it because it was multi plat and new it was going to suck would have bought it.
Multi platform games are of lesser quality 90 percent of the time.
The only games that haven't been are umm
Assassins creed one and two, borderlands, and...jeez I don't know nothing.
Rockstar games are good but buggy as all hell and poorly ported.

I doubt many 1st party PS3 devs will be jumping on the 360 any time soon. Oh and dominate multiplat sales? What is this 06? A few thou more is dominating? Those few examples in the article kind of proves that. How about some more up to date titles that aren't big budget shooters.

This is flambait. Nothing more.

I'm pretty sure many a fanboy was butt-hurt when Bizarre Creations, Bungie, and Insomniac went multi plat from their "respective" systems. Everything changed this generation and I agree with those that says exclusives are dying. Other than Sony's IPs or MS' IPs, there is no reason for 3rd party devs to deny themselves money they can make on more systems.

This whole article reeks of desperation. To top it off the source of the figures provided is where exactly?
If you find it please let me know.

Most of the ps3 devs are sony's own developers.
and 2nd party and third party will just be multi platform.

lets ignore that Bungie (Halo) and Bizarre Creations (PGR, Blur) jumped ship too. That's 2 for MS and 2 for Sony even though Insomniac and Ninja Theory were always 3rd party devs while the other 2 were first party studios of MS.

There aren't any other devs like Square jumping ship and going PS3 because the X360 had nothing to begin with...

can't be

Wow, I didn't know "Insomniac" is considered "some developers."

My math teachers taught me the wrong thing about what's plural! Dang those educators!

Yeah its true- but theres not much exclusive games that arent made by sony owned devs. The only ones I can think off the top of my head is sucker punch, quantic dream and from software

God of War, Uncharted, LittleBigPlanet, Motorstorm, wipeout, killzone, Socom, warhawk are all made by sony owned devs,

40 million install base

Flamebait and illogical.

Insomniac went multiplatform but also went on-record saying that they would still develop exclusive games for Sony. Now the bulk of gaming "journalists" write garbage like this saying every PS3 developer is going multiplatform when it simply is not true! I wonder what they think of the Activision/Bungie scenario.....

but what a terrible article to submit or even approve. I hope Kenny Brown is not the editor in chief of this site because I wouldn't be too proud of the drivel that's being exposed to the world in there. 'Company's' ? Really? It was poorly written too. They might also want to check some of their 'Numbers' for Modern Warfare 2. They used the launch day numbers and not the life-to-date charts.

First of all, Sony doesn't have many 3rd party exclusives left. So it's not like its that big of deal in the first place. Second it's not just Sony it's every platform. No more Hero's Bungie, Crytek, Epic, i think after this gen. No more elusive 3rd parties with exist. With the exception of a few rare one. Gears, splinter cell. The truth is money is more powerful then the big 3, and will win every time. Not even money bags Microsoft has enough money to fund that many 3rd party exclusives. This gen really belongs to the 3rd party devs. They are making more money than ever before. But who cares, If we had exclusives every month, the excitement of them would be over. But this is hardly a problem Sony has. It has more first party then Microsoft Nintendo combined. Really Microsoft is the one hurting from this the most.

Its over for Sony. Microsoft is dominating 3rd party. I mean just look at them, Ninja Gaiden, Bioshock, Lost Planet, Dead Rising, Star Ocean, Episodes from liberty city, OMG NOOOO!!! the PS3 is DOOMZED!!!" DOOMZED!!!!....

Anyway that would matter if the best games this gen had not come from Sony's studios.

wheres the article "hey, why is every friggen 360 'exclusive' either a multiplat or ends up appearing on ps3?" seriously, wheres a nice where are 360's exclusives article? this gen far more devs/games have turned their back on the 360 but that never gets written, it's ALWAYS sony is doooomed.

With the install base of the 360 and PS3 so evenly split the only exclusives left will be first party or paid third party content. Fanboys just live in fear that Sony or MS who care only about money will go away and not come back. Fact is all three are going strong and are not going anywhere anytime soon. Developers know there are 40 millon 360's and 35 million PS3's and a healthy growing install base they see nothing but $$$$$$$$. The funniest thing on this site are fanboys who actually think Sony and MS care about them and not just the money.

Sony have nothing to worry about. Most of Sony's game developers are OWNED by Sony, who make great games. Microsoft are the ones that need to worry. They hardly have any games that are first party. The majority of their exclusives are made by a 3rd party developer, who can easily shift and start making games for PS3 as well.

It's Microsoft that need to worry, not Sony.

Sorry, but i can't take anyone seriously who calls Lost Planet 2 "AAA". And using VGchartz Software Numbers is the icing on the cake, really ...

Though i would like a list of the "more devs" he is talking about.

One: Xbox 360 vs PS3 is hardly part of any research, so I'd like to see this current research.
Two: Dominating? Overstating much? They've pretty much evened out for as far as I can see.
Three: Ps3 developers going Multiplatform for sales? Then why did Bungie go multiplatform I wonder, considering they sold millions on Xbox alone. (and to add to that, they're not even Ps3 developers)

Xbox gets insomniac and ps3 gets bungie, now that pretty much the last third parties have gone multiplat, everyone wins right? Ok, then stop with the dumb news articles trying to stand for one side or another.<_<

I cant think of any TBH

dis vould getz hot in hier

To be perfectly honest, his research is absolutely flawed from the start.

This is a simpler explanation. You as a business, want to make the most money going. You are 3rd party so you won't have the protection of the likes of Sony or Microsoft so to make the most money, they choose to go multiplatform.

They were only Sony 'exclusives' because when the PS2 was around, there was no choice as to who you went to. Let's be serious here.

Stupid article.

lacks balance, i mean if you carefully look around, there are quite a handful of games that either perform on par with the 360 counterparts or do better. Batman,ff13 to name a few...

Also insomniac going multiplatform is no different than bungie doing the same.

So i guess i should write an article about how more 360 devs are going to choose ps3 for its momentum and the cash it is now bringing in?

the right thing for this article to mention and point out is, rather than say devs are after 360 money, say devs are after a bigger market share with their games, devs just simply want to make more money all around.

And the only way for them to do that is by making games across as many platforms as possible.

See how that makes sense and doesn't get anyone hyped one end and ticked off on the other?

Logically speaking if these devs were all after 360 money then there wouldn't a reason for bungie to go multiplatform in the first place, and for a game like call of duty to even be on PlayStation platforms, pcs and even wiis.

seriously these are the type of articles an amateur would write, and unfortunately get hits for..and here i thought HHG was a crazy hype man..i guess you never know these days.

People hate fanboys, yet.. the industry is full of them itagi, cliff b, those goons over at ign podcast...it is this effect that trickles down on to gamers and fuels them to become gaming nazi's. And honestly that's sad on many levels, i love PlayStation it is my platform and brand of choice.

but i also respect the others out there, i have a 360, heck i still have a dreamcast sitting around..

i may defend my platform yeah, i may make poke fun at the others from time to time, but i wont insult with baseless assumptions.

does the writer understand why some devs are exclusive?
ready at dawn, thatgamecompany, etc are such small studios that trying to be multi-platform would compromise the quality of the games (which is probably why they concentrate on PSN and PSP titles)

and of those that actually are geared towards full PS3 games;
ninja theory never was an exclusive developer,
Eat sleep play has a 3 game deal with Sony, and has yet to release the first,
Slant six has only released SOCOM: confrontation on PS3 - which was met with luke-warm reception.
which leaves Sucker punch who seem, at least outwardly, happy with the relationship they have with Sony.

These articles about Sony devs leaving to go to 360 are getting frustrating and annoying. There is no evidence in any shape, form or fashion that can support this, only pure, pathetic speculation.

I actually misread "money making" to "monkey making"...

Never use that site, children.

It's 100% made up.

For example: Xbox 360's version of FFXIII hasn't sold (and will never sell) 1 million. It is nowhere close to 1.5.

Furthermore, "recent trends" for this site includes Call of Duty 4 and is limited to shooters.

Meanwhile, on planet earth: Sony's financials indicate that PS3 sold MORE SOFTWARE last year than 360, with a smaller userbase. Oh noes. How to keep the sinking Y.O.Y. declining Xbox boat afloat? Make a big deal out of Insomniac making one title for it and create FUD articles like this.

Lets just play with this headline shall we .....

"More 360 Devs Will Choose The PS3."

I mean , cmon, either way , its bleeding obvious..

How about

"More PC Devs will choose Consoles."

That works also.

it's more like more dev's will go multiplat, but only ones which are not first party:P:P:
both bungie and insomniac have gone multi and all of a sudden that menas everyone is jumping on the 360, lol love the bias.
trouble is once insomniac find out how limited the x360 is compared to ps3 they may well regret it

@desperado what do you expect they are ninty and x360 biased, ps3 has been undertracked and understocked for ages yet they still all deny it despite the evidence, they have just changed their website, so hopefully they will change their ever predictable tune:(:(

u guys go nuts.....lol

other than First Party studios i dont think theres any one left!

i hope they don't mean 1st party devs =P that's funny

Lol

i will eat my shoe if they get MM and other first partys

Independents can do as they like

And after getting Bungie u do no they have worked with Sony before

Xbox need to focus on developers that are not Independent

Sony is looking to buy more first party developers
the world would end if bungie got a offer they could not refuse

Off topic
Microsoft was also taken down by apple this week
They are in deep do do

Wont be long before
Google takes em down too

That Sonys good developers are simply free to roam around then. They are first party :)

We could lose Sucker Punch too I guess, I don't think Sony would try and buy them, they're not a good of enough developer to warrant putting that much cash down. They don't use the power of the cell properly either.

Oh, plus. That list is very selective. If you look at other maintstream titles like Tekken 6, FFXIII or Batman Arkham Asylum.

another sony is doom article i miss those

If they were smart they'd choose the PC.

ps3 will have the most and best exclusives, FACT

Bluray disc vs. 7 gigs
good exclusives vs. Halo
free good Internet vs. Subscription fees with lousy desktop

I rest my case ps3 is a device and 360 is a toy(a crappy toy)

if insomniac wants to port over resistance they better shrink the hell out of it because last time I checked a 30 gig game won't fit on a 7 gig disc. So 360 will get alot of crappy ports, hi final fantasy!

the ps3 is quickly staring to rise
and the xbox is slowly starting to fall

imo that is

dont get me wrong i love my xbox
but it doesnt get used at all atm
however my ps3 is getting all the action right now

i just feel that there is more going on and a greater sense of optimism
towards the furture of what this console(ps3) can do..

as for the multi-plat dev's thing
why is it that all of a sudden insomniac are
the GREATEST THING SINCE SLICED BREAD
and when bungie went multi-plat it didnt get hyped as much.. well... as much as insomniac is.. atm

is me or something?

oh yh and insomniac was a 2nd party and still are
just not with this NEW IP their cooking up

the funniest thing i read recently was about the THANKING OF "LOYAL FANS" for going multi plat... im thinking if they were soooo "LOYAL"
why were they(the fans) wanting them to go multi-plat
doesnt seem that loyal to me imo
i bought a playstation as soon as i saw uncharted 1 and knowing it was being made by NAUGHTY DOG im loyal to them for there crash bandicoot/ jak & daxter

and before someone says about the loyal fans not being able to afford a PS3 at the time
i have this to say

HAVE PEOPLE FORGOT TO SAVE MONEY NOWDAYS OR SOMETHING!!!
LOL

RANT OVER AND OUT

I hate how this article is titled "More PS3 Devs Will Choose The 360". So what... It's not like they are going to abandon the PS3 completely and exclusively develop for 360... They are still going to make their games on the PS3 and make new ones for 360... What 360 fans will do to have PS3 games....

Insomniac's still doing PS3 exclusives. Resistance 3 for example. The article kinda missed that part.

The way i read his data is that the PS3 will likely be getting more of the 360 devs as well, as in this is the end of console exclusives just like Pachter said was going to happen. The ps3 even with a small installed base is getting closer and closer to 360 game sale numbers. Its attachment rate is going up and approaching the 360's.

It seems like it will be going both ways rather than just one way.

Sony has way more internal studios than MS does though so if anything the PS3 is the system to get, you will get all the multiplats and all the ps3 1st paty exclusives. Its a no brainer.

Games that eventually go multiplat don't suck because of that. They suck because the concepts are tired and overused. Final Fantasy is a good example. There has been eleven FFs before this one. Anyone who still thinks a game can still be fresh after so many versions is deluded. Xbox 360 owners have never played a FF game on their system,so most of them have no clue how boring and tedious the series has gotten over the years. Sqaure Enix, time to move on.

GT5 coming to 360
GOW III comin to 360
KillZone 3 coming to 360
Socom 4 coming to 360
And many more coming soon.

It's obvious a 360 fan boy wrote this article.. we really need to stop with the fan boy wars. Its pissing me off

Insomniac hasn't chosen the 360, though. They are just going to develop a game for both the 360 and the PS3. It's just like Bungie hasn't chosen the PS3.

I mean, Sony themselves said that third party exclusives are pretty much done, so while M$ is willing to shell out the money to get some, I think Sony is just going to depend on the first party games, and not shell out the money for Final Fantasy and yada yada.

I like Sony this generation. The exclusives they've had this generation have all been pretty amazing. I mean, let's just ignore Haze.. But even that wasn't terrible, it was just mediocre, and hyped to be amazing.. All in all, Sony is not going to be hurting for awesome exclusives if they just keep doing what they're doing. The loss of insomniac is not going to cripple them.

huh ps3 games going on 360? does the 360 even have any exclusives of its own? well apart from gears of war, which is still from a 3rd party developer.

LoL people trying to stick up for their console

Do they not know that sony owns a whole lot of studios. So the only ones leaving will be ones that sony does not yet own.

Unless developers are first party and Sony, Microsoft, or Nintendo pay for 3rd party content more then likely they'll be going multiplatform.

Sony/Nintendo have a lot of 1st party studios.

Microsoft don't have very many 1st party exclusive developers.
-Bungie (Left Microsoft now has a 10 year contract to make games for Activision.)
-Bioware (Left Microsoft and are now developers for EA.)
-Bizarre Creations (Left Microsoft and are now developers for Activision.)
-Epic Games (Making Bulletstorm multiplatform.)
-Remedy Studios (3rd Party)
-Ruffian Studios (3rd Party)
(Only good 1st party devs Microsoft have are Rare, Turn 10, and Lionhead Studios.)

Nintendo:
(Most 3rd party devs that were once exclusive are now making their motion style games for PS3/Xbox 360 w/ Playstation Move and Project Natal.)

Not saying that Microsoft can't pay for 3rd party devs to make exclusives but that's not a good look for their console depending on others to make games for them instead of building up their own 1st party studios.

This article shouldn't only be applied to Sony but also to Microsoft/Nintendo as well.

I'm sorry but any article that calls lost planet 2 a AAA title is an epic fail.

with the 360 established as the #1 HD console of course many of the devs will chose the 360 much the way it is happening now with multiplatform developers.

most of them are getting their best results on the 360 with their engines as this generation has proven over and over. ps3 first party seem to get good results from the ps3 but not everyone has unlimited sony resources at their disposal and all the time and money to make whatever game they want. id love to see how many first party ps3 games are actually profitable vs just breaking even or losing.

DFresh: You have no idea what you are talking about.. Bioware left MS?? They never owned them.. At least make sure your information is factual before making an azz of yourself. MS has 6 first party studios and let me ask you, of the 21 first party studios sony has how many of them put out quality? not all 21 i can tell you that, more like 6-8 of them..

...where the 360 is irrelevant. Just like the PS2, a significant majority of PS3 exclusives will be Japanese in origin, made for a Japanese audience, and a Japanese market.

They aren't going to make games for Japanese 360s, because the number of Japanese 360s is just too small. Any Japanese dev making a 360 game will be doing so because MS pays them to do it.

in last fiscal year ps3 sold 12 million more software then x360. i don't get it

XactGamer is 110% correct!!

Let me break it down to you Jim Jones Kool-Aid drinking Fanboys... There is only #1 goal of a business. To develop a product or service that will grow with customers and profit. Congrats to Bungie, Insomiac and other companies for going multi-plat for into a new direction for others to experience their talent. Why should one company stunt their own growth?! In this time where the economy has been shaky for the past few years, do you really think companies are not reconstructing therir ways of making business grow?

XactGamer is 110% correct!!

So as a developer, I should limit myself to one console. Or double my profits if I go with 2 or more?! You're a new fool if you blame any one of these companys for that decision. Just remember this.... At the end of the day, it's about how much bread the bakery can profit from.

In defense of sony, they have 21 studio's, so why should anyone care if third party developers choose 360 over PS3,

isnt sony leading the 360 in sales since lauch?

As long as there is money to be made, there will probably now more 3rd Party exclusives anymore

3rd party games should be multiplat anyway...

fanboy title

more third party devs will go multiplatform...

if they want to make multi platform games make sure they make games that uses all the capacity of a blu ray disc.So for the ps3 only uses one blu ray,for 360 two dvds.Hmmm,money to be made if developers are thinking about making money,hahahaha.

Now that Jim Ryan is gone just need to remove Herman Hulst from his position! And maybe give Shuhei the position he deserved.

This gen hasn't been the best for games, last gen consoles are still out there and now there's been talk of the PS6 and Xbox Two for a year or so. Many games this gen will be ported to next gen and the cycle will continue. The re-release of the Neo Geo AES+, games on cartridge for £70 ($95), gaming is going back in time. Gaming has gone pricing mad with the high cost of games, consoles and controllers. The men and women at the top are clueless.

It’s always interesting to hear behind-the-scenes stories like this, especially involving veterans like Shuhei Yoshida and leadership figures like Jim Ryan. That said, there are usually multiple sides to decisions at that level. It could be less about not “listening” and more about differences in long-term vision for PlayStation. Yoshida played a huge role in shaping the brand, so whatever the reason, his impact is undeniable.

If true, and I'm inclined to believe it is, it goes to show that Sony lost their way when they became more western/didn't respect the PlayStation origin story. Andrew House and Jack Tretton did great work, but they also didn't try to fundamentally change the PlayStation DNA. Ryan oversaw the death of Japan Studio and a live service direction.

I already figured this, good lord imagine if Shuhei took over instead, would've been a platinum era 😩

I miss the first three generations of PlayStation. The way they turned PS3 around, we knew they meant business. We were all worried for a bit there around launch. Eventually from 2008 they started shifting slowly. But since Yoshida was fired, it's never been the same. Still enjoy my PS5 daily. I got a backlog dating back to PS2 lol So I'm fine but new games aren't as appealing anymore.

It seems like we were thrown on to the worst timeline possible where everything is too expensive and the wrong people were put in positions that makes the world a shitty place. We could have had Shu as the head of PS but we got the shitty alternative. Same goes for everyone in power around the world. Doesn’t matter the company or country the majority of us got the shitty picks and the world is declining like never before. I do think PS can come out of this because of their studios, talent and IP but they need someone more in touch with gamers leading things like Shu was. They’re still the best place for console gaming imo but it could be much better than it is especially without the massive live service failures. The rest of the world I have a lot less hope for right now. Hopefully the pendulum swings back towards the good ole days but I’m preparing for the worst.

There goes illuminati distraction story

So now there's certifiable proof that Ryan was in fact "fired", as opposed to when it was first announced that he "retired", in order to save face.

There's another guy who recently "retired" as CEO of another large gaming company, after doing a dismantling job as lead for well over a decade.

seems legit, the business man, fires the one who has ideas to move the business forward.

Jim Ryan is the reason why we are entering year 6 since the PS5 launch and many of us don't feel like the PS5 has gotten started as yet.

I hope going forward, we will see a return to form.
