Appreciate the feedback guys however the intent of the article was strictly to point out that there are less exclusives than before. That may depend on how seriously the console makers put an emphasis on first party developers.
Instead I wanted to point out what these developers appear to be doing instead of making exclusives.
Why is that, because thats all its been applied to in the past?
For me personally Crysis fell under that high system requirements category. Due to the higher system requirements not as many people felt the need to upgrade, although that game also introduced a lot of new PC gamers.
Obviously people have a PC if they are even reading this, however I spoke more towards a gaming PC, or a reason to upgrade their now Microsoft Word PC into a PC Gaming Machine which includes StarCraft 2.
Thanks for the comment though, I appreciate it.
@Milo: Quality obviously was considered but so were a lot of things but it ultimately came down if I personally enjoyed and how game time I got out of it and how much fun it was.
@Infamous: Surprisingly I never really liked Eden despite my love for PJM. For some reason it never "hooked" me.
@LastLiving: I agree its redundant, I think I even mentioned that, but its a different concept and a lot more entertaining when playing where others. Plus they are other...
I am not sure why I feel the need to defend myself or the article maybe because I think you guys are missing the intent of the article. It wasn't my purpose to state the first party games will or might be going multi-platform. the titles I mentioned at the beginning was just to reference that Sony expects a lot out of them the others I simply said I would obviously like to play. The games I specifically referenced as the way games will go, GTA 4 and Bioshock are NOT first party games.

The article isn't about any particular game, but more about the game industry as a whole. Those games were used as examples and many other NON Sony or Microsoft titles could be inserted in their place. Also just because they are IP's of Sony or Microsoft does not mean they CAN'T be multiple platform, just they never have - and the way they current do business would be foolish. Again that doesn't mean it can't change which is what the article was eluding to.
That, or... I am a com...
I understand some of the games will be pushed into 2010, but like I said, we can hope. Also a lot of you brought up some other games however some that were brought up were already listed like InFamous, MAG, Ratchet & Clank & WKC while some others listed were not PS3 exclusive which is what I was focusing on. However thanks for the feedback.
I didn't even mention game engines and how the contributes to the ease of porting a game but its a good point. However I don't think that is or was a huge factor.
Also as far as a publisher missing out on that market, I don't think they have a choice anymore in this market.
