What you do think? Is Cross Platforming good or does it take away the buyers choice? Does it affect what games you buy? Does it kill the systems?
These are the questions that I have been asked by many, so I thought it would be nice to open this topic up here. Personally, Cross Platforming is more bad than good. Yes, I can understand the sports game crossing over to different platforms. I can even understand racing games like Burnout and Need For Speed being crossed over to all.
Although, what I do not is when a game like FF or Devil Cry is being put on XBOX360 along with releasing it for PS3. Is it nice? Somewhat yes, only for those who can't afford all systems. But it is starting to get out of hand.
For example, how many exclusive titles are their really out their. I can name a few. Metal Gear for PS, Halo for Xbox, Zelda for Wii. I could name more but the honest % of exclusive titles is but slim to none.
Not to mention, that it really does really kill the buyers choice. For example, a person may be deciding whether to buy a XBOX360 or a PS3. Well besides the system differences in terms of games their is really nothing.
The only games to come out recently only for Xbox is Lost Planet, Gears Of War, upcoming Mass Effect, and upcoming Halo 3. (There is more I know, but I'm namin the games with try potential.
So, tell me, what do you think about the Cross Platforming Issue?
