I've been trying to find sales by platform for Mirror's Edge but haven't had any luck yet.  My guess is that the game sold best on PC, or at the very least that sales from other platforms outpaced sales on the 360 by itself.

It would probably be a stupid business decision to make it exclusive, but knowing EA that isn't out of the question.  Just would seem absurd to me.

Sell best on PC? No games do. Piracy.

The rumor says the game will be on WiiU actually. And it's being made by Retro.
No, nobody from the good Rare is left except the Executive's I think. The people from the good Rare have a rumor themselves about making thir own company and buying Banjo.

What game, the next Banjo-Kazooie?  I think you mean the spiritual successor the one guy was talking about a few weeks ago that was part of the Banjo team. Rare owns the Banjo IP so Retro wouldn't be able to make the game.

The Mirror's Edge thing wouldn't surprise me. Microsoft did partner up with the Worst Company in America two years running.  Tongue
I just did more research, the new Banjo game is called BK Grunty Land. It's Xbox One

You should probably use something other than VGCharts.

It's basically the only way to look at the sales of everything, and they always seem pretty accurate.

The only "official" stuff is the NPD, but that's not too current and it's not specific, really.

Lol, that's cute.

Even so, the sales were split evenly between the 360 and PS3, and since there were some sales on PC, it obviously means that making Mirror's Edge 2 a Microsoft exclusive would be a bad idea.

Not necessarily. They would make money because Microsoft pays them. Microsoft would benefit because they have an extra exclusive to lure people in with.

If EA/DICE didn't feel like they would make enough money off a sequel, maybe getting paid off by MS would set them up with enough potential profit. MS did say they're investing over a billion dollars in to exclusive games, so this could be where some of that money went.

So now there is a rumor that Microsoft is trying to buy developer support for E3 from under Sony. They want devs to show multiplats for Xbox and not bring anything to show on PS4 in their presentation or on the showfloor. This is a rumor on Neogaf but apparently but it was made by a solid source. I won't bother posting more about it because there hasn't been much confirmation on it.

However the rumor I posted yesterday about Xbox getting a downclocked CPU looks like it might very well be real. Apparently they really are having some trouble with the eSRAM.

They don't expect Microsoft to be talking much about specs at E3.
