SimBin boss Henrik Roos has revealed that RACE PRO is exclusive to the Xbox 360 as they had to finance the production of the game alone and the company simply did not have the budget for a PS3 version. He also added that it can be interesting to be exclusive to one platform although failed to elaborate further on this.

SimBin boss Henrik Roos has said that developing exclusively for one console “could be interesting,” when referring to SimBin’s decision to make RACE Pro exclusive to the Xbox 360.
When asked by our sister publication, 360 Gamer magazine, why SimBin had decided to make the game a 360 exclusive, Roos admitted that financial matters had played a part in the decision – but added that it could also have possible benefits as well.
“SimBin has financed this production our self and we simply did not have the budget to do a PS3 [version],” Roos said.
Looking on the bright side though, he added that “it could also be interesting to be exclusive on one platform, if the support from the platform holder is good.”
Unfortunately, Roos didn’t elaborate on what exactly was meant by this. Although it is worth remembering that many third party developed exclusives have used their exclusivity as an effective marketing tool in the past.
