It has to be playstation loses exclusivity

Or Sony platforms lose exclusivity. In any case, R&C is a multiplat now!

I have an answer, Sony does own the Ratchet & Clank IP. No source though, cause I'm on phone and lazy, so you have to believe my word.

So it is happening...PS4 preorder.

Greatness Awaits!

In other words, NIntendo has been right this whole time?

The Screamapillar is easily identified by its constant screaming—it even screams in its sleep. The Screamapillar is the favorite food of everything, is sexually attracted to fire, and needs constant reassurance or it will die.

So is the Mario franchise since Mario Bros., Mario is Missing and Mario Teaches Typing ;)

I don't mind, if Sony releases some touchscreen games for iOS and Android... but they should also be available on Playstation Mobile!

Why should other App developers support the PSM platform if even Sony neglects it?

It may be that Nintendo is simply late to the party.

not sure why you are surprised by this. sony stated not too long ago they were planning to release companion apps for many of their first party titles. ..play the IOs game get stuff in your playstation game. not sure if it is a smart plan or not but sony is obviously trying to bring in some of the casual smartphone gamers into the playstation fold. probably won't work.
