because sony has lost all of its third party exclusives from last gen: FF, RE, DMC, GTA.

 

FF has been on the GBA and I'm pretty sure the GameCube.

You're kidding right???
Posted by The God of War: "Resident Evil? Code Veronica was on the Dreamcast first and RE4 was on the Gamecube first. Not to mention the RE 1 remake and RE0 were exclusive to the Gamecube,"

I'm not sure about GTA3 but GTA:VC/SA both came to the XboX.

DMC3 was on the PC... but we won't count that... Still semi-exclusive.

Did you know abuot MGS:Twin Snakes on the GameCube?? It was a remake of MGS1...

 

 

i think what he meant was that none of them have been on the xbox

What Ari_Gold said. Also, don't forget that the Gamecube got its own versions of MGS and MGS2, and the Xbox got the updated MGS2. Just saying it's not out of the question, not that I care since I already have the game on PS3.

He's wrong even more because (and I forgot to mention this), the series he mentioned lost "exclusivity" before they were even released. This game has been out for nearly a year now. Also, those were remakes instead of ports, and I don't think Konami was too happy about the performance of the Xbox version (not sure about Gamecube versions).

 

PS2 Third Party Exlusives games that were ported to Xbox:  MGS2, MGS3, GTAIII, GTA:VC, GTA: SA, Silent Hill 2: RD, Onimusha

Current Gen games that came out at the same time : GTA 4, RE5, FFXIII, DMC4

Well if you think i'm trolling, well good for you, story says sonys big third party exlusives won't last for long.

MGS3 was never ported to Xbox.

ergh because they will get double the profits on the 360 version

low cost due to being a cheap ass port (as gebx said) + sales of 2 million = $$$

 

1) You think it will sell 2M??? Wow...

2) Cheap as port??? Don't care who said it, you or GebX, the game was stated to be highly optimized for PS3, not to mention the installs and all the PS references they have to remove.

3) Double the profit??? How much proift do you think they made with the PS3 version??? 4 Million + shipped... Even if they only make 25$ for each copy sold, that's $100M in revenue if the game has hit 4M... b4 launch they stated that they needed to sell 1M to break even... if they make 25$ per copy that's 25M budget. So we can say that they've made atleast $75M in pure profit for the PS3 version if we go by this.... You think a 1 year late port to 360 will produce $150M+ in profit??

I am SICK & TIRED of this,........PS3 Superior BS

This hasn't been proved EVER & never will

PS3 is not some superior being with greater technology & MGS4 is a game EASILY done on the Xbox 360 (if RE5 was possible why not MGS4)

So stop the MGS4 is "optimized" for PS3 hype/rubbish.....its getting OLD now

Feeling a bit in-secure there man??? Did I say the PS3 is superior??? NO. I said it was difference... Works difference and different programming methods have do be used to develop for it compared to PC and 360... which I thought was a well known fact... Search it up yourself... i'll help you start: Try this site

EDIT: RE5 wasn't developed with only a single platform in mind like MGS4 was, now was it??? It didn't require an install between chapters/acts... now did it??? Did I say it can't be done??? NO. I asked would it be worth it going through all the trouble.... think it can cover the cost and post a profit decent enough to warrant the work?? Seems like you think it can post a 150M$ profit...

Thats funny, coming from someone who thinks MGS4 will be on 360.

Also, Kojima himself said the game was made specifically for PS3, and could only be done on PS3 hardware

AND... MGS4 looks 5 times better than Res5, in every aspect.
