| Dodece said: I suspect those comments have something more concrete to back them up, and we will see that at Leipzig. Probably after Microsoft announces that they purchased ten high level exclusives for their platform. Microsoft spent a lot of money this quarter on something. I suspect that they probably offered enough to get exclusive Resident Evil, Silent Hill, Final Fantasy Versus, Knights of the Old Republic 3, Mass Effect 2, Bioshock 2, and a few others. Now if that is the case then he might be very well justified in his statements. Would be interesting to see if Microsoft spread their cash in a heavy handed way for exclusive rights to the more highly anticipated multiplatform titles. |
The only Resident Evil that will matter this gen is RE5 and that already has a release date. Versus XIII is so far into the future that even if it went 360 exclusive it wouldn't matter as the console war would be over. Silent Hill does not move systems, nor does it even do that great in software sales. Mass Effect & Bioshock have been and gone and had no effect on the PS3.
There is nothing MS can do, no game that can save them. They are throwing their last card now with the price drop.
