So we have to assume that if something comes out earlier on the 360 then that means that MS *must* have paid Capcom off, or forced them to release it later on another network?

What if the 360's architecture is easier to develop for, and easier to build a demo on? What if Sony is lazy about getting demos onto their network? There are so many variables, it seems fanboyish to only accuse MS when it's against your console of choice.

Microsoft has a history of paying for exclusive content.  I doubt that MS would have released the exclusive demo PR announcement, and the exclusive RE5 bundle PR anouncement without some kind of agreement with Capcom.   I don't think it is a bad thing for MS to do, but you shouldn't be suprised when someone points it out.

 

Any Sony has a history (as of the PS2) of having hardware that's difficult to work with, and causes developers to delay their projects. So I don't see how there'd be an easy answer. I agree (as I've said before) that MS may have got the demo earlier as a deal with the RE5 bundle, but there's no way to know. It could of easily of been because the PS3 has kinks in it that have caused Capcom problems (and correct me if I'm wrong, but the PS3 is getting a RE5 bundle as well).
