I really hope my RE5 experience will not be hampered by the system I buy it on...

 

ya, its getting really sad at this point. 360 getting bonus content for multiplat games is, IMO, just plain stupid.

its not like the companies are making more money if they sell more 360 copies than PS3 copies. in reality, they're losing money cause thats less people to sell the DLC to.

 

maybe M$ is paying them off :o

 

 Perhaps its the knowledge that they will have so much more people to sell it to if they do it on 360 then PS3? Idunno =/

 

ya, but think of it like this.

a kid has a PS3 and wants RE5. hes not gona go get a 360 just for the DLC. even if he does, Capcom makes 0 dollars from that, other than on the DLC, which if they put on the PS3, they would have made anyway.

theyre just losing money by not making it like that. and who cares if the 360 version sells more? capcom doesnt give a crap, they just want money

Well, it's an absolute given that if it ends up being exclusive DLC, Microsoft paid for it.  Obviously they wouldn't just do it out of charity.

 

As you said, if someone already owns a PS3 and not a 360, this definitely wouldn't sway them into buying it.  However, if they didn't own either console and were debating which to pick up for this game, all other things being equal, what do you think they'd pick?  Likewise, if they already had both systems, this would make them more likely to pick up the Xbox version.
