There's supposed to be a huge uproar over it coming out one day early? How would this help out Microsoft to the point that they would somehow have organized this? As if anyone who had a PS3 only would turn around and buy an Xbox 360 so that they could get RE5 a day early.

Yep, it's as dumb as it sounds.

 

You do realize that people can own both consoles don't you? And you do realize that MS gets royalties from selling games? And you do realize that a lot of japanese gamers favor the PS3 and would most likely buy all multiplats on the PS3 if they had both? And you do realize there is an online co-op which means if a person picks up the 360 version early, later on it could factor into a friend getting the 360 version over a PS3 version? And you do realize the more someone plays a system and the more games they buy for a system the more they are going to like the system and support games on it that they otherwise may not have been interested in or even cared to check out? You do also realize that that link was from a japanese website advertising for free the XBOX 360 and the fact that a very popular game is on that console, helping to erase the notion that the 360 doesn't have many games for the japanese market?

Just because you can't figure out how it would help MS, doesn't mean that it wouldn't.
