Obviously the exclusive agreement and funding from SCEA has nothing to do with it not coming to 360 and it has everything to do with the 360 not being able to handle it... LOL.

"Based in Sydney, Australia, Team Bondi is an independent developer with an exclusive agreement with Sony Computer Entertainment America to produce up to 3 titles for the next generation of PlayStation, PlayStation 3."

"Kristan Reed: How are you funding the project? Has SCEA given you an advance or is this self-funded and totally independent?

Brendan McNamara: The project is wholly funded by Sony Computer Entertainment America. We have a long-term exclusive arrangement with SCEA"

so did Bunjie say that ps3 cant handle Halo 3? you know cause MS funded them...
in all seriousness thoush, i do see your point, BUT what makes you think they are lying?
just because theyre funded by sony doesnt mean that what they are saying is a flat out lie.
there is a chance it might even be the truth.

anyway, if they are being funded by sony why isnt it a ps3 exclusive?

If I recall correctly, the game was originally supposed to be paid for and published by SCEA, but later SCEA gave the publishing rights to Rockstar, but are still paying for the development of the game. Why'd they give R* the publishing rights, I don't know. Maybe they hoped the R* name would help it sell better? A R* sandbox game sounds like a winner to a casual.

i guess it would sell better, but R suddenly saying its not a ps3 exclusive is a complete stab at sonys back not to mention sony's trust.

Edit: @jhlennon1, oh ok, thanks for the info. i was basing my assumption on UT3 scenario. cause if UT3 was just a ps3 exclusive i bet it would move way way more consoles.
