I said the black elite is limited, Microsoft said so, the elite is not limited in general though. New DOA exclusive to PS3? sounds great.

Can you link the bit of news about DOA please. Thanks.


I'm not entirely sure what you're saying here. It was speculated that the Elite 360 would only be a limited edition, but it was simply a rumor. There are several sources saying the Elite 360 is a permanent SKU.

"The Elite is not a limited edition console. Microsoft now has three permanent SKUs."

"Despite rumors to the contrary, we do know that this black color will not be a limited edition."

And here is a link for the possible DOA for PS3:

In my opinion, the only way the PS3 will end up number 1 is if the Wii severely drops off. And it has to drop off soon. The kind of momentum it is building right now is unprecendented, much in the vein of the PS2. After picking up fast enough, it won't stop, simply because there will be a development shift to support the most popular console.

FFXIII is being over-developed and jumping onto other consoles: http://www.ps3center.net/story-394.html

And, the Lair developers have said it is much easier to develop from the ground up on the PS3 and then port to the 360, not the other way around. So, if games suffer due to the PS3 install base, it won't be uncommon to see those third party developers move it to the 360 to recoup costs.


I meant the elite being in the black color is a limited edition, it will be continuing but in white after the batch of black ones are through. thanks for the news links, I thought the black color was limited :D

 

Those are FF XIII spin offs not the actual game being made for PS3 that is not exclusive, Lair is second party not 3rd party I don't think it's gonna go multiplatform at all and 3rd parties going multiplatform is gonna go both ways between 360 and PS3. 



Thanks to Blacksaber for the sig!
