Okay...if you want to believe that...go right ahead...I have my doubts about that. As for those other game series, you have no idea what the terms were...but based on comments from Japanese developers, it seemed that M$ invested money in developing games for the 360...which made sense, as a way to encourage developers to learn to program on the 360, and exclusivity was the by-product. So, it's basically, here's $3-4 million to help defray the cost of making the games, and I'll (as in M$) will make it up on sales. In fact, that's why that article said about 8 months ago...the Japanese developers HAD to port it the PS3 to make money...so if M$ paid for the whole bill...why would the Japanese developer care about breaking even...seems like they would be at breakeven from unit one.
