Just curious since I see it thrown around that Sony paid to have it exclusive in Japan. Didn't Famitsu report that the reason it was most likely PS3 exclusive in Japan was because S-E and Sony had an exclusive contract and to keep Sony from suing the pants off S-E and MS for breaching that contract that Sony got to keep it exclusive in Japan plus some sort of monetary bonus?

I read this somewhere.

If someone can prove it wrong and show me that it was Sony who paid and MS somehow got it for free then go ahead and provide me with a link please. I would like to have what is most likely the truth.

Can you show us some link or reference to this article you're remembering?  Because honestly, I've never read anything like that from an official source like Famitsu?

I'd say logic dictates Sony provided "incentives" in Japan and Microsoft did the same in the west.  Both regions had exclusive advertising and collector's system bundles for each of their platforms.  And honestly if Sony didn't, there's really no reason SE would've signed any theoretical contract in the first place.

Did you see my post right after that? I said it was a Kotaku article and I believe someone said it was claimed as false, so I retracted what I said.
