killzone 2, final fantasy vs XIII, Heavy Rain (4 years), that just off the top of my head, I'm sure there are more, but I'm also sure there are more for the 360

HR & KZ2 took 3.5 years to develop. Versus XIII is the only one that's not out, and that's not on Sony but Square-Enix.

you are rounding down, I'm rounding up, since It is closer to 4 years than 3.5. Of which I'm sure they took much longer to develop, that is just the time between announcement and release.   Also, he wasn't talking about games made by Sony, he was talking about ps3 exclusives, so why you even threw in that Versus was square is beyond me.  

KZ2 didn't start development until a good time had passed from when that E3 2005 trailer was shown (in fact, it was quite some time - as Guerrilla distinctly corrected a few mistakes about it's dev time). It ended up being announced in May 2005, but releasing in Feb 2009 which is just a bit more than 3.5 years, but certainly far from 5. Also, HEAVY RAIN was shown running on PS3 hardware in May 2006, yes, but didn't become a PS3 exclusive until July 2007. Like KZ2, it wasn't announced 5 years in advance. GT5 is the only PS3 exclusive title announced 5 years before it's release that's currently out. Versus XIII will be #2, in which case I only brought up Square because that wasn't a PS3/Sony issue, but a Square issue (they have a tendency to announce many of their titles long in advance, not just PS3 games). Red Dead Redemption, Rage, Alan Wake, Versus XIII, & GT5 are the only titles (afaik) that were either announced 5 years in advance or had 5 year dev cycles.

My point was only saying not to make it sound like a substantial amount of PS3 titles are announced 5 years in advance because they aren't.

notice how my post said 4 years?  Now that you have said all that, it pretty much doesn't mean anything.  You are just re-saying exactly what I said with more words, good job.
