Yeah, http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/epic-wont-do-ps3-exclusive

I also remember reading another story around that time of them actually GOING to Sony and asking for money for a kick ass exclusive. Instead Sony was content with Killzone and Resistance (backfired of course). I just don't know why Sony is so obsessed with trying to make Killzone their main shooter franchise.

i see that as them trying to promote/improve and grow their first party games, which i belive is the right thing to do, but yeah its very silly to not grab some exclusives if they are offered to you.

and i dont belive they wont buy/get second or third party FPS or TPS exclusive just to promote Killzone, because well... Resistance is exactly that and its not made by first Party, so there must have been another reason why they didnt accept the offer back then.

I believe the 2 reasons they didn't accept are:

a) They truly thought Resistance and Killzone would have been enough

b) Money. They were also offered Assassin's Creed and Grand Theft Auto as (timed) exclusives but couldn't get either because the PS3 lost them so much money already.
