True, but does the industry really need the same games on every platform?

Exclusives are what make the gaming industry so competitive and (supposedly) drive developers to make their games better to compete.

If the PS3 suddenly had Halo, Gears and PGR, and the 360 suddenly had MGS, GT and FF would this really make everybody happy?

Well, no, but given the ass-whoopin' the Wii is handing the high definition consoles across the world, teaming the PS3 and 360 gives roughly the same market at the Wii by itself. With budgets continuing to rise and the Wii continuing to dominate, if a company is making a multi-plat game, this strategy makes sense.

Look at games like Assassin's Creed, CoD4, DMC4, GTA IV, etc... All were resounding successes and all were 360/PS3. If MGS4 falters in any way on the PS3, you can bet there will be a few developers working on 360 or PS3 exclusives shitting themselves over the next few months as their game nears release.

You make a good point...

You are very wise Mr Pig...

However i doubt (or at least hope) MGS4 will falter...im praying it sells billions....
