Regardless of whether MGS4 turns out to be timed or fully exclusive to the PS3, it is quite clear that Sony offered either direct payment or incentives of a certain value to keep the title on their system only.
The sheer cost of developing the title and the PS3's relatively small userbase would have made substantial profit for Konami impossible to achieve without financial support from Sony.
I fully expect this entire thread to be speculation, but I am interested all the same. My questions are:
- How much do you believe Sony paid for MGS4 exclusivity?
- What form do you believe these payments took?
- Will the hardware boost to the PS3 be worth it?
starcraft - Playing Games = FUN, Talking about Games = SERIOUS
