How much do you reckon Sony paid for MGS4 exclusivity?

I don't think Sony paid for Haze. free radical decided to rlease it on Ps3 only for the following reasons:

1. It was postponed due to the nature of the games coming out at the time of release for fear of getting overshadowed

2. FR knew that the game was sub-par thats why they postponed it in the FPS market where ther's insane competition

3. They decided to switch to PS3 only because there was less competition on the console and they felt that exclusivity and hype would thus send dumb fanboys to the shelf. This is why Haze will outsell Quake Wars on PS3 even though Quake wars is a few notches less dumb than Haze

 

I'm sorry, but thats ridiculous.

1.  Why not postpone it for all three versions?

2.  I think this is the same as your first point, so see that answer again.

3.  Noone in their right mind would believe "Exclusivity hype" would outweigh the combined shooter sales of PC and 360.  In any event, there was no real shooter competition on either of those platforms at the time of release.

 

There is nothing wrong with moneyhatting games, it gets games for your consumers.  But to think Sony doesn't do it is foley.
