Demons Souls was a beast of a game.
I guess Project Dark will change his name to Demons Souls for sure, because Demons Souls have reached a big name, at least for hardcore gamer

I think you missed the thread. As long as Project Dark is multiplatform, it can't/won't ever be called "Demon's Souls 2".

unless sony gives them the rights to the game.

Why would they? Demons souls is one of their most memorable new IPs this gen

Hmmm maybe to make some money on an Xbox game?

Sony making money on an Xbox game??? Makes no sense.

If you have rights to the game that sells on another console.

Why would a console manufacturer with rights to an IP, allow for a multiplatform release to make money from another console? As mentioned, that doesn't make sense.

Project dark is a no named new IP that will be available on the PS3 and 360. If Sony ever decides to do anything with Demon's Souls, there will be probably a sequel of sorts, and it will definitely be PS3 exclusive.

Right, an IP that didn't release exclusive in the first place. It's telling that you'd even try to defend that.

Sorry, I have a cold. Could you talk to me like i'm a five year old? 

Ghostbusters is a Sony owned IP ,right?  You asked why would a console manufacturer would release an Ip they owned on another console. I don't know why, but Sony has done it...

I guess that he refering Atari like console manufacturer... but Atari was no more a console manufacturer by a 20 years.

An IP refers to something on a whole. The Ghostbuster's IP refers to the games, movies, music, and any book that there would be. Sony can license out the IP to different people to make items based on it. So the Ghostbuster game IP is the Ghostbuster's movie IP.

So because Atari made a licensed game ~20(?) years ago means they still own it?. That's just plain wrong. Nintendo used to have the James Bond IP... so why is Activision making James Bond games?

And wasn't Ghostbusters dropped by Activision along with Brutal Legend? Why didn't Atari have it originally???

Columbia Pictures owned the name "Ghostbuster" and licencied it for Sony Picture (for one movie) and Atari (for one game).

Ok?

Still doesn't make sense. Sony hasn't owned an IP and allowed it to release on multiple platforms (not named PlayStation) afaik. They would have their name on the bottom right hand corner of the box art. Why wouldn't they do it now?

And when did Nintendo ever own the Bond games?

Published by Nintendo. Going by your guy's logic they must own it.

Wait... Demon's Souls is not just published by Sony... is name rights owned by Sony like God of War.

Other case is Sony publishing Ghostbusters in Europe... but Ghostbusters is not your.
