They should add an exclusive character after the game is out for a month.  then they can get a real gage of how big of a difference it should make.  I sure hope we get a demo of the game after it releases.  I want to try it badly and I don't have any friends with a ps3.

The ps3 version has approx 70k more pre-orders in US. Tho perhaps thats a result of extra publicity due to the inclusion of kratos in the ps3 version.

What I would have loved to see was exclusive characters on both sides with cross platform play. Would be fun to see the big xbox characters fight the big ps3 characters though the ps3 controller would probably give ps3 owners a big advantage. Too bad thats never going to happen.

Probably Microsoft, you know how stupid some devs/people *cough* DC, get about killing their VIRTUAL fucking characters.

They're not real FGS.

EDIT - that said in several interviews we've seen remarks like this

' What's the deal on exclusive characters for X360'

* smirk* ... we're not talking about that right now ...

I mean?

Let's see:

1. PS3 version gets Kratos, no exclusive character for 360

2. PS3 demo a month or so before release, no 360 demo

3. Exclusive advertisements for PS3 version flooding the TV

It's easy to read between the lines of what Ed Boon is saying. Happens all the time.

I imagin Sony worked out a deal for the demo, what with it being exclusive to PSN Plus for the first week of release. But I don't think part of the deal was to exclude the 360 version of an exclusive character.

Funny how it pleases a few fanboys when it's irrelevent to their version though

Really? Then why can't Ed Boon talk about it? Developers place the blame on the console maker any chance they get, especially if it's the truth. When we get purposely vague comments from developers, that usually signifies that they can't talk about something because of contractual obligations. Remember how many times developers couldn't talk about possible PS3 versions of their games being created? That usually meant they were under contract by Microsoft for 12 months or whatever it is, and a game would eventually surface.

Sony paying for the games advertising and throwing some cash at them in exchange for an exclusive demo(or an exclusivity period on it) and an exclusive character sounds like a reasonable package deal. 

Fulgore! Fulgore! Fulgore!!!! You KNOW I would import that damn game twice just so  I can play as him DAMMIT!

Yeah Fulgore would have been awesome. Oh well....
