Right, but where is Eternal Sonata and Ace Combat 6 on PS3? Those are really long "timed" exclusive.

More or less one year ,Eternal Sonata arrived end june last year and will arrive in september this year on PS3...it has had some developing problems that have delayed it a couple months.
Ace Combat 6 arrived end october ...so it could appear in december in PS3.
These timed exclusives are a bad idea for Namco.They are selling not very good numbers on the 360 and when the PS3 version arrives its already old and people are more interested in newer games.If they are selling 100K on the 360 and the PS3 will sell another 100K LTD its not a good deal.They could make 250K-300K on the PS3 and additional 50-60K on the 360 if they released day and date.But I guess thats where MS moneys enters the equation ,oferring them more than those 150K units they wont sell.MS money ,warping the market as usual.
