i hope its true, then all the ps3 fanboys , can keep on complaining about a series that was once only on their platform. who cares if a company buys time-exclusive or full exclusive, its a business ppl and where the money is at or coming from is where a game or series is going to appear on. like star ocean4 , i think square-enix put it on the xbox 360 to help balance out the games across the platforms. just stop complaining and just enjoy the games.

 

When was Resisdent Evil ever only on PlayStation platforms?  RE 1/2 came to the ps1 and N64, RE2/3, RE0, and a remake of RE1 all went to the GC, and RE4 went to the GC/ps2/Wii.

Don't you just love someone "pretend" to be speaking from a neutral party's point of view when he is CLEARLY a xbox fan?

I mean, how would you feel if it's PS3 buying time exclusivity???

I don't mind fanboy, I just don't like people denying they are when all evidences point otherwise.

I don't understand why u r complaining about Microsoft. Sony did the same thing with Haze :D They paid Ubisoft for exclusivity at a time, the game looked great. Now MS does the same thing with a better selling title. This is just the business.



Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

ps3 install base will be greater than 360 install base by the time RE5 comes out. and will keep pulling away.

regarding the issue it would make no sence for capcom to release 360 1st then ps3 later, both will be great games and will sell like bucket loads. il be buying the ps3 version

MS buying a timed exclusive would definately count this as a “speculator and….desperate announcement”.



Thanks for the input, Jeff.

The PS3 install base will be nowhere near the 360 by the time RE5 hits, but nice try. Any small bumps the PS3 may have for June will be erased instantly in December where the 360 outsold the PS3 by nearly 500k last Christmas in the US alone. I think it was even more than that the previous holiday season, two times that I believe. 360 will crush the PS3 this holiday season and I have two PS3s in my household and I can say that pretty much easily. There is no other game I want to buy for the console for the rest of the year and there are no killer apps either. MS holiday line-up is much, much stronger. MGS4 was the last big gun Sony had for a long, long time. Moreover if RE5 hits the 360 exclusively this holiday season this will make the gap even bigger.

But how much? Is 2 DLCs of GTAIV really worth 50 million dollars????

Is a few months of exclusive right really going to get enough people to buy 360 in order to justify that kind of money?? Well, the answer is no, and Microsoft is only hurting gamers.
