does anybody know the term "checklisting"?
MS is simply crossing off a checklist of things that make the ps3 different from the 360.
At some point the consumer will see that the huge price difference does not make up for the slowly waning differences.

Haha well even thought I strongly disagree with MS using its large money assertion to pay off devs in need of money to finish other exclusives to get their own quick games, what does go around comes around and there is nothing saying Sony didn't have this coming to them.

Haha but it's not like Sony or its fans have much to worry around. I mean most of these games MS has paid off devs for this to happen the games have flopped and badly. Hell ToV and IU would be disaster if MS hadn't paid them for it. Meaning it's not to likely that devs will want to continue this especially as they don't need MS's quick cash to finish other projects.

I mean I know some people don't have problems with MS doing it but it is a business practice I do not think is right. Wish they would crack down on that. One of the most important things to a capitalist system is competition and using this to ultimately make competition not have a chance is just not right.

Sega and Nintendo were self sufficient. This is why Sega went down with pride. Sega had the diverse games and Nintendo had the creative games with mainly platform and adventure. Segas biggest downfall was because they refused certain important 3rd party titles. Nintendo and Sega complimented each other where the other lacked. Sony cannot hold a candle to Segas developing. Please. It was Nintendo, Sega, then the corporations. Dude...you're saying that Microsoft hasn't come up with games on their own? I guess you're not privy to Microsoft Gaming Studios pumping out all of the simulators on PC. Sony was the one who was shoring up developers first. Microsoft followed Sonys lead. The more Microsoft understanding the gaming industry the more they will try to overshadow Sony. The best Nintendo can do today is to focus on making interesting games and ways to play games. All Microsoft and Sony can do is watch in awe while bashing each other over the head. I don't even want the Wii and am getting PS3 while having a 360 and I know this and am willing to admit this.

 Microsoft is like Sony....a multibillion dollar coporation that came out of nowhere to pervert and monopolize the gaming industry. They both are the reason for the death of arcades in the US.

Sony hasn't moved along at all. They are in denial. The only system that has moved along is the Nintendo Wii. Microsoft already amitted this truth, which is why you can complain much about them as far as their grip on reality. It's Sony who has yet to admit reality that they cannot beat Nintendo this gen.

Yeah shame on Microsft for trying to bring games to their user base that get shoved in their faces by Sony fanboys for being exclusive. How dare Microsoft try to secure a solid well known title for their system instead of letting it be an exclusive for a competitor? ::facepalm::

Please...Microsoft has just as many monopolistic intentions for the gaming industry as Sony did. They are just giving them competition that Nintendo never cared to give and Sega couldn't. You need to respect the fact that if it wasn't for Microsoft, Sony would've monopolized the gaming industry. They both have perverted and destroyed the moral fabric of the gaming indstury.

@OP

These are 3RD PARTIES not sony's devs. why do you care anyway, you can still play tekken 6 if you want

Sony paid for exclusives during the PS2 era and for timed exclusivity as well. They also did it during the PS era as well. They've realized that they're losing too much money on the PS3 and cannot, so they are ignoring the losses of 3rd party and focusing on 1st party. Keep thinking that what you will about Sony, but they are stubborn and proud company that is still in denial about whether Nintendo is winning and will win at the end of the gen. Thats how much Microsoft has made them lose their minds.

you're funny. you give a viable reason why sony doesn't pay for exclusives this gen and assault them for it at the same time. are they supposed to get the money from your bank account lol. 3 bln in losses changes a corporation a whole lot. sony has changed, we better all get used to the new strategy and stop the rants.

stage,
that was when they had money, and this is now. I love how people say two different things are the same to make a point.
No, sony never did pay for exclusives. They funded production.
Being an exclusive is actually a bonus for a company, but that depends on several factors, whether you believe it or not. Being exclusive to the ps3 right now is tough, because there is not much of a base.
A large portion of exclusives end up becoming big. One reason is that exclusive games get A LOT of hype.
