Okay... still makes no sense. MS paid 50 million dollar for exclusive DLC for GTA IV. So what do you expect how much an exclusive game like Resident Evil might cost?

Resident Evil has a good chance to sell more than 2 million units on the Xbox360. Money that capcom want to receive. So if Sony wants to have RE5 exclusive, they need to pay the missed profit capcom would have made with a Xbox360-version + a bonus of course. That is a lot of money, too. For ONE game. One game won't change the outcome of the console-battle.

It is much easier to make exclusives multiplat than making multiplats exclusive.

I second this :?

And you think Sony can compete with M$ and Ninty in a cash battle? 

Every week there's something that makes me wonder whether IGN can sink any lower.
IGN's (Industry Consultancy Gods) super advice to Sony (Bunch of amateurs): "Just spend sh*tloads of money on exclusives and a pricedrop! Do it! We'll promise you you'll be back on top in no time!"

Yeah right, not been following the news I guess.
Oh stupid me, IGN makes the news. There're no losses for Sony and they don't have to fire people. Duh.

Yeah i wonder about it too :)

That makes it sound as if the PS3 is failing horribly. Which it isn't. Sales could be way better, yes, but it's not like the console's dying or anything. Also, I'd assumed it'd be common knowledge by now that one or more great games don't really change a whole lot. Just take a look at the long list of games that were supposed to help the PS3 take the lead and beat the competition. They all failed to make as much impact as some people hoped. It's pretty clear by now that PS3 will never be first this generation, and it'll have to put up a huge fight to even come second.

Whats wrong the PS3? Is it failing somehow?

Most of IGN's editorials are a joke (but then that's the same with most websites) but they write the best reviews in the industry, so I still like them.

And the PS3 isn't failing, but it is coming in third right now, and I don't think Sony is too happy about that.

How do you know they didn't lay off all of these people SO they could cut the price of the PS3 and buy exclusives?

O.o

Sony CEO : Its all gone tits up. I shall ask the mighty CELL for help.

CELL : I have the answer.

Sony CEO : Yes

CELL : Your not going to like it

Sony CEO : Tell me

CELL : Your really not going to like it.

Sony CEO : For Gods sake tell me !

CELL : Cut 8000 jobs and discontinue the PS3 immediately.

Sony CEO : Now thats what I call cold logic.

Corrected, thanks.
