Ohhh... God....

Lawlz.

i seriously think that there will be wii version this time

IF this title is a timed exclusive a lot of people are going to owe me apologies.

On the other hand if it's on the PS3 day one, I will have to eat the biggest crow known to man.

Well, it's clear from other titles that a late release due to timed exclusive costs you sales and negative brand loyalty - particularly when you launch full price on one console with the title already a budget title on another.

They did first tease number 2 on the PS3 version and would appear in a position to develop for both platforms now.

They are slow to confirm platforms.


I surmise they intend a simultaneous release but MS are trying to woo them to go timed exclusive again, hence the current delay on confirming platforms.

Personally I think they'd be mad to go timed again. A quick review of the sales (in ratio) to install base for most decent multiplatform games shows they stand to lose many, many sales on PS3 going that route.

I know MS can give them enough money to counter that, but the loss of brand loyalty to PS3 owners is now not worth that approach IMHO. Globally there are now too many PS3s and multiplatform games sell too well on PS3 now.

I don't think that really holds up in this situation.  The "brand loyalty" for Bioshock went out the window the first time, at which point the tiemd exclusive nature of the game didn't matter because there were next too no PS3 owners.  We truly have no idea what sort of demand there is for a PS3 version of Bioshock 2.  Unless you are implying that any significant number of consumers would avoid OTHER Take Two franchises because of a timed exclusive Bioshock 2, which I feel is ridiculous.

If people want to play a great game, very few will avoid playing it because the company once made another game timed exclusive.

Tthe next issue of OPM Australia has a feature article on Bioshock 2, would be pretty stupid to do a feature article on a game thats not coming out on their system.... won't argue on time exclusivity but there is no way this game is a 360/PC exclusive.

Defiantly needs to be a PS3/360/PC simultaneous release. Both Bioshock versions will see a boost in sales once time comes closer to release and possibly the PS3 version even more.

I actually hope for that, but i really doubt that there going to be a Wii version. Anyway i am getting it for the PS3

I don't see why rockstar is related, but it's because the game was sent out on the ps3 when it was already below half price on other systems. No one is going to buy it at full price then lol.
