Sony gave up GTA timed exclusive for this one. Yeah it might come to the 360 or more likely, the 720. A lot of wheeling and dealing went on behind the scenes this generation, a lot of it happened before either a PS3 or 360 had ever been sold. For the beginning of this generation you saw a lot of Microsoft "stealing" from the PS brand. When you see Agent exclusive on PS3 you realise, that it's not Sony who is still playing catchup. It's Microsoft. With dying tech at a bargain bin prices Microsoft's console experiment is running out of gas.

Your bias really shines through. Microsoft is playing catching up while Sony continues to lose money and is in the process of restructuring itself?

Yes, your post makes so much sense that it makes none at all.

It's amazing the gains the Xbox has made on the Playstation brand considering the scenario last generation.

Microsoft's little console experiment seems to have the Playstation 3 in third place.

Holy sweat! I just discovered how to travel back in time to 2007. Sorry mac at half the price 360 is outselling the PS3 by what? 10 k? If that. Look again your biggest racer shipping on 2 disks? RROD is still a problem? How about this. we can make a sig bet on this fact: a $299 PS3 will outsell the 360 at its current prices every single month. You willing to take that bet? You think there's any chance at all 360 would come out on top with a $200 arcade? Lol they could bundle a bundle of crack and would still lose.

1) Every 360 model is not half the price of the Playstation 3. I figured there would no longer be attempts to use this false assumption as logic any longer. I guess I overestimated the Sony fanboy

2) I am not really sure how anything you posted has anything to do with playstation being in a distant third place considering the unquestionable dominance of the PS2 last generation. You also failed to address Sony's financial instability and restructuring. Maybe Sony needs to catch up on profitability.

3) I see you are also still holding on to the RROD fiasco. The rest of the world is moving on and the 360 is still outselling the PS3. You should move on too. I am sure Microsoft has. (I am not justifying the RROD, it should have never happened in the first place. However, Sony fanboys need to let go)

4) I'm glad that in your bizarro world (Sony fanboy land), you believe that Microsoft will allow Sony to execute a price cut without altering its own price strategy. Whenever Sony is ready to make a price cut, I am pretty confident Microsoft will be able to also...and will still be more financially sound than Sony.

I'm not a fanboy, I just try to tip the balance in favor of logic and common sense.

Everyone who has ever challenged statements I've made about exclusivity actually being good for titles should read this thread.

Lol and not every model of the PS3 is $400 some of them are 5. Love how the bots have been adding an extra controller and a year of XBL into the intitial cost. Failhard. 

2) I am not really sure how anything you posted has anything to do with playstation being in a distant third place considering the unquestionable dominance of the PS2 last generation.

Look at the difference in market cap between MS and Sony. It's not impressive that the 360 is doing ho hum ok vs PS 3, but only highlights the massive fail that was the original X-Box.

3) I see you are also still holding on to the RROD fiasco. The rest of the world is moving on and the 360 is still outselling the PS3. You should move on too. I am sure Microsoft has.

The new Jaspers are still getting the RROD. Oh no they call it E74 noaw. Or dvd drive failure.

They might be more finanacially sound then Sony. But the last time their market cap was as low as it is now, Titanic was number 1 in the box office and the spice girls topped the charts. only 9 billion more in profit to go before they break even on the Xbox brand let's dance!

It obviously will not go multiplat

Must be because the devs are lazy, right?  I mean, isn't that the only reason L4D2 isn't going to be on PS3?

Hopefully now fanboys will realize how ridiculous it sounds using that claim as their default reaction to news of 360 getting exclusives.

LOL! This comment is just laughable.

 

It won't go multiplat because Sony and R* made an agreement on AGENT being exclusive. It has nothing to do with R* not wanting to port it or figure out the 360 hardware. They already made quite a few games on the 360 by the way.

 

Good reasoning though! I can see you're a very intelligent human! heh heh

I think this post more than proves you are just a Sony fanboy. Let me just make a few quick points....

1) No matter how you spin it. The average price of the available 360 models is not half the average price of the available PS3 models.

2) Everyone expected the Playstation 3 to completely obliterate the competition once it launched, because of the Playstation brands amazing performance last gen. The Xbox 360 is surpassing expectations and manages to shift more software than the PS3.

3) Again, I am not justifying hardware inconsistencies, but the 360 is still outselling the PS3. No matter how you gift wrap it.

4) LOL Again, no matter how you spin it, Microsoft is still more financially sound than Sony and always will be. It's funny, Microsoft is a very healthy company especially considering the global economy and you are attempting to make a mockary of it? Then what does that say about Sony?

5) You are giving yourself and Sony fanboys alike a bad look. At least make an attempt to make some sense.

Which is the same reason L4D2 won't appear on the PS3.

If EA really wanted it, they'd port it over like they did the Orange Box. I agree with what you're saying though infamous8, it's the agreement that will keep this game exclusive. But at the same time, De85 is right in that it's funny (or rather not funny) that when Sony gets an exclusive, it's an agreement out of good will, where as when MS gets an exclusive, it must have been moneyhatted.

cant wait to see the trailer for this

If you wanna be my luvah! MS just laid of 17% of its workforce. People said the Titanic couldn't sink. That Lehman Bros couldn't go bankrupt. Milo, Vista Zune, X-Box. When your boat starts taking on that much water (fail) you might want to tone down the arrogance.



For you. ;D

Oh and you're throwing around the word "fanboy" pretty liberally. The PS3 is the only Sony console I've ever owned. Plus I have a 360 and a Wii. My opinions are objective, you're just spewing lies.
