Yeah I cocked that up. I thought Remedy were a 1st party devlopment group for Microsoft like Lionhead Studios but I just looked into it and they are not. Microsoft however has personally funded most of the development and provided them with lots of support so yeah this won't be coming to Playstation 3. Remedy still owns the IP but they themselves said that they won't be making a Playstation 3 version and that the game is heavily optimised for the Xbox 360 and the PC architecture anyway.

Personally I think its only fair, Playstation 3 has Heavy Rain and Xbox 360 has Alan Wake. Both are shaping up to be awesome.
