October 16, 2009 - A story from earlier this morning from the website Polygamia reported Jay Watamaniuk, BioWare's community manager, had stated there's a good chance we'll see Mass Effect 2 on PlayStation 3 during a presentation in Poland.

"During the presentation, Watamaniuk mentioned three platforms that Mass Effect 2 is targeted at. They were Xbox 360, PC and "probably PS3". After a while, realizing what he said, he started to back out, saying that they do not comment on rumors and speculations,' the report said.

IGN contacted Electronic Arts for a comment and was directed to an updated forum post by Watamaniuk on BioWare's website. Watamaniuk clarified his comments saying it was all "a misunderstanding."

"There is a report circulating today based on an appearance I made in Poland yesterday. Seems there was a misunderstanding about ME2 coming to PS3." he wrote.

"Let me clarify today: ME2 is coming to PC and X360 only."

This is the second time this week speculation of a PS3 version may be on its way.

New listings on both Electronic Arts' Russian website and Australian retailer GAME had Mass Effect 2 coming to PlayStation 3. EA would eventually comment saying: "The postings on those website are false and are being corrected."

BioWare and Electronic Arts have been quick to cover up any talk of a PlayStation 3 port. Do you think this will stay exclusive to PC and Xbox 360?

I guess thats it.

Well Duh...

Seems like someone said something they shouldn't have and is getting burned for it lol

Of course they're going to issue a statement like this, but I do see Xbox have a timed exclusive deal if it does get ported to the PS3. ME2 should do 1.5mil on PS3. I know it would be a buy for me.

i think there covering a port up.

It's a timed exclusive. They're never going to say right off the bat that it's coming out on the other system later. It's Business 101. They want everyone to go out and buy it on the 360. Then add some extra features and content to the PS3 version, and possibly have ppl who previously owned the game on the 360 to buy the game again for the bonus features. That's how you maximize profit.

That is the same strategy that's used on almost every timed-exclusive game - ToV, Lost Planet, Eternal Sonata, Star Ocean 4, to name a few.

I think the guy just wanted some fame so he let out a little misinformation to confuse the fanboys. Either that or he just wanted to say it in a sarcastic fashion to mock the PS3 fanboys and the quote was taken the wrong way.

It's okay. Everyone has a beefed up PC and will be playing Mass Effect 2 anyway. That's what I'm told, at least.

You forgot bioshock.

Exactly. That may work for the JRPGs, but considering the prequel is not on the PS3, and it wouldn't be coming out at the same time as the other versions, the game wouldn't do that well at all.
