if they do port it to PS3, then i will sell my 360. there would just be no point holding onto a shooter infested console

I hope not... What ever happened to 3rd party exclusives???

More reasons to own more than 1 platform is always a good thing.

Are you not being a tad bit contradicting in this? Me along with you and others have been victim of the 'exclusives going multiplat but glad because now a larger audience has a chance to view it and enjoy such a great game' type of deal. So if Mass Effect were to eventually make its way onto the ps3 then would this not be the same case? Although EA of course just wants to make more profit and is not seeing it as that, but ultimately it would be a win win situation both for the Company and for the Gamers.

I bet if it were the other way around, you'd be all "I'd be happy as then the userbase of another console could also enjoy such a brilliant game".

Sometimes you over-compensate with your posting style on here.

Also on the note of multiplats shaping each console to its own identity, I agree with you 100%. But as a console maker should you not also have internal studios were you can make these titles to further sales of your console? 1st party support to me is the best way to make your console stand out, not 3rd party exclusives. With the success of your games, and the success of your consoles, 3rd party exclusives can follow. But it starts within.

You're absolutely right. Exclusive titles are the best games available to us. When a multiplatform comes out it has to be compromised in some form in order to be the same on both consoles.

There was also an article on how there was some sleight-of-hand to get that game multi-platform...but even with that said, M$ had publishing rights to the trilogy of ME games...we know that for a fact.  EA's purchase of Bioware would have had very little effect on that agreement...sorry, but I'm not sure how that would make sense otherwise…Sony owns the rights to make Spider-Man movies from Marvel (Disney) and Paramount owns distributor rights for Iron Man movies.  Those are both VERY lucrative agreements, and I’m sure Disney would LOVE to get them back and keep all that money in house, but it’s not going to happen.  Back to Mass Effect, the sag estimate of what the publisher stands to rake off ME2 is $50-60 million…so you’ll think M$ just voluntarily returned those publisher rights to EA?  The key here for EA is this…do they want to chance a guaranteed $50-60 million and go multiplatform?  I think if you look at the moves by EA wrt to Dante’s Inferno and BF2…PS3 is there platform of choice…or maybe it’s just payback for M$ not budging on the ME2 franchise…

Why not if they're not first-party? And more reason to be multiplat with PS3 when the game is already multiplat (with PC)...it doesn't make any sense for third-parties to stay exclusive to a console. You want games to distinguish a console? That's what first-parties are for.

i'd like the game to come to ps3 because some ps3 exclusives have gone to the 360. however, I really think if you want this game you should just go out and get a 360, or upgrade your pc in order to play it. You really shouldn't wait on the hope that it may come to the ps3, otherwise you may be depriving yourself a really good game.
