So in other words, Microsoft wants me to buy a PS3? Well, alright then. I'll just give money to your competitor instead of you.

Ohh there's a bad gamble. With the way DRM and other services *cough* http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/7.308968-Internet-Explodes-Over-Origins-Invasion-of-Privacy *cough* are going these days, people, players and developers alike, are dropping the PC like a sack of hot rocks. The few that don't generally just give you a half-hearted port that's swimming in DRM.GonzoGamer said:
I love my PC, don't get me wrong, but outside of MMOs, using it as a surrogate SNES, and the occasional indie game off Steam, I hardly ever use it to game on.
i completly agree with you on this finally someone who shares the same opinion on ratchet and clankTimeLord said:
A game on any platform should have the same content as the rest. I'm looking at you PS3 version of Arkham Asylum.
I think that exclusives should stay on their systems, and that third party games need to be for everyone.

Isn't this the exact crap that gets dishes out to PS3 owners?
We have to wait months to get content when XBOX gets it first.
Kind of a douchey move ther Microsoft, way to screw over your customers as well as game designers.
Plus the whole petty childness competition you got going there.

How can MS get any games from Sony when the PS3 has no games?
In all seriousness though I find this simply stupid, I HATE how games being made have more content for some consoles than others (IE PS3s ME2... in fact it mostly happens with PS3 *cough*LA Noire *cough*) and I cannot stand this war for the better system (system side all PS3 has over Xbox is the blue ray. Xbox has the better motion activity, kinect. Can we stop this now?) imo xbox is more fun simply due to exclusives and the controller, but that doesn't mean I don't play the PS3 when I have the option to. They need to cool it with this thing and release games for xbox and stop trying to out due Sony when they both are equally beating Nintendo and its 49 out of 50 games being gimmicky and casual.

That seems rather cheeky of Microsoft. It's like they're saying, "It doesn't matter that we deny our customers great games for petty and childish reasons, because our console is obviously the best thing in the universe, no matter how many games we refuse to put on it."
I think that is the sole reason I have never touched an Xbox. Now I'm going to continue praying to the RNG god that they will re-release the PS2 Ratchet and Clank games in HD (while not becoming fluffy) next. Why the RNG god? because I used to play WoW, and that is the only god I know of to pray to.TimeLord said:
"Titles for Xbox 360 must ship at least simultaneously with other video game platform, and must have at least feature and content parity on-disc with the other video game platform versions in all regions where the title is available. If these conditions are not met, Microsoft reserves the right to not allow the content to be released on Xbox 360."
Oh yea, because Microsoft is so good at making games and content having a simultaneously. They still got that stupid CoD DLC time exclusive thing, as well with a few other games and DLC, and now they say if Sony does that, they won't release some games? Stupid

I dunno. On the one hand, as far as PSN/XBLA titles go, I don't think Microsoft is missing anything. There are only a handful of completely PSN exclusive small scale titles that don't suck, and most of them either require Playstation Move or are IPs owned by Sony anyway. Basically, Microsoft is saying "We don't want crap like Flower or Joe Danger" and honestly, after trying those games out, I don't blame them.
On the other hand, it still seems really childish. Sure, they make it sound all reasonable and mature, but it's still just about down there with EA's constant flaming of Modern Warfare 3 on the maturity scale.

I look through the comments, and there seems to be a general consensus that this a bad thing- or to be more precise - an idiotic thing on Microsoft's part. And I have to wholeheartedly agree. I'm not an Xbox fanboy or only loyal to Microsoft - far from it, I honestly don't care who the console is made by. I simply have a 360 because the console, and the games, are cheaper than their PS3 counterparts.
Saying all this, is anyone really surprised? I thought that it had been obvious from the get-go that both consoles would release console specific games. I congratulated Sony on getting Mass Effect 2 to the PS3 but I think that's the one exception I've ever seen to this rule. Yes, it's petty, but then it was petty when they did it on the xbox and PS2 consoles (albeit to a lesser degree, but nonetheless) and I find this to be nothing more than a stating of the status quo. Basically put: "Oh well".

Well, business is business and it's working for Microsoft so it makes perfect sense to continue with it.
Even though they say it's good for everyone, it isn't. It's nothing more than being a hypocrite: "If a version is better on the PS3, we don't want it. But if it's not better on the 360, we don't want it either. It's better for the gamers." How is it better for the gamers if it hurts those who have only the money to buy one console and have picked their console based on the fact that they like Sony's exclusives more than they like Microsoft's?
M$ needs to stop their BS.

wait i thought xbox was getting mgs4. maybe i heard wrong.
in any case, this seems like kind of a dick move. i know you can afford to wipe your ass with thousand dollar bills, but some of us can only afford one console. dont screw over gamers just because youre too proud

So... they'd favor licensing no content over licensing potentially "sub-par" content?
Yes, that is a legitimate way to make money...
Somewhere. Have they been consulting with the underpants gnomes? Oh, this is Microsoft, so no, they actually trained the underpants gnomes.
