I really meant paying for exclusives and multiplatform titles, I meant to say titles are being lost. That's a bit irrational to think that Sony do not need to pay for exclusives in the first place. Yes they have their in-house development studios, but losing exclusivity on titles or not getting titles while other consoles are is a shot in the nuts no matter what way you look at it. They will lose console sales on titles not coming to their system, or titles going to other systems like possibly Call of Duty, and so on.Jumplion said:
FF13 on the 360 will most probably break a mil and a half, easily. No name RPG titles have hit close to a million on the 360, so there's no doubt that FF13 on the 360 will most certainly hit a million sales guaranteed, especially from FF fans that were planning to buy the PS3 for FFXIII (I know, or knew quite a few of them). Yes PS3s will still move, but nowhere near as many as the title being exclusive would have moved.Jumplion said:
Besides Heavy Rain being in brass tracks since the birth of the PS3 (and really most probably because Quantic Dream wanted to work the hardware to the bone, that game better be awesome):bue519 said:
Even though he is refferring to console exclusives, I think if conviction supports windows then maybe it is microsoft exclusive.bue519 said:

I think your missing the point. I was merely highlighting the fact there are a large amount of exclusives that are coming out on the PS3, whereas the 360 can really only manage to get 2 platform releases. I mean cmon the Wii now has more exclusives that I actually want to play. Now that is just sad.ChromeAlchemist said:
Now if you are telling me that I am missing the point, then this must mean that you are missing my point. My point was that if Sony don't start making enough profit, then they won't be able to write enough cheques to surpass the amount of console exclusives that the 360 has and is still getting.bue519 said:
Yep PSP had an exclusive Splinter Cell game. Came out before DA but it was kind of like a best of game. Mix of the first 3 and i think 2 levels from DA and its own exclusive level set before Fisher was in the NSA surving with the seals in the jungle.Megacherv said:
And so was Resident Evil 4 and Killer 7, what's your point and how do I get to it?Indigo_Dingo said:
Eh, I'd say it's more because Ubisoft is lazy (though I don't blame them in the slightest) and doesn't feel like porting it to the PS3 because the it is a ***** to program for.NoMoreSanity said:
While I have no doubt that Microsoft paid Ubisoft some money for the exclusivity, I doubt that's the sole factor in this decision. Odds are that the other versions just weren't moving as many copies as Ubi liked, so they decided to take Microsoft's offer and hype their game up to exclusive status, which will ensure a lot of press.Jumplion said:
Oi. That's an opinion, and opinion != fact. Personally, I own a 360, and I'm goddamn fascinated by the idea, as are all my friends.
What? Whoever said that it was going to be a 360 exclusive? And how is it any less cool than the FFXIII announcement?
You say that like a curse word. What was so bad about the Gamecube? I liked the little cuboid.Indigo_Dingo said:

Well, of course it wasn't the sole factor, but it was probably the main factor.

Well.....DUH, at least the "it's not as big of a hit as you'd think" part. But really, I hardly see any 360 owners give two shits about FXIII or MGS
What? Whoever said that it was going to be a 360 exclusive? And how is it any less cool than the FFXIII announcement?
Microsoft definately made it seem as though the new MGS would be exclusive and seem like a "blow" to Sony, especially the fact where earlier they said "Everything from now on here is exclusive to 360".
Before, Microsoft showed off a trailer of FFXIII complete with opera music and 'splosions, they brought the Squee-nix president onboard and he "happily" announced FFXIII going to 360, and everyone in the world screaming at once.
With this, they showed off a picture of Raiden's face with the title "Metal Gear Solid: Rising [sup]Lighning Bolt Action[/sup] " and nothing else, no trailer or screenshot or gameplay footage, nothing, they brought Kojima on stage who A)Didn't seem to care much and B)Dwarfed that announcment with a better announcmnet for MGSeacwalker (with a trailer and gameplay no less) and the fact that he's more involved with Peacewalker than with Rising, and they had a guy smugly saying "Yeah, now we have everything!" when they don't.
Not to mention the fact that because of Konami's teaser site, everyone was expecting something.
So FFXIII going to 360 type? Hell no.
Whats wrong with the online that needs fixing? Whats wrong with buying exclusives?Pendragon9 said:
You see one thing, I see another. Perhaps I shall construct a poll thread to figure out the truth behind the matter (at least on the Escapist).Jumplion said:
An understandable mistake. I however assumed that only applied to the games immediately following that headline. A lot of people went and jumped the gun for absolutely no reason, acting as if Kojima had lost his mind because he had branched out, which irks me.
They did that because the game is probably still in the stages of early development, Kojima seemed the same to me at both the Microsoft and Sony conferences, the dwarfing bit is your opinion, and of course we were all expecting something: but we weren't expecting this.

I don't undahstand da words comin' outta yo mouf, to semi-quote Rush Hour 3.
This is such bullshit, the game has a PC port, you can't get more hardware diverse than that. Why can't companies just be straight with consumers? Say it out right "MS gave us a shitload of money, fuck off Playstation owners."Malygris said:
