[QUOTE="woody_88_"]after dumping all that marketing money in CGI trailers, Sony has hardly any left to invest in exclusives...mikeslemonade
After all the success of the 360, MS still has made money out of the xbox yet anyway. That $50 mil for GTA4 episodes is another stupid purchase. Downloadable content that I have to pay for anyway is not a selling point. $50 mil can be funded into 5 full next gen games instead of just DL content for one game. Sony's biggest lost is the cost of the PS3 and the lawsuits.
Take two will pay back MS if MS don`t make money of it, actually MS are guaranteed not to loose money...stupid?
Let me get this straight, u will pay for content as long as is not downloadable, makes sence.
Well as long as the game is good on all platforms, that's good to hear.
But I don't know about the link, I never heard anything about Brothers in Arms coming out in November either.
Credible such as... Joystic? Last time I checked, they are one of the leading news websites.sounds like BS to me. As soon as i see it on other"key word" CREDIBLE sites then i'll believe it.
true or not, it wasn't exclusive in the first place. Ubi is inMS's back pocket soi wouldn't be surprised if it's true,as of now, it'sBS.

[QUOTE="SStignei"][QUOTE="814StopsToday"]Why is it that so many developers are saying it's not financially beneficial to relase titles on only a single platform when the PS3 is involved, and yet it's fine for the 360, do these people understand the financial mumbo jumbo they spout off at all?

What third party games are exclusive to 360 ?
other than kill.Switch 2, nothing really
Lost Planet
I'm still going to get the PS3 version anyway. And the DLC of GTA will be overpriced.
heyheydoh
Spoken like a true level 1 that doesn't know anything yet.
[QUOTE="hugeben"]Wait... Y do you all care about how long it stays exclusive... for bragging rights? Its coming out on PS3 so what does it matter to you if it comes out on 360 also?? Pretty rediculous if you ask me.SStignei
^Agree.
i dont think so..( imo) it does matter......ps3 needs more exclusives now to help the sales ...after losing dmc4 exclusive and others..

DR,LP,SC:C,Bioshock,and load more if you care to look it up
Whatcha gonna do.... Ms probably threw $50 mill at Ubisoft. Just like they probably threw $50 million at Capcom. No wonder they can't turn a profit. Its raining money in $50 mill clumps. hahahTOSgamer10They also threw $50 million at Rockstar for exclusive GTA IV downloadable content.

Wow. You seem to be the one that doesn't understand "financial mumbo jumbo" as you call it. We call it "Economics". You see, the 360has already soldabout 10 million units and proved itself worth the effort. However, the PS3 was released a year behind the 360 and has sold less than 4 million units. Why make an exclusive for a console you're not going to make money on? If they knew that their game would be a huge console seller and wanted to see the PS3 come out on topthen, yeah, they would make an exclusive. However, if you want to make money, you deliver your product to the widest audience of people possible, which is evidenced by the Wii, which is already approaching the same amount of units sold as the 360. This time next year when the PS3 and 360 have similar sales, you'll see more exclusives because more developers will have a reason to invest in the power of the PS3.
the ps3 has sold over 5 million now. dont go by that nexgenwars crap, its not correct, they had a post on this site a long time ago about the true sales of the ps3 and it had over 4mil when nexgenwars said about 3.5mil. and recently it sold over 1 mil in the PAL regions just after 10 weeks of being on shelves.
Because the PS3 right now is expensive and the 360 has had more time to be on the market. So, it's a process. But as time goes on this will be less a factor. Not everyone reads the forums and Ubisoft and Take2 will still sell a ton of games to both platform. So, they can afford to put out crappy ports. But lets hope that the Haze version is good like the Oblivion version.Why is it that so many developers are saying it's not financially beneficial to relase titles on only a single platform when the PS3 is involved, and yet it's fine for the 360, do these people understand the financial mumbo jumbo they spout off at all?

So much for the PS3 being the lead platform. :roll:DanC1989No the issue with that is porting the code. Not the release schedule.

What are you? A financial analyst?
Dont answer that. Obviously you are not...but you think you are. ITs simple math really. The 360 has NEARLY THREE TIMES the install base of the PS3, with promise to grow. If that alone doesnt answer the question for you then maybe you need to forget about the whole financial analyst thing for a while and take some refresher classes in grade school. :)

When the PS3 picks up momentum it will be them saying its harder to develop for the 360
[QUOTE="Genrihhh"]wait maybe we will see halo on PS3 in some mounthsLobaFett
not gonna happen microsoft owns bungie and halo ip, as microsofts unofficial spokes person we will be willing to let sony borrow halo if we can borrow mgs, fair trade off both ips sell systems.
I don't think you know what you are talking about. Halo sells much more then MGS even if MGS is a better game.
I am a little disappointed as I thought Haze looked like a good game, and one that I could brag to my 360 friends about owning. Now I will have to wait a week and see which version is better. (I was hoping to add to my PS3 library, but I refuse to buy the inferior version. I still hope the PS3 one is better though)
