The latest Official Xbox Mag has a whopping great preview of Ace Combat 6 for the 360, and also the not-very-unexpected-at-all-really news that it's exclusive for the 360. Well...it's a timed exclusive. I'm of the opinion that a timed exclusive isn't really an exclusive at all, but then I'm also of the opinion a man can wear sandals and socks if the weather permits, so make of that what you will.

In the end, while the 360 version gets all the glory in first place, both consoles get Ace Combat 6, Namco makes twice as much money, everyone's happy.

Wasn't this a PS3 exclusive first? Now it is a 360 timed exclusive? Wow. Hope both games are comparable.

I have no problem with the 360 getting this game but the timed exclusivity does kinda rub me the wrong way because the playstatiuon brand has been the beginning of the series and the series fanbase has grown on the playstation brand . It only makes sense profit wise for namco to bring it to both but the timed exclsuive  part kinda sucks, all I have to say is they should throw in some extra content for the PS fans if they are going to make them wait for it seeing as they are the ones who have bought the series traditionally.

I was wondering why it was exclsuive to the 360. It didn't make any sense after releasing 6 games on Sony systems to just go to another platform. Their fans all own PS3s, not 360s. This now makes sense to me. A timed exclusive makes much more sense.

I wouldn't be surprised if the timed exclusive was a result of waiting for the installed base to catch up on ps3. 360 has a much larger install base at the moment, so is being afforded a few luxuries

They probably used focus groups and determined it would appeal to the 360 fanbase.

Well.. When the PS Fans actually start buying the PS3..

 

Yea it can Rub you the wrong way, but if we look at it for what it is. This is really Sonys fault that they are not keeping exclusives.

Im not even sure about the whole time exclusive thing on the xbox, but I can see it from a point of view that there are more 360's out and games do tend to sell very well for some reason with the high attach rate for games per console. But it still does not explain a timed exclusive. So it can be one of three things.

1) MS bought the timed exclusive.

2)The devs are having a hard time with the PS3.

3) The Devs want to make a better version for the PS3.

 

Also since your a Ace Combat fan. Which countries does this game sell well in. That could also shed some light on this.

You are right almost every games franchise starts with the Playstation brand ..All i know that xboxfanboys should be happy their getting some of our games.. I am not suprise that its time exclusive and im sure they are planning to use the motion sensing in the PS3 version..Most likely they will throw some extra content to get our attention.

Yeah and it will be free too.. 

and so a ps3 "fact" is created:  AC6 will have free online play on the PSN.. with 1,000 planes on screen at once...all under the waatchful, all-seeing, eye of TEH CELL...

:roll:

wait until you actually get an online game before hyping it;  don't forget how stupid GT4 made you cows look...:lol:
