Confirmed! Ghostbusters time-exclusive to Sony. (EU Only)

Grow up people, they own the ip rights to Ghostbusters. If they wanted to, they could can all non-PS versions of the game but they aren't, are they? They're trying to maximise their profits from the PS2/PS3/PSP sales, and then sit back and get licensing fees from the 360 and Wii versions. I'm only surprised this wasn't done earlier... God knows Ms would have done so.

I don't hide from the truth. Yes I dislike my PS3. I dislike just about all my PS3 games I bought except for KZ2. I don't like Sony's business practices. I thought they were getting better... But after pulling something like this. I think I lost even more faith that maybe one day they could be better.

My arguments make sense. Yours do not. I try to be as unbiased as I can be. But this news just irks me.

They are pretty much monopolizing others just like how M$ did before you know, so pretty much its both.

Apparently , the playstation exclusivity is only for Europe and PAL territories. So it's probably still day and date in NA.

[QUOTE="freeloader_101"][QUOTE="Nike_Air"]This game had a lot of interest and buzz before today. Its been discussed in System Wars quite a bit , and its a multiplat game.

Now they'll just be more damage control for non-ps3 owners and more posts from ps3 owners. That is to be expected , this is SW afterall.

Sony exclusive after all that time? If this is true, then lemmings = OWNED. If fake then TC = owned.Messiahbolical-

[QUOTE="freeloader_101"] Being discussed is one thing and being hyped is another.And if a game is hyped than people consider it,for example games like Velvet Assassin has also been discussed in SW.Does that make it a hyped game ? Or games like flower have also been discussed,does that make people consider it ? Now you`ill see what i am talking about,after every 2-3 days there will be a topic on this game,like new gameplay footage or new ghost buster trailer. Sam like how Lost Planet 2 was discussed after it was confirmed Xbox 360 time exclusive.freeloader_101

I can wait.

They didn't "steal" anything. They are publishing the game, in EU, for a time (the game will indeed be released on the 360, just later). You are making huge deal for such a small issue.IronBass

But Sony is evil. They're not allowed to make any good business moves because it's not honorable.

are you sure about that?

You need to read the article. They already announced the games for the 360 but they did not have the PS3 version in production. Because they didn't have plans at the time to make that version.

MS approched them about making it a timed exclusive. They capitalized on that because they didn't have plans at the times for a PS3 version.

So say what you want. Doesn't change the fact that 360 version was in dev and wasonly announced for 360 at the time.

You guys are so funnymicrosoft was who started this game and they are still playing it, with exclusive dlc for multiplatform games timed exclusive games that they announced as exclusives in the box of the game even though the games are only timed exclusives and closing contracts with the company producing the game to skip that the game will go to other platforms making people buy the x360 thinking that the game will remain exclusive etc,etc,etc and nowthat you guys experienced only a drop of that samepoison that microsoft is accustomed to use, you guys come with this that sony is playing dirty, this is funny too funny, but wellthis is sistems wars

I'm not in the EU.

It's a licensed game.

I'm in the US.

Hmm, doesn't sound too exclusive or worthy to me, but I'll be getting it as a Ghostbusters fanboy.

How can anyone be owned, when does get the game anyway and frankly this seems like one of those games that noone touches and try to stay like a million miles away

I see this doing more damage to Sony than anything else. People in EU are going to see Sony as screwing them out of the game, for a few months, because US is still getting it on time. Sony is just trying more, and more to copy what MS does, and they can never seem to do it right..MortalDecay

Or..y'know most people who own just a PS3 or a PS3/whatever other console, will just buy the version that comes out first. :roll:

Some of you people are just taking this way to personally. What is Sony? A brother? Father? Neither. They are a company, a business - just like Nintendo, Microsoft, Dell, Apple, Honda, Nissan, Toyota, Holden, Ford, Canon, Logitech. They are all good businesses, because of events like this. They aren't here to hold your hand and to play Halo against you. Any other company would do the same if they were smart enough, which they are. Why don't any of you get mad at Microsoft for getting Devil May Cry on the Xbox 360? It's not STEALING its business and as someone else has said, if you don't like the way the world works, then i guess your either just to young or you believe that it's a nice fairytale where the good guy wins, unfortunetly the world isn't split between white and black its all a shade of grey, there isn't a bad guy or good guy, there is just business (atleast when it comes to this topic and arguement).

SO DEAL.

Good move by Sony, I'm not that interested in the game, though it must suck for those who don't get to play it, in PAL territory (to those who don't own a PS3). Doesn't change the fact that it's a smart move by Sony though.

And you definatly do not do it with a mediocre movie based game that hardly anyone cares about too

so has the over hyper hype for this game from cows happend yet? its what they usually do to their exclusive games.
