Seems cool to me. Once the Lemmings get a taste they'll buy a PS3 for Demons Souls.

As a PS3 owner, I'm glad its coming out for the 360 so that they can experience what we had in Demon's Souls. I hope it does very well.

I want From Software to be rewarded for breaking the mold and making a game that breaks the rules. Hopefully other developers will be more bold and stop following the same formula and trying to copy other successful games.

I just wish there were a PC version. DS is the only reason I still have my ps3.

I'm glad it isn't on PC. I want justification for my consoles. If I could just buy everything on my PC, then owning a console wouldn't matter.

Most PS3 exclusives and multiplats are shooters or have elements of guns and violence. Majority of the PS3 crowd play these games. In fact shooters and or violent games are the biggest sellers on the PS3, so your statement goes both ways.

Who said it wasn't a good thing? More platforms = more sales.

Dark Souls is going to be an amazing game... I'm almost expecting Gamespot to give it a 9.5.

Dark Souls for the 360 is a VERY good thing. This way we can rub it in their faces and show how awesome our PS3 is because we have teh Cell and the 360 isn't strong enough to play Dark Souls with graphix as good as the PS Triple. That means that Dark Souls is proof that PS3 > 360 and it gives pride to cows everywhere that FROM Software is trolling 360 users for money and giving PS3 users the best Dark Souls experience ever.

Fairly sure they look the same, graphically. Although this isn't the "end all, be all" source for American sales, it's 14th on Amazon's Best Sellers (which I imagine is pretty good). I pre-ordered the Collector's for 360 to entice my friend to grab it as well :D.

Sony dropped the ball on Demon's Souls and Dark Souls. They don't deserve to have it exclusive, they apparently didn't realize what a jewel it was and thought it would fail. Guess it didn't figure into their "gritty shooter" approach. They should have pushed it anyways. Demon's Souls is such a cooler name than "Dark Souls", it's a pity they couldn't use it again.

The only thing I hate about "Dark Souls" coming to the 360 is the fact that people without XBL will undoubtedly have a difficult time with the game, there were so many instances when I was playing Demon Souls and I desperately needed help since I had no idea what I was doing. And the co-op mode was so helpful (and innovative) that I wanted to keep playing it with people

I can't imagine how lame it would be to play the Demon Souls boss where you fight another user, with just the computer, people need to experience it

I got a PS3 but I def won't be getting Dark Souls. I'm not a fan of games that punishing. However I do hope it sells well on both platforms. From Software should be commended for breaking the mold. I also like how their pre-order bonus is a free upgrade to the collector's edition. That is awesome for the fans.

Do you have a link or something to verify what you just wrote?...

"Demon Souls" was not a first party game, it was a third party game published by Atlus, and the game itself was co-developed by Sony Japan Studios

Just because it has swords and spells doesn't make it a good PC game, this kind of die and try again games have alawys been more of a console thing imo.

did you give demon's souls a chance? I almost sold my copy when I first got it, it was so hard, but then thers something about it that keeps pulling me back, and when i finally beat the 1st boss then the addiction starts, lol, I guess it wasnt really that hard, its never cheaply hard, we just got used to those easy games this gen

From Software has made plenty of titles that "broke the rules" It is sad that Demon Souls is the first game that seems to get mainstream appeal for them when they actually have an extremely impressive library of genre bending games.

It was published by Sony in the east, apparently Sony did not have enough faith for the game in the Wesf, so they let Atlus distribute it.

Yeah, Deathtransit's story is legit. Sony admitted it in an interview. I don't remember with who though.

Dark Souls isn't a sequel to Demon's Souls, which is why Sony has nothing to do with it. It's a new IP according to From. And since you can't copyright titles (it's the law) they can make it sound close to Demon's Souls in order for fans of that game to spot Dark Souls. But it's also not Demon's Souls 2, which avoids any legal issues.

Smart-smart From. :P

I'm glad they have the 360 base to grow their sales this time around. Games like this are far too rare and From deserves to be rewarded for going against the copy/paste game design the industry has flocked toward.

of course its a good thing, but a potential issue i see is that the 360 community just doesn't seem like the type that will buy too many copies of this kind of game. shooters yes, but hardcore hard as hell jrpg, i have my doubts. and for a game that features a very important online aspect, i get the feeling that the 360 servers will be quite dead by the end of the year. so if you have the choice i highly suggest you get the ps3 version.

I admit I hadn't bothered thinking about that angle, I was annoyed that the 360 was stealing DS players. But I guess, using your logic, it'll be a good thing in the end. More games like Demons Souls can only be a good thing...

Arent all RPGs so far better selling on xbox 360 (beside FF13 of course) ?

So why not this one ?
