don't fret so much whatever it is that you want will be out on the ps3 someday, look at fallout 3

However, look at where buying exclusives have gotten them. The 360 has definitely proven itself w/ multiplats.

are you okay with other companies doing the same?

MGS4 was paid by sony. Same with ff14 most liekly.

What bothers me is that they PAY for time exclusive of XBLA games. That is pathetic. No one buys a console to have castles crashers as a exclusive for a year.

i have a 360 btw dont judge me by mu SIG.

alot of these MS publishes or pays for them to be made, isnt that what all the big companies do?

You gotta link for that MGS4 claim? And FF14 isn't exclusive to the PS3 to begin with - it is releasing alongside a PC version as well, and the devs have stated they would like to bring it to the 360, but have a current impasse in negotiations with MS.

I'm not gonna bash MS on their strategy, because it has worked well for them, and with a dearth of first party developers, they really don't have a lot of options. It's a business, and if any of the three want to pay up, well that's business. But let's not just make up stuff.

I like how $ony paysmillions to make things exclusive just so the 360 would not have it. Wow $ony seriously.

40 million for lost and damned wow M$ seriously........

The 40 million was a loan.

It's called business. You think no other company has done it? And for the last time, MS didn't pay $50 million for GTA IV DLC. They gave R* an advance on $50 million. MS is getting paid back out of the money R* is making from the DLC.

oh so rockstar is in debt to MS?Rza_rectah

[QUOTE="CaseyWegner"]

[QUOTE="nhh18"]It is basically done. It isn't like anyone now is going to purchase it 6 months later to buy the same 20 $ expansion pack.

Well, maybe you don't need a link to think that way, but without some sort of evidence to support your claim, then it is just that: Your opinion. Of course there are reasons other than a payment for why Kojima wanted to focus on one console. For example, developing on one system allows you to focus your dev team on one set of problems, and to exploit the strengths of one machine more thoroughly. Do I know that is the one reason MGS4 went exclusively to the PS3? Nope, and I don't claim it as a fact. But it has every bit as much credence as your theory.

[QUOTE="nhh18"]It won't be able to break another 100,000 to 200,000 though for months possibly years. It is incredibly shift towards launch. Which is what I'm saying.

[QUOTE="spliffstar12"] lost and damned and ballad of gay tony is coming out on a disc so it will sell a lot morespliffstar12

I don't want to argue about this silly thing but here are some stats that you guys might like. The DLC of lost and damned sold 6:1 on dlc to shelves (which means it sold roughly 180,000-200,000 in shelves and 720,000-800,000 on dlc. There is no chance (I think) that microsoft will make any profit on this investment. And the gay tony, and lost and damned pack would be lucky to get 50,000 sold.
