Why? the 360's three biggest games this year are all in trouble of going multiplatform to ps3. Bioshock might go to the ps3 later because it's a hit and there was already a rumor about it earlier this year. Bungie went independent, but I don't think they'll be making too many ps3 games (and halo will definitely stay on xbox). Bungie is a second party developer nowlike naughty dog and insomaniac. Now, bioware was bought by EA and that leaves mass effect with the chance of going multiplat. EA lives off of multiplat games and I don't see why they'd hesitate to make mass effect multiplat. Not only might mass effect go multiplat, but other previously xbox exclusive games might have multiplat sequels (if there are ever any sequels). Jade empire 2 might go multiplat and so would KOTOR 3 if there ever is one. Microsoft needs to buy some big company so they can start gettin' amazing first party games. What company do u think microsoft needs to get? try to make some possible suggestions, not something nearly impossible like EA.

whether or not kotor 3 goes to ps3 is irrelevant, considering that bioware won't develop the game. they didn't make kotor 2, so i don't see why they would make kotor 3.

eh? the first ME is still published by MS...Thus they are the ones to get it. The only other system to get it could be PC. Due to it being published by MS. I really don't think they will let the title go away, they will work out a deal to keep ME just for the 360. Not to mention Peter More is now working with EA as well :roll:

If anything ME will stay PC and 360 never will it go over to PS3 ;P

Anything after that could be multi, but why would it. People would get lost in the series ;) Oh and KOTOR is not owned by Bioware, thus EA never gained the rights to the game. Same with never winter nights.

Why would Bungie develop for the PS3, when they have worked on the xbox for so long....It would be like naughty dog suddenly switching over to the wii or something to develop on.

touche. but i'm pretty sure that infinity ward never said that they wouldn't work with activision again, like bioware said about lucasarts.

I'd say MS and Sony are in trouble. People tend to under value EA, and this can be a general problem. What woul be worse then EA multiplating 360 exclusives would be them creating their own console.

bioshock is NOT coming to ps3, neither is Halo 3 and its extremely unlikely that mass effect will, maybe you will get the sequals

i have to agree with the first part of your post. MS definitely took a hard one-two punch, first losing bungie, and now probably losing ME exclusivity. they need to get their act together and protect high quality exclusives or else there's no reason to get a 360. i mean the way things have been going for them the past few weeks, i wouldn't be surprised if epic games finds some loophole in their contract and decides to take GEoW multiplat.

Wow you gotta love cows! What hypocrytes they really are!!!! I remember them judging Mass Effect several times butnow their tune has changed. Just remember cows, its a 360 exclusive and you'll never get it cause the PS3 probaly couldn't handle it anyway.

Although, I disagree with the OP's impractical analysis, lets say they did happen...I don't see how that means Microsoft is in "trouble" Especially when the 360 is already a success.
