- Jack Tretton

Like he says, contracts can not be broken, sony doesn't play with timed exclusives. This is coming from the CEO of Sony so I'm sure it is a reliable source.

Well technically contracts can be broken, but that tends to lead to litigation.

Right now it's a PS3 only title. Yes that's true. That can't be denied.

However, I don't trust any companies words like I did a decade ago. Too much lying going on. In this case, Rockstar is a 3rd Party company, I can see other versions hitting a year later.

If it doesn't, good for Rockstar not lying, but I look at their history, and I don't see them making anything exclusive for long.

He never said how long. Didn't even say it would be PS3 only, forever. So it still could eventually come to 360.

A person such as the President of Sony would not just blurt out something like that. If they made a contract for it to stay PS3 only, it is staying PS3 only more than likely. But when there's a will there's a way but highly unlikely.

He also said FFXIV will only be on Ps3 as far as consoles go, and I think we all know that's not going to happen.

Dont you think MS had a contract for all those timed exclusive games? Contracts keep peoples mouths shut. You act as if Tretton is a saint and he would say that it was coming to 360 anyway. Last gen, sony pushed every GTA as an exclusive, even though they were timed for at least 6 mos. Did you just start gaming this gen? This is standard practice.

If it doesn't sell well enough, it will move to 360. Games are too expensive for 3rd parties to leave that kind of money on the table. Just ask Square Enix.

Heck, even if it does sell well, it'll probably show up on the 360. No Rockstar game has ever stayed exclusive to one console.

Chutebox

I believe there are issues with console MMO publishers/developers and XBOX Live are currently delaying them from being on the 360 platform indefinitely. That's the case for Champions Online, if I recall, and I believe it's the same situation for FFXIV.

I'm guessing MS wants the game to be for Gold memberships only, unlike FFXI.

Sony knows how to keep exclusives better. I can't think of one game with the "Only on Playstation" tag that has been ported to another system. There's a ton of 360 games with "Only on Xbox 360" tag that get ported to PS3 all the time.

Games like DMC4 and FFXIII beg to differ though... It's still a lost exclusive even if it's lost before the release date...

lol @ "sony knows how to keep exclusives better" :lol: Its called first party studios, and sony has tons of them since they dominated 2 gens in a row. they did the same thing MS is doing this gen. They payed for timed exclusives that later went to GC and Xbox. Guess what? IT WORKS!! More people bought PS2 because of it, and sony eventually bought a lot of those smaller studios. You cows act as if sony is innocent, and MS should just roll over and let sony run the industry. MS is doing what they need to do to push the brand, and guess what? IT WORKS!! It doesnt matter if another console gets the game later, the Xbox brand was pushed forward for having that game AT RELEASE, not a year later.

You just ruined your own argument with that statement. An "exclusivity deal" is a deal for a certain amount of time. Its not a lost exclusive if the platform holder only gets a deal for a certain amount of time from the get go. They didnt lose anything.

If the rumors about Song giving up the timed exclusive for GTA4 for this game are true, then i doubt it's going any where. Do people really think Sony would give up timed exclusivity of GTA4 for timed exclusivity of another, no name, unproven game? Highly unlikely, which is why i think Agent won't be going to any other system this gen. But then again, stranger things have happened.
