Well I have seen a bunch of PS3 fans say Gears 3 will be on the PS3 because Michael Patcher said he thinks it would happen. Mind you Patcher is just a analyst for gaming from Wedbush Morgan. Even on the last Gametrailers bonus round he admits he is wrong a lot and this seems to be enough proof for many PS3 fans.

Here is a video

Of Cliffy B. saying not going to happen. He says in the video that they have a good partners with Microsoft and that Microsoft "markets the heck out of it". Incase you do not know Cliffy B. is the lead designer on Gears. Does anyone think Microsoft would "market the heck" out of a game that is also on the PS3? Sure they prolly still would some but not as much as when it was exclusive they would just put their money torwards a different game and let Epic front more of the cost. I do not see Epic wanting to loose that kind of money.

I know the interviewer from hiphopgamer is bad but it is Cliffy B. still saying that. Just had to post this because I thought it was funny since so manyPS3 fans are running around acting like it is pretty much a fact that gears would be on the PS3 just because of what Patcher said.

Will Gears of War 3's launch crush Halo 3's if it was released on PlayStation 3, as well?

If cows want Gears that badly they can just go buy a 360, just like how they tell lemmings to buy a PS3 for MGS4.

Suddenly everyone believes Michael Patcher...

The guy has been wrong how many times before?

ANYONE can go ahead and say, "Gears 3 will be on the PS3." From a business standpoint it just seems like common sense, if the game is released to a wider audience then the game will sell more and thus make more money. It doesn't take an analyst to predict this, yet just because Michael Patcher says it, suddenly everyone takes it as fact and goes, "OOOO Gears 3 for the PS3"

Until Patcher is hired for Epic or Epic goes out and says Gears3 will be on the PS3 this is nothing but guessing. Patcher doing the guessing holds no more weight than you or me and in fact almost holds less weight simply because he has such a track record of being wrong. In fact I'd almost say he's saying big things like this just to draw attention to himself...

Truth is Epic would not make that much more money compared to what people think. The only game Microsoft spends more on marketing is Halo. So if it was not exclusive then Gears 3 would either not get all that marketing or they would have to pay for it themselves. Also along with just paying for adds they would have to pay for the marketing team. Also now they would have to pay for all the discs and packaging or whatever added expenses Microsoft is paying for. Most on here seem to forget all the different expenses that go into huge titles. So all these new expenses would not be absorbed by Microsoft. Ms would make some of that money back to a degree but they would be willing to take a cut because having Gears as exclusive would pay off in other areas.

So in the end Gears going multiplat for the PS3 would not bring as much money to Epic as most think and it would also bring a lot more headaches for Epic in other Areas they do not have now. Also the PS3 being the console with the lowest software attach rate.

Being one of the best exclusives for one of the biggest companies in the world is a very nice thing to be.

Well, MS has the rights to 2 Gears games but im 100% sure that MS is not going to let Gears 3 go to the ps3.

Its not going to happen.

Maybe if the PS3 did not have the worst software sales for example not only monthly sales but also the lowest game attach rate and not only that but the PS3 still dead last in hardware sales then maybe Epic would consider it. No reason for Epic to loose all MS's money to go from a console with the best software attach rate to go to the PS3. I mean just look how RfoM2 sold compared to Gears 2 where both were holiday shooters supposed to go head to head. Yet RfoM fails like most PS3 games when compared to 360.

Patcher is wrong in almost everything he says. I'm not saying that to argue with you, but it's true.
