Xbox 360 loses another exclusive- Tales of Vesperia

[QUOTE="xxThyLordxx"][QUOTE="Nike_Air"]

Wow and ouch.What's next to make the jump to ps3 ?

HuusAsking

You mean how NG2 was guaranteed exclusive? MS published that too, as far as I know.

I imagine there will be a similar sort of gig with ME, as there's been so many times they could have crushed the idea, and they've refused to say "No, it's not coming"

What if the PS3 ToV comes out in Japan only. Would that still count as an lost exclsuive?

Chaos_HL21

yes and no, but does it matter?

honestly, I wish Yakuza 3 was not Japan-only.

[QUOTE="jonnyt61"][QUOTE="HuusAsking"]How will Mass Effect jump when Microsoft has #1 locked? #2 and #3 won't make sense without one (as it's a trilogy), and jumping withing a generation would be considered idiotic. As for Ace Combat, I don't think the cost of a port will justify any sales at this point, considering its age.HuusAsking

Well if was Japan only. Similar to Tales of Symphonia. It would be pretty hard to play if you import it. Because it may be only in Japanese, and you kinda need to know what they are saying to understand a RPG.

Here, explain this.

Now they have to release Star Ocean and Mass Effect and Gears to the PS3 and the 360 will be nothing..

[QUOTE="MightyMuna"][QUOTE="HuusAsking"]I believe EA did say, "No, it's not coming." about two months ago. Again, ties to Microsoft and probably money involved, too (IOW, they jump, they lose money).HuusAsking

you might be right, but do you have any links about your claims? any link about the contract, the FACT is EA OWNS the Mass Effect IP, EA published Mass Effect on PC. no one knows about the contract, only MS, Bioware and EA, as far as I know, details about the contract was never disclosed to the public, so all what your are saying is justspeculationand educated guesses, unless you have a link to back up what you've said, but we'll just have to wait and see.

[QUOTE="HuusAsking"][QUOTE="MightyMuna"] no. they never said "its not coming", they gave a "no comment" when asked again, they said, "we have nothing to announce at this time yet" or something like that. seriously, people need to realize that, if it is not first party(I mean developed internally or own the ip) then it has a very good chance of going multi, this gen, nothing is certain.MightyMuna

[QUOTE="HuusAsking"] But that's what I'm talking about. Didn't Microsoft pay Bioware for Mass Effect? Exchange of money means if they jump, they breach contract...and lose the money. And the contract was inked before the EA buyout so it must still be honored (standard contract laws). So the question you have to ask yourself is...does EA think it can recoup any money they'd have to pay back Microsoft for breach of contract if they take the plunge and go multi? After all, being a trilogy, having 2 & 3 won't make sense without 1. And many people have one console and no PC, so it must be all or nothing.HuusAsking
