No matter how good the systems are it seems to me you can just count on  not many exclusives to come with the money that can be made going between both systems.

I know they don't care. But what they don't care about doesn't make it a fact. Fact remains exclusive means something like Forza 2. Not Oblivion, not Halo and definitely not Bioshock.

isn't this the exact same magazine that started the same rumor? i believe that magazine was printed before X06 when it was announced that it was a console exclusive.

That actually only a guess from the Mag editor , if you see in one of the scan , it's say :
5. Wasn't it 360 exclusive .
The answer isn't given by the dev , but by the editor who only throw a Guess . This is full of BS .

I dont look at the PC as a console though and you cant i meant and sorry if did not clarify between 360 and PS3 and the reason i dont count the PC is you can always upgrade it to make it better. better Graphics card etc. a console you cannot only the HDD so. Excuse me for not clarifying but i am betting about 95% of the people that read this knew what i was talking about

Even if what it says in that magazine is true it still says that it's a "Timed exclusive." So the good news for fanboys is that even if Bioshock is no longer a console exclusive it still won't be released for the PS3 for most probably atleast 6 months after the 360 version.

I don't get why people are so annoyed about the so called 360 exclusives like Oblivion and Saints Row going to PS3. They are all games I was playing almost a year ago and have well and truly finished and games that I didn't have to fork out $500 for the privelage to play. Loss of exclusives is only bad news for fan boys.

OK Mr. Technical. CONSOLE exclusive, there, happy? No? Whatever. Anyway, exlcusive don't really matter, but in a weird way. If things continue this way then there will be very little reason to buy a PS3 when you already have a 360, or vice versa. Now, that's not really a problem, its actually nice to have most of the games out on each system. Now here's the problem, and I admit its a weird one: Now the only reason to buy the other system is, basically, for first party exclusives you won't see anywhere else. So that means you really get less value for your purchase when you buy a PS3 just to play God of War and maybe Devil May Cry. You guys see what I'm getting at? Not a big deal, but its interesting nonetheless.

On the other side of the coin there are rumors that Mercenaries 2 is no longer an exclusive to the PS3. 

 I can't wait for Mercenaries 2 for the xbox360.

I agree with that for the most part. The term "exclusive" ain't what it used to be (if you owned a SNES and Genesis then you know what I mean)...

That's pretty much why I traded in my original Xbox... I bought a PS2 because of GTA III and then all the games I cared about on Xbox were already on PS2 (didn't get roped into playing Halo / Halo 2 until a very short time ago) or, worst case scenario, PC (Morrowind). Resistance Fall Of Man looked like a cool game, but 360 has great shooters too so it's not a big loss to me. Final Fantasy XIII may be all well and good, but Blue Dragon looks more like my kind of thing. Who needs Gran Turismo when you've got Forza? Or Tekken when you've got DOA? If I don't get a PS3, it's not because I don't think it's a good system, it's because I think I won't get $600 out of it. 360 has better online, right now has better exclusives (though I do miss Ape Escape!), and PS3 will have to really have something big in their closet for me to try and balance play between 3 consoles right now. So it's the same situation, although with more game companies relying less on console exclusives, it's certainly a more obvious situation now.

Like another poster said, though... I don't care if it comes out for every system. As long as it comes out for 360 too, and is decent.

Actually, I do believe that the PC should be included.  Does it really matter how we play our games or what they are played on.  So I have to agree with the poster that said it was never an exclusive.  Unless you are saying exclusive to Microsoft platforms.

I don't care about exclusives. Ss long as a game comes to a console I own, I don't care how many others get it.

Ports before used to be annoying too, since the console getting it last normally got some added features to make up for the game being old, but that doesn't have to be the case anymore with downloadable content. Like Ninja Gaiden: Sigma, I don't know what new stuff they are including, but I'm sure Team Ninja (loyal as they are to the 360) wouldn't give something totally new to PS3 owners without giving it to 360 owners as well. Personally, I'm still waiting for my online coop for NG :P

March 2006 Game Informer issue 155, page 53.

"When we  asked about the PS3 however, the team skirted the issue in a what that sounded suspiciously like they hadn't recieved official approval from Sony of America, they did express an interest in working with the upcoming console. While the forcast looks promising for the PS3, Bioshock is still about a year away."

Between the whole Kain and Lynch is it exclusive or not debate. Again reported as going multi console almost a 18 months ago or more (I can't remember the exact). And now this I'm wondering why more people don't read Game Informer as they apparently have some good info and insight into the exlclusive game deals.

I hope it does end up on PS3... I'm sick and tired of cows saying the 360 gets nothing but FPS.

No matter what games come out multiplat I will always buy them for the 360 even after I get a PS3.  It isn't even a question if the game has on-line MP (I know this game doesn't, no need to inform me).

actually 95% of the people here probably thought you meant 360 only and NOTHING else. and just because you can upgrade a pc to make it better doesn't mean it shouldn't be included that doesn't really make sense. millions of people still buy pc games (WoW burning crusade, 2.4 million sold in 24 hours) and the games that are released on pc and console nowadays are usually the same exact thing but with different controls. so how about we take ps3 out of the competition too because you can use linux on it like i am right now to type this. so now i can surf the web, check email, instant message, and technically its possible to install a pc game on the ps3 if someone reworked ydl to play it and 360 cant do any of that so i guess you cant compare them anymore either.

I get what you're saying, but that only applies to people that have a 360. If you were neutral up until this point console exclusives and 1st party games will definitely matter. With the exception of Halo 3 the PS3 has more 1st party potential for my game tastes, and that will make me buy a PS3 when the time is right. If the only exclusives that were released were, God of War 3, Devil May Cry 4, MGS 4, Ratchet & Clank, Naughty Dogs new game and Final Fantasy 13 I would say that was $600 well spent.

Sure, I also knew what you were talking about. I'm just a little sick of people calling non-exclusive games exclusives. When something is exclusive to the X360, you need an X360 to play that game. You don't need an X360 for Bioshock and upgrading you're PC, how low it's specs may be, to run Bioshock will cost less then an X360. Don't take it personally. Just let me be. :P

Ehm, yeah. Strangely I can play any of these so called exclusives. without an X360. I think it's not that hard to put 'console' in front of 'exclusive' to make the term correct, do you? The PC is a system like consoles are systems. The fact it's not exactly the same thing doesn't really matter for games. More people have a PC that can run games like Bioshock then you probably think.
