Pretty self explanitory I suppose. Makers want to make more money, and gamers want to have it on the 360 :).

More money. And people who own Xbox 360's like killing things...zombies in particular. Dead Rising...zombies. Dead Rising...Capcom. It all makes sense.

Nintendo Wii can't handle it. Specs too high.

Controls wouldnt work either.

RE 5 needs the technical monsters which are the ps3 and 360.

The same can be asked of Ace Combat 6 and Devil May Cry 4. More 360's sold = more money on games made for the 360.

Cash money; and the fact that developers and publishers probally freaked when the PS3 did a face plant at launch.

In my opinion, I think it is coming to the Xbox 360 because of how well it is doing and Capcom has been supporting MicroSoft a lot on this console.

Because the 360 has the highest software sales of all the consoles so it will make them a load of money

Resident Evil has been on every platform except the Xbox so why not. It started on the PlayStation and the Sega Saturn with the first game. Then branched out to include the Game.Com, N64, DreamCast, Game Cube, PlayStation 2, Game Boy Pocket, Wii, and PC. So why not make RE5 for the Xbox 360? Its neither ever belonged to Sony or Nintendo but to pretty much every medium you could put a game on.

That's easy, Dead Rising and Lost Planet. They sold so well on the 360 that Capcom announced DMC4 and RE5 would be multi-platform. That's what Gamespot said at least.

When RE5 was announced back in 05 or 06 I forget which E3 but Capcom even said then that the game was PS3 and 360. Lost Planet and Dead Rising had nothing to do with it. Capcom made this decision long before anyone knew the PS3 would do worse than the 360 and long before Capcom released any games on the console.

Software sales are off the charts on the console, so why not do it if the hardware can handle it?

Capcom supports Xbox a lot more this generation than it did with the original. Just look at the lineup of Capcom games we've got on 360.

It is. But they are making a new series with same creators and music people. Lost Odessy if I spelled it right.

Hironobu Sakaguchi the man who created Final Fantasy quit Square-Enix a few years after the merger to create his own studio MistWalker. He hasn't been involved with a Final Fantsy since 10. Lost Odyssey is supposed to be pretty much a Final Fantasy game. Which is good, Tetsuya Nomura is slowly butchering the FF legacy.

The 360 has a large installed consumer base with a proven track record of buying AAA titles. If you add that to the PS3 user base, profits are way higher across the two platforms. That's why big companies (EA or Activision) release the same title for every platform they can.

I am personally glad its coming to the 360, because i'm a poor college kid unable to afford a playstation 3, so i'm getting a used 360 as soon as this game comes out....but to the person above who said that the wii couldn't handle this game, because of the controls...um...resident evil 4 on wii had amazing controls. That said...i'm glad its coming to 360.

Definitely! It will be great to see more PS2/PS3 titles ported to the 360. Not everybody has multiple consoles so I think this is a wise move from the devs to earn more sales and establish a greater foothold.

Its all about the money these days. People seem to cling on to the belief that games are held to that standard of loyalty present during the real system wars between Sega and Nintendo in the early 90's and to a lesser extent Nintendo vs. Sony in the later 90's. The lines between brands have become blurred and the vast majority of third party titles are going to be multi-platform forever now. Regardless of fanatical people think this game or that game should stay on what console (crazy Devil May Cry fans I am talking about you) should pretty much give up the fight because unless its a Sony made game or a Microsoft made game chances are its on both consoles.

If you want ps3 games buy a ps3.Whats with all the 360 owners want ports of playstation games.I will be buying it on a playstation. I bought them with a playstation i will end it with a playstation.IppotheFighter

coz most people cabt afford to buy a seperate console for just 1 or 2 exclusive games they want to play but cant on they console they bought. doubt i would buy a ps3 for rezi but id buy rezi if it was out on 360 . dont see what the big fuss is. wudnt bother me if the best exclusives were shared around every console even 360 ones to ps3 and wii. the better games do then the more games we will see get released all round , and that benifits everyone. daft attitude to have to limit games to only 1 console, no one looses out.

Actually thegame was right, Wii's software sales are in the toilet, IamTakkun you're thinking of the Wii's hardware sales. The Wii outsold Xbox in hardware but dreafully undersold in software. Translation, people with Wii's only buy one or two games for it, mostly first party games like Zelda or Mario. Burn.
