I ask this because people are actually going to boycott capcom because devil may cry is coming to the 360. W.T.F. Why are people this mad simply because we get a game that they also get to play?

As for gears...I wouldn't give a damn. I had fun with the game and I don't feel loyal to microsoft at all. Why should I be mad because more people can play the game.

People are boycotting? I think it's a smart idea for Capcom to go multiplatform. If they were to make it a PS3 exclusive, they wouldn't nearly get as much money and we all want a good series to continue. As for Gears of War going to the PS3, I could care less because it'll be a greater revenue for the company which would mean (or at least hope it means) a better gaming experience for the next part of the series. Plus, maybe it'll stop a few people from bickering.

I agree, I really wouldn't care if it went to the PS3, I don't think this game should get the praise it got, dont get me wrong, I still think its a Great game but I find it to be too over-rated. (I'd rate it a 8.7-9.0)

Fanboys are retarded and they exist on the 360 boards and the PS3 boards. These people get heating when anything bad is said about their system. Its rather said when people can't see through there extreme bias. If GeoW goes to the PS3, why would I care? Does it take away from my experiance? No, it only affects fanboys who want to hold something over PS3 owners for no logical reason other then to validate their purchase choice in their mind.

I'd be glad that my friend Veronica would be able to play it without needing a whole new console.
As for the PS3 Capcom boycotters, I'm not sure what their thought process is, but I doubt Capcom cares about such a small group.

I'd say it would be good for the PS3 to get another 9+ game. So no, I wouldn't care.

Meh, could care less, since nothing I could do would change it. It'd irk me a bit, just 'cause they said it was exclusive, but I wouldn't be loosing sleep over it.

Thats a good question, it has no simple answer. But to some they would be fanboys, but it goes so much deeper.

The only reason this annoys people is because they look at the console wars as a literal war, which is something that should only exist within the companies themselves. I don't see why I, as an Xbox 360 owner, should be predisposed to hate Sony simply because Microsoft wouldn't be annoyed if Sony's headquarters were to explode.

I wouldn't care. I just hate sony for personal reasons. The whole rootkit i thought was very cheep. And the way they back talk about other companies, ect. I don't see the big deal with games going multiplatform, like when dead rising and LP went multi, i was a little annoyed since they were meant to be exclusive, but i honoustly wasn't that bothered.

I wouldn't care, I still get to play it on my 360. I do think it's funny though that sony fanboys are so ridicolous they're gonna pass on a potential great game to try and prove some unjustified point.

Oh, I've read the rumors. I've read plenty of ridiculous rumors on Rumor Control, and most of them fail to materialize. I also remember a rumor about Microsoft buying Capcom. That has yet to happen.

well if it did come out and we play against them online we probably have better controls I don't know because in my opinion 360's controller shape is better for shooting games but that just my take

I agree. That was something that I wouldn't have been to surprised to see. As for Lost Planet, I remember reading that Capcom said that they would go multi-platform if it became necessary for financial reasons, however they would do what they could to remain Xbox 360 exclusive. These comments were from before the release of the game. Even today, the game sells among the top ten on the European charts and it has been selling very well in North America, so I think it's pretty safe to say that the game will remain Xbox 360 Exclusive.

Its just annoying fanboys.  Capcom made a good business move.  Like others said, they wouldnt get enough money for releasing it on PS3 only, so opening it up too the 360 and Pc was a good idea.

I think some people might be bothered because they'll lose an console exclusive (I mean console, since it's coming to the PC as well, think of it as Oblivion caliber) and therefore the meaning of having a different, slightly weaker but more fleshed out, console would be lost in a little quantity.

If all the consoles shared the same games, you would just buy the most powerful one (PS3) or the most interesting one (Wii) and if you wanted the middleground with more features, you'd get the X-Box 360. That really doesn't work well though, one reason people buy seperate consoles is for the library, not the hardware or features, and if it just so happens that all the standout games appear on all consoles, it will become a matter of hardware or ingenuity, and that the concept is just lax and more like a PC community rather than the console one.

 I'm pretty sure all the fanboys will care about is that their precious GeOW lef the exclusive hands of the 360, whatever, sucks to them, that's just my unbiased view on it.

I think it is a great idea to go multi. more money to game makers, more games that are better quality to gamers. I see it as win win. would I buy gears on the ps3, no, simply because I already have it, would I be angered, no, they should also get to enjoy such a great game.

I wouldn't care in the least. Video gaming is not a zero sum thing. If PS3 owners have fun it doesn't suddenly reduce the amount of fun I'm having.

Porting a game to the PC isn't such a stretch coming from a Microsoft console as the developer doesn't need to pay double royalties like they would by multiplatforming to PlayStation 3 or Wii. Sadly, the once proud PC platform makes up one of the smallest sects of the gaming market, so it doesn't do much in the way of soothing economic wounds created by having your IP locked on one brand.

It would bother me but really really littlebit. I just mean that GOW is like Xbox 360 headfigure and if it will be released to PS3 Xbox 360 will lose one of his hit games. Allthought HALO 3 is coming so it really don't change enything.

I would't really care. If Gears of War goes multiplatform the developers will get more revenue because it'll sell millions of copies.

 I was leaving the PC out and restricting my commentary to consoles only, so I don't see how that's relevant.
