“I dont care if we get in in 1 or 2 years,but the funny thing is that you guys never get our exclusives. You guys never gonna see MGS4 or Heavy rain on the 360.”

Really, MGS4 sold like crap and played like crap, but was a half-way decent CGI film. What a $ony fanturd!

And sorry, but L.A. Noire looks soooo much better than Heavy Slain (another CGI movie with button presses! Wow, we can’t wait for that. Hell Alan Wake looks like a lot more fun than Heavy Rain!

Mich, take your $ony pom-poms and shove them up your arse! You’re a such a tool.

“Thats why sony will have the upper-hand when this gen is finish in term of exclusive games. Sony has more studios than nintendo and microsoft combine.”

What’s that old standard? “Quality over quantity”?
Also, show me a PS3 exclusive that’s sold more than New SMB Wii.

And yet all of those titles that tendonut mentioned were Sony exclusives at one point. Saying that they are on other systems now is kind of the fucking point.

@tendonnut

GTA was never exclusive to sony, it appeared on the pc and also on xbox.

Devil may cry 3 appeared on the xbox .

Final fantasy 1-6 were all on a nintendo platform and some of them also appeared on pc.

And anyways im talking about current gen franchises , Sony hasn’t lost as many as the 360 have. Some games that have started on the 360 and went to ps3 :

Dead rising
Bioshock
Lost planet
Star ocean
Oblivion
Kane and lynch
and many more .

If I recall correctly Halo was originally intended to be a Machintosh product. Pity it wasn’t. The Halo series is both overrated lump that gets far too much sequels and attention and a cancer on an otherwise great library.

“the funny thing is that you guys never get our exclusives”

Yeah! Except GTA, Devil May Cry, Final Fantasy, Virtua Fighter, a handful of other lesser epic series like Spyro, Crash Bandicoot, etc.)

But it works the other way too. Because Microsoft doesn’t internally develop their big system-selling exclusives, its inevitable that some of those go multi-platform too.

What is going to eventually happen is everyone will start doing the timed exclusives or everything will be multi-platform unless developed internally. Even 2nd party companies (Polyphony Digital, Insomniac) could theoretically split from their parent company and technically go multi-platform (Bungie) or be sold to a competitor (Rareware)

Well that’s a relief, as I bought a console to play games, not watch bad movies.

Mich, you mean the way Microsoft payed $50 million for that getting “exclusive” DLC developed?

No, my point is that Mass Effect 3 won’t be released this year. Hence the series won’t be released from any “time lock” until the 3rd is released after this year. Hence you aren’t going to be seeing it for a LOOOOOOONG time. And even when you do because of the hideous slow seek time of the blu-ray (it really is just a shitty format for gaming. Movies and other straight streaming media it’s great on the other hand) you will have to put up with so many installs. And I’ll swap my discs back and forth multiple times during one of your installs just to mock you.
