Nothing seems to go Sony's way these days. One of the PlayStation 3's bigger exclusives, Devil May Cry 4, is also coming to Xbox 360 and PC.

[sarcasm]It's a joke, DMC4 can't go 360. The 360 doesn't have Blu-Ray which gives games better graphics, allows more and better textures, better physics, better AI etc!

This ought to feel like a good kick in the nads for the PS3 fanboys.

I actualy have no desire to buy a PS3 anymore. The only possible thing to pursuade me is MGS4 and that might even become Multiplatform soon.

Oh well..I learned two things today--Capcom can officially, no longer be trusted when it comes to exclusivity; And secondly, multiplatform titles really do save me alot more money then I thought. Hopefully, Konami and Square will do the same soon. Time to go check out the Gamespot boards--System Wars must be on fire.

It's kinda silly in my opinion.

Gaming, like anything else these days, is a business. Everyone in it, even artists like Kojima, are still in it for the bottom line of making as much money as possible off popular products.

Now it is clear that the PS3 is laging behind right now due to it's excessive price. Great machine, but everyday Joe can't dish out $600 on something like that. At the same time, new generation games cost A LOT to be made. Look at Metal Gear. The graphics, the music, the voice acting... that ain't cheap. They need to make money. Having a game be a PlayStaion exclusive is simply not profitable. It doesn't make it a bad system, just not the pony to bet on when you're trying to cash in.

I personally could care less about Wii and 360. I don't have them and I don't plan on getting them. The PS3... hell, I like the PlayStation family because Metal Gear grew up on it. Plus it was my very first system. I'm not all hyped and ready for the PS3, but it will be the one system I'll buy in this generation.

Even if MGS4 goes on the 360, it's still a PlayStation-designed game. I have learned that lesson with Substance on the Xbox. Anyone who actually owned MGS2 Substance on the Xbox knows EXACTLY what I'm talking about. Same goes for MGS4. The game is designed for the PS3, plain and simple. It is meant for that system. And that is what I'll have.

To me, the Solid series equal PlayStation. I could really care less about ports and such as I feel that they will not succeed. People loyal to the Xbox usually don't like Metal Gear, or most other PS exclusives. However, from a production point of view, if you were gonna release a game exclusively on a system that has only sold 2 million units instead of ADDING to that a system that has sold over 10 million... yeah...

People were asking about "DMC4 is not on PS3 only!?!? omgwtfbbq" in my store and they whined about it so much they had to walk out cursing. Some fanboys can't take it [/giverazor] ;D
