I really don't see the problem with games being on multiple formats, only a staunch "fanboy" of whatever console would be whining about that.I say the more the merrier, gives us more choice to buy it on whatever console we want as I have equal love for my Ps3 and 360

Kudos are lost when an admin deletes someones post/reviews/videos/pic/whatever, Skua. So I assume that a lot of things were deleted to drop PlayFr3ak's kudos to -14.

yeah but you don't seem to realise is people don't have money/want to waste money on 2-3 consoles, so a lot of us actually choose a console which has games that appeal to us more. each console is supposed to be unique, and a main part of that is due to exclusives. now if mgs4 and ff13 were to be on the 360 as well.. whats the point

he got -14 because all his posts are crap, also its better to put it on multiple platforms, what you said don't make sense, he does realise thats why it's good to have it on multi platforms because people can't afford 2 or 3 and even if GT4 was only on ps3 it doesn't mean it would have been bigger or better, the reason it got delayed is because tof the ps3 version

Oh i truly loathe fanboyism , i decided for PS3 because of it's tech & exclusives,most of the 360's best " exclusives ' are on PC as well,so $500 for a 360 w/o a HD dvd player,using last gen media ? no thanks,this way i get to play the 360's best,but own the better console,to own both seems kinda pointless to me, a 360 owner will miss PS3 exclusives , but a PS3 owner doesn't have to miss the 360's win win

Facts You need to know PlayFr3ak:


1. The Production costs of big titles run into tens of millions of dollars.

2. The Publisher needs to recoup this cost and then turn a profit

3. There is more profit to be made on an Xbox 360 release (larger install base) and a multi platform release

You should buy a system based on its software titles rather than some delusion of "Gamer loyalty"

I bought a PS3 for Little Big planet and MGS4 and any serious gamer would/should already own a 360. You're just missing out on so much if you don't.

Oh and as long as Nintendo keeps making Mario and Zelda titles I'll keep buying their systems too.

Hell I would even buy a system made by Daewoo if it had the games!

Its fine to be a fanboy. I totally understand. But the GAMES come before the systems.

I'd prefer it if every game was on every platform, then I'd just have to have one console and I could just buy everything for that. I'd like it if Sony and Microsoft teamed up, then Sony could make the hardware and Microsoft the software. But then there'd also be no competition and they could charge pretty much whatever they want so I'm probably being just a tad too simplistic.

I'm not saying they should combine the PS3 and 360, I'm thinking of a whole new console altogether. It still wouldn't work but it's still cool to think about.

I'm with you there PlayFr3ak. In my mind if a developer is making games for both the 360 and the PS3 they are likely not going extend the PS3 to its full capabilities, both in terms of processor power and storage capabilities. I mean, why would they? If they did, the devs are essentially developing two games instead of one anyway substantially increasing the dev cost.

Take the Wii as a prime example. I love playing the Wii, but anyone can see that the majority of games out for it are ports from PS2 or Gamecube games. Only titles made exclusively for the Wii (and yeah there are some crap ones of these too) are really pushing the little white box to its limits, and the results are games that are very good indeed.

When you take into consideration pirating on top of this, in my mind, developers should be rewarding/supporting Sony for placing a huge amount of effort and absorbing a huge amount of risk in going down the road of Blue ray. Really....does sony lose money from pirating? Or do the devs lose? I'll let you figure that one out for yourself.
