First we get news from Sony that the "Big" update will be a small update.

Then we get the news from Microsoft that DMC4 is now multiplatform w/ simultaneous release dates.

Just like Halo 3 will release right around the same time PS Home is launched.

Microsoft, so far, has tattooed Sony at almost every turn.

All that's left is for Microsoft to release a HDMI (Digital) version of the 360 for true 1080P games.

Come on, Sony!

Fear and Oblivion were both muli-platform as soon as they hit the 360 - these titles were both exclusive to PC gamers for months before their release on Xbox. Also, Fightnight is considered to be an annual or semi annual sports title release from EA, meaning it will always be multi-platform, just like NBA Street, Madden, the NHL series etc. Also Fightnight was announced it would be available on both consoles immediately. There was no guessing work involved or politics on weather or not the game would be exclusive, it was well known when they announced the title that it wouldn't be.

DMC 4 is different because the series has always been a staple of Sony. No other console was expected to get this title. Announcements like this are more disturbing because they are expected to be exclusive to Sony and could potentially boost overall console sales. Losing exclusives like this may not seem like a big deal but when titles go multi platform, it hurts the sales dramatically for each company involved (i.e Sony, Microsoft etc). The only real winners are people like Capcom who end up shipping more overall units because of the ports.

Just my two cents.

I agree completely. Sony's initial sales pitch had blu-ray, HDMI, 1080P games, and exclusives like MGS4 & DMC4.

Does Sony realize the bell has rung already and were in the early rounds of a 15 round championship bout?

No big deal. Dead Rising 1 or 2 and Lost Planet 1 or 2 will be announced for the PS3 in the near future. Those are (or will be) excellent games.

It will be nice to see how a title that was originally on the ps3 only looks when its converted, lets hope its not better on 360 like cod3 etc. That would cause a storm.

In other words, we have the exclusives that matter. ricd1999
??? Where'd you get that from? Exclusives are all about preferance so it could be if you prefer those games that Sony has gt the ones that matter. For me FF's have gone a little stale and worsened since FF7 so I don't bother with them anymore (if they make a remake of 7 or 8 I'm jumping straight for a PS3), God of war isn't as good as ninja gaiden in my opinion, lair looks okay but I want to see real game play not trailers, havenly sword looked unimpressive to me, I want metal gear solid 4 really bad cos it looks great but still not seen any gameplay, Don't care about socom (will stick with gears of war), don't know what white knight is and Warhawk isn't a full game anymore cos it's going to be on the playstation network as a download since theyv'e had problems making it. For the 360 DOA4, Lost oddyssey, Ninja gaiden 2, gears of war, Mass effect and a few others are good for me so I like the 360 alot aswell. But I really would like Tekken 6, MGS 4, GoW 3 (I prefer ninja gaiden but it's still good), FF 13 (I prefer the oold ones but FF is FF so it gets my money) and ofcourse I would love to try some other games but can't think of any at the moment.

Thats what I was thinking. Capcom said they would take advantage of every consoles strengths...which means they will probably lie and just port it BUT look for riots to occur if the 360 has better visuals and lighitng, physics etc. because most of us (me included) would like to believe that the PS3 is more powerful even though the other multiplats, Oblivion being the exception look better on the 360.

I said many times that DMC4 would not go 360...heres to eating my words lol.......(rolls arund in self-pity, self-loathing, and self ownage):P

This is just a game that we all knew from Sony consoles...and that wall has been tore down.

Yikes! Ninja Gaiden over God of War!!! Well you're entitled to your opinion. Warhawk will be released on BD as well.

I guess there's a lesson to be learned in these forums---no one can tell you that a game is an exclusive any longer (unless it's actually made by Sony or MS or Nintendo). I've read so many threads a while back with people saying how stupid it was to say that DMC4 will be available to the 360. As long as a company will make money, that's the only exclusive we can be sure of.
