After losing key exclusive titles such Devil May Cry 4 and Grand Theft Auto IV, Sony continues to hold on to one of the last great exclusive titles in it's arsenal in the form of Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots.
The fact that the game has remained exclusive, and continues to be for the PlayStation 3 only should prove instrumental in helping to boost the adoption rate of the console.
"We're telling our fans that if you want to play 'Metal Gear Solid 4', you have to buy a PS3," said Ryan Payton, the assistant producer of the game. "The PlayStation brand has always been good to us, and we're pretty bullish on the PS3."
Because of the high development cost of current-gen games, most publishers prefer to release a game on various platforms in order to try to recover the largest amount of profit, throwing exclusivity out the window.
"We understand publishers are needing to recoup their investment," said Peter Dille, Senior Vice President of Marketing for Sony. "From our perspective, as long as the games aren't going exclusive to other platforms, PS3 gamers are not actually losing anything."
To counter third party developers and their releasing multi-platform games, Sony has ramped up their in house development studios to produce high quality, exclusive, first party games.
The company currently has 15 development studios working on games, more than Microsoft and Nintendo combined, Dille stated, and he also expects there to be 15 PS3 exclusive title to be release between September 2007 to April 2008. heres the link: http://www.psu.com/MGS-4--Last-of-the-great-exclusives--a0002043-p0.php
Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
The charity event will be streamed live from Gamescom in August.
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
Lol They forgot ffxlll & tekken 6 & kh3 & many more,But hey maybe meant 08,dont know?didn't care to read all of it.

You know what i'm sry,mgs4 was just a exempel of all the exlusives.sry...
Last ? LOL
For me, great exclusives are the reason to own a console.
PSWii60 FTW!!!
I know now that most people believe the PS3 has and will continue to have no real "compelling exclusive games" is because they really are shortsighted and ignorant. How else can one explain the continuation of that sentiment this far into the console's life cycle?
MGS 4 the only exclusive left in 2008? LOL.
