MS paid 50 million for 2 episodes. Already sold one million, and is expected to sell two, before second episodes, that gives 40 million in gains, if we add extra GTAIV software sales boost, and a slighty hardware boost, when GTA4 DLC was launched, it already paed itself. The good thing there still one episode left which is all gains.
Gran thief auto IV was an exclusive to PS3, sony lost it. If MS managed to get sells ratio 1:1, its a success, cuz it was sony dominance over the title. Having sold one million of GTAIV DLC, and 2 million by octuber that means GTAIV DLC payed the exclusivity rights to MS, look at the charts again, GTA4 again sold a nice quantity of software units, even contributed to a slight boost in hardware sells, that translated, MS move was a samrt one an it already pay itself, and remember one thing the...
I read that, long time ago, when HALO 3: ODST(RECON back then) was anounced. on my Opinion, I didnt like halo 3 lenght, but if they made ODST lenght about 6-8 hours long, i will be happy to it, if is true or not i dunno, but i doubt it will be only 2-3 hours, that is ridiculus.
@Cajun Chicken
there is no problem to implement split screen and coop,into a open world game, from a technical point is easier, the problem comes with how far can it go, and how limited will it be...
About split screen and COOP..coming from bungie i have no doubt that they will made the game with coop and split screen, they made the concept reality to console back when HALO 1 appear on xbox, so not having it now is a denial of Halo itself.
Note:
"Let me be clear with something before a fucxing fanboy comes to argue about it, there were already games with split screen, and a form of multiplayer via a special cable, but MS & Bungie made the concept very practi...
Halo ODST isn't a game, is a standalone expansion of Halo 3, that's why the campaign will be short, but this article is likely wrong, i read before, that the campaign was to be about 6-8 hours. And for the visuals, i read once that it will be bloodier than Halo 3, so i assume it will be better looking, is up to bungie how.
@GiantEnemyCrab - You lost your sense of logic bro
If u see, PS3 game version sells at the same pace, as the console PS3 ratio over the 360, so is not about console superiority, is about what system do you own. Japan isnt friendly for the 360, so this was expected. Lets see how performs in america, where the 360 ratio over the ps3 is 2.5:1, if that happens, using japans sales numbers means that 11% of the ps3 user base bought RE5, and 9% from the 360 userbase. If we take installed base numbers, we can make an estimate for NA.

both of you
Fatal Frame or like "Cyrus365" said, a psp game
If u see in the listing, the 360 version doesnt have date yet.
So to me this indicates that Bioshock is almost complete and they're teasing with MS for an exclusive.
i doubt that it will be an exclusive, Ninja gaiden barely sold well and that was across both platforms.
Ninja Gaiden 2(360)= 1,020,000 copies
Ninja Gaiden sigma(Ps3)= 400,000 copies
I will ask my parents about it, i live in the caribbean. ^^
@CanadianGuy yeh i know this but, itsnt too fair to compare 2 different games and in different consoles. Let me explain, why the author didnt take 2K9(PS3) vs the Show? i clealrly see he trying an oportunity to show inferiority and in thise case is 360, but isnt the console it just the freaking game, thats why i said the camparison doesnt work too well. Like "badz149" said, if the author intention was to compare the consoles, he should had compare 2K9 between both.
@P...
360 exclusives doesnt comapare to MULTIPLATFORMS too. And im not talking graphically only. I accept PS3 has a good 2009 lineup and made an exellent effort with excluive like MGS4 and Killzone 2 which are exellent games... and believe me there will be answers for those(i.e. ALAN Wake) thats how bussiness works. Im fan for both consoles(i dont have a Wii) i have my preference with some games in ps3 and others in 360. Now the real thing is PS3 is hard to code, therefore for multiplatform it does...
Both games are different, how u can tell?
Im surprised i though ps3 fans were desperate but this is extreme and mostly inmature. i dont care if ps3 is better or not, i do care about the truth. Is like comparing graphics between Call of Duty & SOCOM. Insaine itsn't?
I do agree the game is great and excellent it made me buy it, but like "VRC"said, scores influence alot in peoples mind before buying a game.
And killzone is overhyped. If u consider this to cry then be to it, like i said before, Truth and reason aren't always welcome. Killzone if not by its graphic, will be an AVG shoter with an interesting multiplayer mode. You all complained and cry about MS, and are so desperate to get a full title to overcome 360 's triple A titles. Kill...
reason isnt always welcome
If u took the time to reply this sh¡t, then u are desperate, get a life!
TEARS!!! oh yeah!
lame, the guy seems like he has been tracking Killzone 2 metascore going down like Bush popularity, thats why the score. Another futile attempt, following this article will come "10 reason 360 is failing" is inevitable. This sucxs!
