... everyone calls the end of Sony. Now I understand that the more titles Microsoft secure the lesser reason that the current mass of 360 owners will have to pick up a PS3. Likewise I understand that the lower price may attract people who are ONLY buying a console for, say, GTAIV or FFXIII or whatever.

What I don't understand is that people seem to ignore the fact the game is MULTIPLATFORM. I still look back to Microsoft's E3 conference and think - hang on... all these game they're showing are coming out on PS3 (Resident Evil 5, Fallout 3, their big announcement FFXIII) and I don't get how people get so super-stoked over these games that at the end of the day ARE multiplatform.

As the exclusive begins to die out why is it that people seem to take the words MULTIPLATFORM as the words "360 AMAZINGZZ, PS3Z IS DEADED". Surely that would happen the day a franchise such as Tekken 6 becomes EXCLUSIVE to 360 and Namco say - hey, there's no point in us putting this out on PS3 anymore.

I respect Microsofts business model - secure copies of every Playstation franchise that the entire gaming community is interested in. Kudos for pulling it off.

I just don't understand this "PS3 is dead" talk just because the developers spend so much money making these games they need to secure a return.

I just like the fact that every 360 troll (not every 360 user, most of you guys are cool) hates every ps3 exclusive - but as soon as its multi, becomes the biggest fanboy of it ever!!

Final Fantasy XIII was going to be my only reason for buying a PS3, but now I don't have to. I never flamed anyone though, or rubbed it in anyone's face. I feel pity for anyone who feels the need to do something like that.

Meh, i own both systems but to be fair  ONLY reason i got a PS3, was for MGS4...
However, i agree a lot of 360 users do declare they have the better system due to getting a mulit-platform release? I mean... What the fuck.

Still, fanboys will always exist. However fucking sad they are. Like do you really think blindly defending a console/a fucking machine is cool?! If so GTFO xD

It's basically just what defines a fanboy...those who act that way are just douche bag fanboys.

Why did I get a negative rating? Did some Xbox fanboy get pissy because I didn't agree with them, or did a PS3 fanboy get pissy because I said the only reason for me to get a PS3 was FFXIII? Either way, those are both retarded reasons, and the least retarded that I could think of.

I don't hate PS3 exclusives or the PS3 for the matter, I simply believe that the Xbox 360 is the superior console. As to me not even looking down on PS3 users, I can even understand some of the attraction. In fact, I'm jealous that they have Warhawk and we (the 360 userbase) don't. That game looks like it kicks ass.

I don't really have an allegiance, PC is my platform of choice. But Sony is the underdog and I'd like to see them succeed. Especially when I look back at the PS2 days and how great it was. I don't give a rats ass about Gears or Halo, but if those games went over to the PS3 I'd feel fine with the whole multiplat thing.

It's kudos to Microsoft and Nintendo to even think that the Playstation is the underdog. When you consider the strength of the brand and the domination of the PS2 - it's amazing!

I personally think that Nintendo is the underdog this generation. Sony was the mighty king and then ended up crippling itself with poor decisions.  They're at the same state that Nintendo was in years ago.

Every exclusive Microsoft buys from the PS3 just gives gamers another reason not to own it. Sure, the game will still be on PS3, but why buy another console when you can buy the game on the system you already own.

And because of this, more and more developers will just end up making multiplats, or taking their exclusive IPs to other consoles with larger install bases to make more money.

I should have said PS3, not Sony.

PS3 is the underdog of the trio.

I think it's because one of the *huuuuuuuuge* fallback points of Sony trolls and fanboys is usually "holy shit look at our penis-enhancing exclusives!" That usually gets countered by Microsoft's rabid sports fans yelling "blawgh we has the best multiplatforms, nd we dun brag bout xclusives but we gots em". It's an endless cycle, and when a PS3 exclusive goes to multi-plat, xbots usually go nuts and playstation fans tend to throw their hands up in the air and yell "CURSE YOU TOM GREEN!"

If that makes sense to you. Which it should.

I wish all PS3 exclusives were on 360. I would really love to play games like Killzone 2, MGS4 and WKC on 360. I already have a PS3 but I prefer the 360 over it. None of my friends have a PS3 and most games are boring when you play with people you don't know.

But what can you do? Fanboys will always be ignorant and annoying. I found it best to just laugh and read another thread.

What I hate is how everyone assumes Microsoft paid for these games that were once Sony exclusives. Do you think it could just be the fact that they know they can make more money by also making their game available on the 360? If Wii had hardware like PS3/360 most of these games would be on the Wii aswell.

I'm not saying they didn't buy any but why throw out the possibility that developers saw that they can make even more money by selling their game on 360 and PS3 instead of just PS3?

And then the PC fanboys view their lesser console brethren as Neanderthals who don't deserve any good games, because (of course) they are far superior to us controller wielding retards.

360 has the market share, so anything that means people don't have to buy a PS3 is one more nail in their coffin.

....Meanwhile, the Wii watches the proceedings with a vaguely amused expression on it's face.

I dunno how people can hate on Nintendo. I don't care if I haven't played my Wii for months. They were heading the way of SEGA and they rescued themselves with genius business (and STUPIDLY RISKY) decisions.

Makes you remember how important Pokemon was for Nintendo. Kept the dark days alive.
