Resident Evil 5 PS3 exclusivity chatter resurfaces again

Rumours that Resident Evil 5 will be a PS3 exclusive have resurfaced once more, with reports in the Japanese games media alleging that that the 360 version of Capcom survival horror epic has been dropped.

However, Capcom has itself refuted the allegations, saying the reports were erroneous and that the title will, as announced, be released on the PS3 and 360.

This isn't the first (nor will it be the last) time we've seen this sort of speculation, but could it actually happen?

1 - It's Capcom.

They've already said they will be doing multiplats from now on. That's why DMC4 is on 360 now.

Capcom will be shooting themselves in the foot if they release RE5 exclusivly on the PS3.

They have sold millions of copies of Lost Planet and Dead Rising on the X360, and they've done well in Japan as well.

I can see Dead Rising and Lost Planet coming to the PS3 soon though soon!

Yeah just like Res 4 was excusive to Gamecube. If Capcom did this its like throwing money away. They already have 2 platinum sellers on 360 in Lost Planet and Dead Rising which were'nt pre-existing franchises. This may be crossing they're minds now but it will change once they see how much the 360 version of DMC4 outsells the PS3 one like crazy and this thought will soon be a distant memory.

P.S. People can flame and disagree with me all they want the facts are the facts

I think the ps3 is the bigger flop, it's selling worse than the gamecube after 2 years. The 360 never really had a chance, but least their games are selling.

Capcom would risk losing serious amounts of money if this was done. Especially considering how much money they made off Lost planet and dead rising which has both sold close to 2 million each.

Please ignore bootsielon, he's just a retarded sony fanboy from joystiq.com

We know sony fantards like bootsielon would love that. Did anyone expect the 360 to dominate in japan? No. Sony on the otherhand...is getting raped by the wii. The f-in gameboy advance outsold it. LOL

Capcom isn't stupid enough to make it a ps3 exclusive. They actually want to make a profit. LOL

15 - FUNNY FUNNY PEOPLE

rapped by wii, in what way the wii isnt in the next gen era, or the middle gen era, it is post gen and a small upgrade from gaycube, and you say that the 180 version of dmc will outsell the ps3 version, why? because the 180 fans will all buy the game, just to make it look as if the game is selling better on the ps3, because of the higher amount of 180s out there, that is the only way that the 180 can ever outsell ps3 with dmc, and nice job microsoft, you are the best at bribing companies to share games with your 180 that would usually be on ps3, to bad microsoft whats wrong cant win with your own games, to bad last gen even when you were doing what you are doing this time, you still got rapped, it will come again, and there are so many games comming for ps3, starting at e3 that you can forget the 180 getting at all, unless there was a supercomputer upgrade for the 180 that is, wii is only selling because of 3 simple things, its incredibly cheap, and weak, and comes with free games, that sure makes since that it would sell good, for now that is, that will dwindle off very shortly, after e3 people will see the side of ps3 that we ps3 fans and sony have told you about so long, and ps3 will never hardly be seen on store shelves again, wii or wiik? which one

yeah... so that's pretty clever about the whole calling it 180 ha man that must of took you forever to think of. Oh man and the gaycube riot... plus if you are so into fixing names for what you think is true why the lowercase ps3? Shouldn't it be PS3 so it stands out more and to show off it's greatness in caps? Just a suggestion
also as 15.1 pointed out this is about RE5 rumors... bad rumor non-the-less for I'm pretty sure it's been said many times that this is PS3/360 game anywho...

I do not see this game being exclusive. I wish it would be though. I would so like to see why Blu Ray is needed. As of right now the PS3 games do not use that much space. In no way am I bashing the PS3. I like it I even own it. But at the same time I own a 360 and many things that are on the PS3 could just as easily be on the 360 or the other way around. I think that at the same time as it would be cool to be an exclusive at this point in time I do not see Capcom going this way.

There have been many exclusive games on the 360 as of late and they have sold well for Capcom and they are smart they want money more then what fanboys want. Also Capcom has said in the past they want to target more gamers in the West and with there past games they have.

So they know people that buy the 360 like games like these. Lost Planet and Dead Rising sold over a Million for Capcom and so if any thing the 360 would get the exclusive rights to the game and I for do not see that happening. Sony knows Resident Evil was a big hit on the PS2 so in no way would they let this game be an exclusive. So I see this game on both systems. Like it or hate it. This is how I see it playing out.

huntersville came along. Wow dude, do you paint yourself blue and jerk off to krazy ken and phil? You got sony's c*ck so far up your as it must tickle your brain. HAHA. Seriously, your the worst of the worst.
The 360 DMC WILL sell way more. Why? Because there aren't enough ps3's sold, and way more 360's out there. Its the truth just accept it. Capcom knows this thats why they went multiplatform, to MAKE MONEY DUMBASS. Im not gona comment on the rest of your sonysucker rant, its just so pathetic.

Capcom is whoring Resident Evil 4 for every console (First GC exclusive, then PS2, then PC, then Wii, then...). The same fate awaits RE5. PS3, 360, PC and maybe Wii.

25 - I dont think.

I dont think Blu Ray has any real meaning to making games just make more disks for the other consoles. What's the big deal. Remember the old PSOne days Final Fantasy 7,8,9 they were multiple disks so I dont see the relevance of a exclusive Resident Evil 5 it will be popular on both sides.

Bloodmask - 937 days 3 hours ago

26 - Yes, resident evil five will be multi

because 360 has over three times the userbase. It doesn't make sense to even develop a PS3 eclusive based on those facts alone. Why make potentially 1/3 the profits. The only 3rd party exclusives you will most likely see on PS3 are frome Square or Konami bc Sony has paid them or Sony is blowing there skin flute. Why do you think you see such outrageous claims about Silent Hill 5(can only be done on PS3, Bluray is necessary.) Why would a third party toot Son'y horn unless they were being paid.) When multiplatform development makes so much more financial sense. Business is business just like in any other market.

....And how can fanboys be such hypocrites. 3rd party eclusives are based on the userbase not on superior hardware. The only reason the PS2 had so many exclusives last gen is because it had a user base that was 4 times any other console, and the actual hardware specs of the original xbox were higher, as well as the gamecubes. The power of a system has nothing to do with exclusives so stop stating that when they unleash the "true power" of the PS3 it will get all these exclusives. No it won't. Not unless these unforseen powers can multiply sales by about 5 times and lower the price by about half.

So basically Capcom themselves stated that its RE5 is slated for both the PS3 and the 360. I don't even see what the issue is at this point because nothing new has come to light.
I don't even know how its news really, but I guess people like to hear about every little exchange that is had regarding a high profile game such as this so I digress. Game on......

Their games will do just as well on the 360 as the PS3 once sales pick up. For you to say capcom love how well their games are doing on 360 is incredibly one sided considering those games were released before the PS3 was out

well i basically i think he is saying capcom loves the dough. and right now 360 is bringing in the dough! not to say ps3 wont in the future once sales picks up, and it will. but right now, more units will be sold for 360, for obvious reasons such as consoles out there...
which means more profit for capcom.
how is that one sided. i dont know.
