I agree, being financial smart isn't being arrogant.

yo XDF, there's a interview with infinity ward where they came out and said it themselves man, i was trying to find out but couldn't because i wanted to feature it in my article, also I should be having something major soon regarding this very article you've watched tonight so stay tuned to that.

The reason for offering this game exclusively was because of the pay out they wanted from sony too work on only the ps3 because they love the architecture and what you can get out of it. that's one of the reasons why infinity ward was one of the first companies to make the ps3 version of a game great instead of broken like other companies during bad port times of ps3

thats a bold face lie your saying there buddy. if IW liked the ps3 there would be cod betas and other good stuff. not subpar graphics and subpar games. let alone the fact they build the game on teh xbox first then on the ps3.

its a known fact IW loves making babies with MS and all the money they toss around to hide the fact there system is crap.

and again where is all the cod beta's and crap? all on xbox.

Sales mean crap. Seriously. The only thing that sales means is there is a high chance that there will be sequel. Did you enjoy UC2? That's all that matters, and it means that you will probably like other games from Naughty Dog, or games like Uncharted, and no I'm talking Gears 2, because that's a shooter, I'm talking Tomb Raider. I did enjoy the first Uncharted, because it was like watching an Indiana Jones movie except for the fact that Drake uses a gun, and I am looking forward to UC2. It reminded me of the last crusade actually to be specific, because Sully was older than Drake, and Drake had a journal to show how to do the puzzles.

Don't make me laugh dude.

It is from Hippopgamer

It is about a multiplatform game

It is also talking about HALO.

How is that a PS3 only article?

So xbox fanboys have every right to say their piece in this article.

Now, go tell that to your PS3 pals that are trolling on all the Forza and Halo reviews the past two months.

Now apologize to my friend Halo3 MLG Pro.

Now

Xbox defense Fierce, always in ps3 articles bashing games you never played. It's funny very funny and really sad at the same time. Have fun sleeping at night knowing you only have one AAA game for 2009, MW2.

followed by ROFL for having a friend in Halo3 MLG Pro. Thats a sad life to live, HALO everything all day long, so SAD!!! Halo is so 90's like some have already stated. Unless you just got an xbox as a gift on your 15th birthday last year. Move on.

Great post m,ate. I'd go further though-people just don't think about the way Halo became SO important to MS do they? It released at a very good time for it to grow among the userbase of the original Xbox and at the time offered what nothing else did on a console shooter.

This informed MS of the importance of getting in first on the console market and led to the rushed release of the 360-this didn't, however, work as well as Halo itself did because many gamers have a relayionship with Sony and Ninty from past generations and weren't as desperate for a hero to rally behind as Xbox gamers were with Halo.

The relationship is symbiotic if you ask me and MS know it-if Halo does well, they do well and they support it however they can as a result throwinga ll kinds of cash at doing so. A huge fanbase, a game which sells their system and a system you nuy to play Halo, no? Sony has NEVER had that kind of game.

Even GT, which is a bigger franchise than Halo if anything isn't AS im,portant to Sony as Halo is to MS or we'd have seen one for the PS3 by now(Prologue doesn't count and is like releasing ODST as the first Halo on 360). Not that when it lands GT5 won't sell loads and sell PS3s, it will, just not at the percentage Halo does for 360.

Halo, then, is in a unique position and should be seen as such. However the merits of one game being SO important to a console are limited at best and is like putting all your eggs in one basket which is why I'd have thought they'd have bought Hears lock stock and barrel by now. One game, even Halo, isn't big enough to warrant and attack on first place in the console race, imo, and the more spread demographic Sony support might be a better bet long term. Imagine, btw, if Bungie or whoever, made a really poor Halo or went too far unpdating it and angered the fanbase? THAT would be a disaster for MS-maybe not for that games sales but for the next one, certainly, and possibly for the health of the series and MS as a console maker.

I'm not digging them out but do think it's a little risky to have one game so important to your console model.

Why can we just stay in the here and now? Everyone knows Sony messed up on a lot of things in its first two years, so we should leave it at that.
