SCEA: "Exclusivity is something that doesn't truly exist in this cycle"

VG247: SCEA hardware marketing boss John Koller has claimed that console software "exclusivity" was a a last-gen concept, and that higher development costs have forced game-creators to become platform agnostic.

"Exclusivity is something that doesn't truly exist in this cycle," he said. "What does exist is first-party product. That's your exclusive product."

[s8anicslayer]

That's because it's all about the Benjamins baby!

[San Frandisco]

True, First party's FTW!

[urban bohemian]

It just means that Sony and Microsoft will need to buy as many of the now 3rd party developers and turn them into 1st party developers to ensure exclusive games.

Like Microsoft buying Rare etc.

The competition really has changed this generation!

[JokesOnYou]

Just seems like tit for tat to me.

sony: aha, aha, we have more 1st party devs.

micro: aha, aha we have more money to spend on exclusives, timed exclusives and DLC from 3rd parties and oh yeah we can afford to advertise too!

me: Gamers are the real winners.

vvvvv yeah timmyrulz, I think you might have a point, but it could be anything.

JOY

[v1c1ous]

they always complain about microsoft buying 3rd party exclusive deals and such.

but Sony BOUGHT WHOLE COMPANIES. they have a plethora of studios because they could afford them. back then you didn't have big name gaming studios that could practically release their own consoles (EA, Squeenidos). Sony loaded up on companies when they were top dog, because they could afford to do so, and game companies didn't really have a choice.

These days it's more financially sane to spend money on perks (DLC) than whole companies who could produce lackluster titles after you bought them (Rare).

you won't see Sony/Microsoft/Nintendo spend the moola for companies nowadays. it's all about getting exclusive content for your system now.

[ballsofsteel]

@1.4 i'm not sure about you but i think i would rather get a full game that exclusive rather than just some DLC that i have to pay extra for. while the rare acquisition might be a bust sony's 1st party studios have been doing a great job imo. Resistance 1 & 2, R&C, Uncharted, LBP, KZ2, MLB the show. to mention the games that are just around the corner like GOW3, Infamous, Uncharted 2, MAG, Heavy Rain and more coming. I'm sorry but if given the choice between exclusive game versus DLC i gotta take the game especially if it's first part has they generally will take advantage of whatever console they're built on

[Anon1974]

Sony fans know those 1st party studios didn't materialize out of thin air. Sony buys studios. I don't think there was any mystery around that.

They're right about this. Without a ready and willing base of over 100 million consoles to sell too, developers didn't have much choice but to go multiplatform. What I don't understand is the developer's need this gen to make their games look exactly the same across both consoles.
Last gen the Xbox had the horsepower and developers weren't afraid to use it. If you had a choice between a game on the Xbox or the PS2, you'd pick the Xbox because the game would look better, run smoother and generally have been optimised for the Xbox's hardware. This gen you've got developers like Terminal Reality saying if they didn't have to worry about the 360 port they could have twice as much going on on-screen, or Id saying RAGE will be pared back due to the limitations of the older 360 hardware. Who cares? Why not make the game the best you can on each system's hardware without worrying about the other system. The Wii version of Call of Duty WAW wasn't as pretty as the PS3/360 versions but they didn't dumb down the PS3/360 versions to make it easier to make a Wii port. Just make the best damn game on which ever platform you're on, don't worry about the port being inferior. If the game is good people will buy it.

[STK026]

the thing is, Sony buys studios that worked with SCEE/SCEA/SCJ, for years (or atleast on a game or two), these studios aren'T bought without knowing how Sony works since they already used to work with them. And for most studios, Sony is pretty much responsible for their success as they funded and published their work.

[JokesOnYou]

Alot of pro's and con's have been said about both consoles so its easy to only look at some of the negative comments about 360 to justify your theory that its holding devs back, also you're overlooking the fact that the comments about Rage were clarified by Tim Willits:
"As far as game content, I will swear on the lives of my children that nothing was cut,"

"Microsoft is not being d_ckheads," he said. "It was a simple kind of miscommunication. Microsoft does not charge a royalty per disc, but there is a cost of goods that goes along with manufacturing. "
http://www.shacknews.com/fe...

-I must have missed that comment from Terminal Reality, can you give me the link? I'm pretty interested to read that, what game are they talking about; Ghostbusters?, if so I don't know why because from what little I've seen that game isn't exactly pushing either console, what else are they working on for ps3/360 that they could be referring to?

Either way my point is, its not a black & white debate when it comes to game dev and we all could easily pick and choose comments from devs to make a case that ps3 or 360 to fit a certain agenda, just look heres some from the same studio you referenced, ID softwares John Carmack:

"I think the decision to use an asymmetric CPU(Cell) by Sony was a wrong one." -John Carmack

"With the PlayStation 3, it’s not even that it’s ugly--they just took a design decision that wasn’t the best from a development standpoint."
-John Carmack
http://www.gameinformer.com...
-Is he right?

When asked what he would change about the PlayStation 3, he responded, "I probably would have taken the Blu-ray out and sold it for less money." -David Jaffe
http://www.gamedaily.com/ar...
-Is he right?

Theres plenty of off handed comments to take out of context like what about when Assassin's Creed producer Jade Raymond said 360 has better AI capabilities because of its more-capable threading technology vs ps3?
http://www.joystiq.com/2006...
-Is she right?

-Could I make the conclusion based these and plenty other negative comments I read about ps3, that game developers haven't pushed further in some areas because they have to spend alot of time and resources on just figuring out how to get the ps3's difficult tech to run as efficiently as 360?...furthermore could I aslo conclude that when we do see even sonys own 1st party dev push the ps3 that the dev cycle will be extended to 3 or 4+ yrs as we saw with KZ2? EnJOY your day sir.

JOY

[Sayai jin]

@JokesOnYou- Good points, bubbles for you.

[Anon1974]

You're correct, they were talking about Ghostbusters. Here's a bit of the interview here.
http://forums.highdefdigest...

I remember back when the PS3 was first released, one of the analysts predicted this exact thing would happen, that the 360 would hold back PS3 development. I wish I could find that interview again; it was a good read.

Anyway, my point was that we're seeing evidence that the 360 is holding the PS3 back in conjunction with comments from developers. It's not a matter of choosing which developer's statements to quote, we can all see that something's amiss ourselves. We know what the PS3 is capable of due to the excellent first party titles being released that are not being equaled on other platforms so that should make us ask the question "We know it's capable, why aren't more 3rd party games like this?" Comments like Terminal Reality's offer up an answer which matches what the analysts had predicted would happen long before we ever started seeing evidence of this and this explanation certainly fits the facts.

As for ID's "miscommunication" this strikes me as just PR damage control. I remember when an insider at EA leaked that 50% of their launch 360's had failed. He was quickly hushed up and both EA and Microsoft trotted out others to downplay and generally refute those claims. At the time the 360 problems were just rumor but we know now that it's very possible that EA insider was correct. No developer wants to bite the hand that feeds them (except if the hand belongs to Sony, oddly enough).

Edit Below: I think you're way off on that one. I don't think JokesOnYou was being fanboyish. He made some good points. He was just making an observation about how the companies had been behaving. I don't see him anywhere talking about how much the 360 was making, or rrod or any such thing. Maybe you should ease off the throttle there a bit.

[FlameBaitGod]

You clearly dk what you talking about lol, you know how much $ they have lost in law suits and fixing the RROD since the 360 came out ? and now the warranty to cover E74 lol. I doubt they have many $ to spent, did you even hear what M$ ? they close several departments of the 360, if they still have much $ to spent i doubt they would be closing studios and bro you should just leave the fan boy thing, its not healthy bro, you need to accept the truth, is it so hard to accept another piece of plastic is better than the other 1 :( ? Even developers are saying they would have to stop adding stuff to their games because the 360 couldn't handle it. Many devs wouldn't say crap cus of M$ at first, but now we are seeing them come out and talk.

[velaxun]

Jesus Christ on a stick JOY, get a bloody life. who cares about all those quotes? Why do people need to go around spreading FUD in order to justify their purchases or even their existence. Seriously, they're video games mmkay? Everybody gets the same sh!t, and it's still fun to play. Give it a rest already

[Mini Mario]

"That's because it's all about the Benjamins baby! "

Sad but, .. true.

[panasonic23]

lol they might have more exclusive than MS and Nintendo but i can name 3 games from MS or Nintendo and they outsold all of sony exclusive combine.

[LarVanian]

Lol sales is all that matters to you isn't it?

[solidjun5]

^_^

I get the feeling that this interview is old. But whatever.

[OmarJA]

Another salesman bot... :D

[ultimolu]

...What the f*ck is wrong with you guys and sales? So heaven forbid a game doesn't sell five million in one day or a week, it's a flop?

Sweet God, do you guys play games like you claim you do?

[LeGenDx]

an i play sales

[Stryfeno2]

If something doesn't sell, then it doesn't generate any money/profit...Thus, the product, more then likely, will be extinct.

[heyheyhey]

@Patchstation 3

and yet... Beyond Good & Evil is getting a sequel

your logic fails.. as always

sales don't denote a game's quality, they denote what is accessible for the masses and/or what has garnered a big fanbase over the years to make up for a lack of accessibility (a la MGS)

PS3 exclusives sell well enough to ensure serialization... you don't need Halo or Gears Of War numbers to succeed

i wonder what the excuse of choice will be for bots when GT drops?

[rucky]

Then answer this, if exclusive PS3 game sales are crap like you xbots make it out to be then why do they still constantly announce brand new exclusive PS3 games whilst M$ hasn't announce jacked sh!t so far this year.

[ultimolu]

Patchstation, playing the f*cking game and judging for yourself whether it's good or bad is important as well.

Some of the greatest games of all time didn't sell five million in one day.

[timmyrulz]

I get the impression from this article that something is on the Horizon that will p1ss off Sony fanboys, something like mgs5 going multiplatform?

[LarVanian]

That wouldn't piss me off, because I could still play the game on PS3.

However it would piss me off if MGS5 was announced as a 360 exclusive that would never come to PS3.

[PirateThom]

I doubt it, I think it's just Koller bashing Microsoft again.

[lloyd_wonder]

MGS5? Is that really unexpected?

[Danja]

Exactly they ar basically throwing it in M$ face that they have more 1ST Party exclusives , something they dont have at the moment

[poopsack]

yeah thats probably it, and when microsoft said they werent competing with nintendo I thought it was because something that would piss off MS fanboys was gonna happen, something like Nintendo buying the xbox division? Do I sound like a total dumbass jumping to conclusions?

[raztad]

If Kojima is in charge, dont count on it. But probably he will not so it is a possibility. It's even more possible to expect a year later release of MGS4 on the 360, thought I doubt it will make economic sense, cause it could go the Bioshock route when was released later on the PS3.

BTW, wtf with the prices of 2007 Sony exclusive games? I really want to buy Heavenly Sword, but the damn game is 2 years old and as amazing as it could be it's at most 8 hours long. I just cant justify to pay a full 60$ pricetag for this one. What a shame, gonna get it second hand.

[ape007]

don't have intentions to buy exclusive games

sony should do that,secure games damnit

all I want that gta 5 be a ps3 exclusive not because im a fanboy,but because of the blu ray

[Danja]

I agree Ape I would love to see GTA5 PS3 exclusive just so R* can actually make the game they wanted , and actually redeem themseleves from the crap that was GTA4.

and some JRPG's wouldn't hurt also

[xdye017]

something tells me that SCEA is afraid of M$'s secret third-parties that we don't know about.

[Shane Kim]

Something tells me that MS doesn't have jack sh!t.

[Bnet343]

Something tells me I will go outside and play with my wee wee tonight. :)

[Etseix]

somthing tells me that if M$ dont show anything good at E3. all the xbox fanboys will be ashamed of themselves :P

[solidjun5]

bubbles up. lol

[Dark360]

BUUUHHHHHHH...AHHHHHHHH.BUUUUU UUUUU.AHHHHHHHHHHHH

[ultimolu]

Exclusives shows off what your system can do, not multipaltform games.

[Omega4]

I think someone knows a certain game is going multiplatform.......

My bet is a certain someone asked them if they want it to remain exclusive you gotta pay but they obviously said no, so now they're trying to cushion the blow which is coming at E3

[ultimolu]

How is it a blow when you can still play it on your system if it goes multiplatform?

[PirateThom]

Epic win!

Microsoft have a multiplatform game!

Obviously because it's multiplatform it can only be played on 360.

[Omega4]

Well if it were something like say MGS4, it would be a blow because Sony they themselves said it couldnt be done anywhere else so it would make them liars and it would make others think "is the PS3 really that much more powerful?"

[raztad]

@Omega

What game could it be? funny. There arent so many exclusive third party games on any platform by now. Last time I see it, xbox was the one loosing some exclusives (Sigma2 and ToV).

EDIT: Guys you are really fast. You answered my question even before posting it. hehehhehe. MGS4? could be, but it doesnt really matters anyway. Almost every MGS fan already got it.

[sack_boi]

Who cares if it's a "lost exclusive" or whatever? It's not like you can't play the game on your system anymore (FFXIII for instance).

[Unicron]

I thought MGS4 was "just a bloated, overrated movie?" Why should PS3 owners care about Xbox 360 owners getting "leftovers?"

Man, the flip flopping this generation is disgusting.

[Karum]

Sony did say it can only be done on PS3 but you have to remember that what they mean is that in it's current form it can only be done on PS3. It could of course be done on 360 but it would either be "dumbed" down or across multiple discs or perhaps even both.

Now would it bother me if MS took a one time Sony exclusive like MGS4? Not at all, it's not like Sony exclusives are hard to come by and it isn't like those exclusives aren't awesome games eiher because they are. In fact my favourite games this gen on both PS3 and 360 are all exclusives to their respective system so taking another 3rd party published game multi-plat won't bother me one little bit.

It might infuriate a bunch of rabid fanboys and there will of course be other retards on this site (among many others) rubbing it in Sony fanboy's faces but all that means very little, at least to me anyway.

[SoapShoes]

Sony knows Gears 3 is going multiplatform. Ok, moron, get real. When Microsoft says stuff, is that because they know Sony is going to deliver a blow to them? People these days.

So far it has been true and the only one screwed is Microsoft because they have no real 1st party base and with PS3 doing so well in hardware and software now, they won't be able to so easily convince companies to go exclusive even with a check.

[Zeus Lee]

Fixed.

I don't think Sony fans would care that much,too many games in 2009 and 2010 to look forward to.

[ultimolu]

I wouldn't be surprised anyway. Nothing surprises me anymore. When someone is desperate to outdo their competition, anything can happen.

[Rmagnus]

i got a feeling VC will be heading to 360 but i have already finished it just waiting on the dlc

[LeGenDx]

i still need to play VC, burnout, naruto storm,sf4 ( havent got all the characters). lbp

i almost got platium in resistance, killzone 2, sf4

my god and so many other gmaes coming out in 09

[Pennywise]

Does anyone really care if the 360 gets our sloppy seconds over a year later? We all know it will be downgraded quality on multiple discs.... If this is going to be the only way these gamers can experience MGS4... let them. It needs to be experienced by all gamers.

Although, I dont think this statement has anything to do about foreshadowing a 3rd party exclusive going over to the 360.

[raztad]

@magnus

I find highly unlikely VC moving to the 360. It just doesnt make sense, unless SEGA got a very tasty paycheck from MS, because Japan is the strongest market for this type of game and you know how good the 360 is doing over there.

[Sir Ken_Kutaragi]

Sounds like the 'xBox 360'!!! ;-D

Sorry i meant 'ChatBox 360'!!! ;)

PS3 has the BEST of both!!! ;-P

[-MoOkS-]

$ony is just using that as an excuse, because they have very little exclusives.
They have let sooo many PS exclusives go over to xbox this gen. Developers also realised that the ps3 would be dead last, so they decided to go with the better console ( 360 ) instead of risking losing money on the failstation 3.

[OmarJA]

Another retarded comment from PP but thanks for making me laugh though, enjoying Ninja Blade ?... :D

"so they decided to go with the better console ( 360 ) instead of risking losing money on the failstation 3."

Yeah that's why most 360 exclusives is coming to the PS3 with exclusive content... :D

[solidjun5]

Meh, he can say whatever. Won't be the first time he said something loony.

[Foxgod]

Is sony preparing the sony fans this way for losing more exclusives soon ?

gow3 ?
FF13v ?
GT5 ?

[OmarJA]

GoW & GT are owned by Sony... :D

[solidjun5]

You didn't just mention the God of War series and Gran Turismo did you?

You did?!?!?!
Sometimes I wonder how many times you fall on your head every morning.

[Etseix]

solidjun@
u mean *how many times u fail in your head*?

[Darrius Cole]

....Right after Halo and Forza come to PS3.

[heyheyhey]

whatever alleviates your extreme jealousy and desire for those games :)

[Nexy]

SONY lost so many exclusives this generation and keep losing them. What else can the guy say apart from the usual PR thrashtalk?

[TheTwelve]

Microsoft has also lost a lot of exclusives and keeps losing them, ironically enough.

12

[LeGenDx]

just curious, i can only name one on the top of my head ff13

[Nexy]

MS lost much fewer exclusives than SONY and they were much less important commercially. Comparing these two situations is simply ridiculous.

[Rmagnus]

DMC4, RE5 FF13, Star ocean hmm thats about all i can think off atm. No idea why people act like losing an exclusive is the end of the world? I mean its still muti so you still get to play it no? besides starocean thats is, but after the "twist" in star ocean 3 i really doubt i will be picking up SO4 even if it comes on ps3.

[Ricegum]

DMC, RE, FF13 & Tekken are the big ones, GTA was kinda multi anyway...

I think when PS3 games have gone multi it has been a much bigger deal, as some of which are big titles that made the Playstation brand big in previous gens. When a Microsoft game goes multi it's not so big, for example, Bioshock, Lost Planet, Tales of Vesperia...Also, was COD once a 360 exclusive? Timed? I can't remember...

[LeGenDx]

i didnt really like dmc so you guys can have that =) as for RE it was also on the gamecube >_< and also i think star ocean was never exclusive to one system, it was on the ds,snes.

ight good day, imma sleep

[SoapShoes]

I don't see how anyone can call Resident Evil a lost exclusive when most of the PS2 era it was exclusive on the GameCube and we never got an exclusive new title(aside from some spin offs). Code Veronica was on Dreamcast first, RE4 was on GC first.

RE1 was on Saturn, RE2 was on N64, all of them were ported to Dreamcast and GameCube.

[phosphor112]

MGS
Uncharted
Warhawk
Resistence
Killzone
MotorStorm
LBP
Gran Tourismo

...oh wait...

[Karum]

What PR trashtalk are you talking about? There isn't really anything in the article that is false.

Developers, when asked will always use the fact that dev costs being higher this gen as a reason as to why games cost $60 this gen. Games are going multi plat because devs and publishers need to maximize revenue, especially now with the current climate.

If MGS5 is announced at E3 I won't be surprised if it is multi-plat and the reason will be down to Konami needing to make enough money to cover the costs of development, publishing and marketing and also to make a profit.

[HDgamer]

For morons saying that sony lost DMC exclusivity after 4 is very wrong. DMC3 was multiplatform. Resident Evil was also multiplatform so thats two things you failed.

[TheTwelve]

...if all games were exclusive to one console or another. I'm all for competition as it drives everyone involved to be better. All of this sharing crap waters-down the quality.

12

[LeGenDx]

gaming so be evolving but its just staying the same like last gen, its due to uhmmm imo dvd9, if games were made on blu-ray it would be a different story

[Rmagnus]

thats where all the first party games of sony shine.. i just finished GOW2 again on titan... it's crazy... I am more hyped for GOW3 than ever!!!

[Karum]

I think it isn't just about Blu-Ray, of course the extra space is an awesome thing but it is probably more to do with the raw power of the CPU and how it interacts with the GPU (talking about PS3 here). Of course you integrate those things with the space of BR and how it works to give the end result.

[ForROME]

MS is the only one who leads this convo, both Nintendo and SONY have strong 1st party, their investment is there, MS is weak 1st party and strong 3rd party, so that makes sense

[SmokedOut]

Sadly another thing that barely exist with sony is advertising, there marketing sucks.When comparing each consoles commercials on tv sony is definitely in last place.

[Rmagnus]

lucky i don't pay too much attention on ads more intrested in playing games

[Whoooop]

Their way of saying:

Mass Effect 2 is coming to the PS3 b*tches!!!!

;)

[ravinash]

As much as I wish it were true, I don't think thats going to happen.
Still, I'll just play it on PC.

[Zeus Lee]

The Xbox 360 lost 2 exclusives last month,are you sure you want to bring exclusivity into discussion in 2009?

[Unicron]

He's right. So many titles have gone multiplatform from both systems. It's just the way of the world, as game development costs are hitting an all time high, you need to reach the largest fanbase possible. If it means more good games and keeps quality studios afloat, no one should be complaining. I still don't think people realize how few titles make back their money or how few titles hit 1 million units sold.

[Strife Lives]

LOL. ok,back to the topic here.Hes right to a certain degree,If you want Forza,you'd get a 360.if you want GT5,you'd get a PS3.if you want Modern Warfare 64329,you chose based on what console you own.In nother words,1st party games get you to buy a certain console now,I have a ps3 and 360,but just got my PS3 last December.Its all about choice.I do believe by the end of this cycle,we'll see most of us would own a PS3 and 360 anyway.

[Chuk_Chuk]

1.A PS3 exclusive is going to the 360 as well.
2.A multiplatform game is going exclusive to the 360 because MS got out their cheque books.
3.A 360 game is no longer exclusive cause MS is feeling the affects of the reccesion and can't afford to get there cheque books out.

[Rob0g0rilla]

I'm not a huge fan of DLC to begin with. I rather have more real exclusive games and not the timed exclusive games that come out on the other system with everything you paid for and more. That's a trend that were seeing more often. It's really a lie and slap in the customers face.

[Rhezin]

you truly are all f!cking stupid! That's just a fact now! I'm seriously starting to think whether you idiots have passed middle school yet.

[Chuk_Chuk]

You guys are hillarious, you keep chatting crap it makes me laugh

[Strife Lives]

Exclusive DLC is whats making them rip us off,just like every kid last gen wanting them to update with new levels etc,we didnt think they'd rip us off with it,by leaving out what should be there.Im sorry,if I look at the people that bought The Lost And The Damned DLC for GTA4,it sold 1 million times.Those people help make it worse for gaming.Next Gta,they'd be sure to leave out,what they know you want,just so you can buy it later.Im sick of DLC. . .some people say,dont buy if you dont want it,but with DLC,unlike an election.the minority that buys it,screws over the majority that didnt.

[Chuk_Chuk]

So true. All games devlopers do is leave bits out of the main game then add it later as so called "DLC".

[velaxun]

L&D is a little different though, that's a legitimate expansion to GTA4. L&D is to GTA 4 as Lord of Destruction is to Diablo II. I have no problem with DLC like that, something that fleshes out a game more, like new maps for shooters, not that bs that EA has been pulling with NFS.

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

Thats because you don't have anymore

[heyheyhey]

i see you've officially resorted to bullsh!t... well done!

fact: PS3 has more true exclusives than Xbox 360, and that isn't only pertinent to 1st party exclusives as well

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

You been living under a rock or did you miss last years E3? Whats the only 3rd party exclusive you have? MGS4, yup thats it. all the others have gone multiplat. 360 still has ME and L4D (and about 10 more) Oh wait... you will just say "I'll get em for PC to play on my Windows OS" You droids are ding bats no wonder you love Sony.

BTW where is your exclusive GTAIV, Fallout 3, and TR expansions?

[Araceae]

Wow, really. I saw E3 last year, and besides Gears and Fable I saw MS parade out multiplatform games one after another during their keynote. What did I see in SONY’s. Oh, that’s right... exclusives. Most 3rd party games are multiplatform already or are going to be. It is funny that MS fanboys need to cling to the fading hope of 3rd party exclusives to bolster the ranks of their upcoming gaming library while SONY just keeps announcing new games. Also, if the game is on PC it isn’t exclusive so stop trying to claim it is.

[OmarJA]

Guys don't pay any attention to Jassey 360 he's just another retarded butt fu_cked xbot... :D

[heyheyhey]

funny.. bots are so desperate for games they choose to believe that typical PR statements are somehow mutliplatform announcements..

[Obama]

They are already desperate when they talk about sales figure most of the time and hype crap games like ninja blade as killer exclusive.
They are already hyping another crap game - ninety-ninety 2 right now, and when it flops they will deny that they have ever hype it up.

[Snatcher]

Because I'm bored of PS3.

[bob saget remix]

I don't think you own anything. Your probably just some bum who goes to your local library and uses there computers to brag how amazing the 360 is. Thats my guess. I guess you probably own a cardboard box to sleep in. Or found one at least. You just keep on keeping on.

[cyclindk]

It seems strange to say such a thing when so many huge titles on either side make up a large part (arguably the largest part) of each year's biggest hits, not to mention best selling, i.e. Halos, Gears, MGSs, et cetera.

[Shnazzyone]

"we can't afford much exclusive content anymore. Expect everything to come for ps3 to also be on PC and 360."

Well i guess you can still brag about your high def movies and home.

[Bumpmapping]

Did you also pack up your brain?!
