Gameplayer writes: Microsoft are usually the ones associated with opening up the cheque book to secure exclusive content on multiplatform releases, but now Sony has shown its willingness to do the same thing.
"The next-gen console battle is by no means a new thing and just when Sony and Microsoft seemed to be reaching a point where they were looking for new ways to win over new clientele, they've reverted to old tricks. It would seem that having various exclusive titles to wave at each respective opponent's face isn't enough for the two battling companies, as they've both been guilty of forking over funds to secure exclusive content for multiplatform titles."
Backward compatibility works for many games on newer consoles, but titles such as The Simpsons: Hit and Run have been left out.
From base building to swinging willies, here are the best survival games around, which include a couple of less than obvious picks.
It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.
Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.
They're scum.
"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."
Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.
Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.
But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?
Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.
Next gen or current gen?
sony don´t pay for exclusives...
ya right...
it´s how it works.
now what sony fans? the table turn around again?
You think Rockstar leaves 30+ mln. 360 users and sales just out for Agent because of nothing?
Nope, Sony draw the $$$$$ checkbook also. Cut the crap Sony, you paid bucks to get exclusive 3rd party again. And nothing wrong with that in my opinion.
Schick looks and sounds alot like Wilkinson Sword... thats a razor blade btw kids.
It'a business, Sony want you to buy their console. Plus Sony helped Atari out so there might not be a Ghostbusters game without them so they deserve something in return.
