"Exclusive" here means MICROSOFT exclusives
It's Microsoft's business strategy to put their "exclusives" on both Xbox 360 and Windows. They did that even for their crown jewels Halo and KOTOR, even when they did not have to. It's their CHOICE to put their exclusives on Windows. So, they're still Microsoft's exclusives because Microsoft secures that titles to make sure they don't go to Sony PS3.

On the other hand, if let say Microsoft loses a title because somehow Sony is managed to snatch it away from them, then you can say it's not an "exclusive."

For whatever reason, Microsoft seems to think of that as a good business strategy. I'm not about to fault Microsoft for a business strategy that they pursue because they think it's in their best interest to get their "exclusives" on both PC and Xbox 360.

It's the choice they make. It's within their control. Unlike, let say, Sony lost Devil May Cry 4 to Xbox 360, that's not the choice Sony made. That's out of Sony's control.

The main and most important point here is: If it's a Microsoft's "exclusive", that means Sony is not getting them -- because Microsoft makes sure PlayStation doesn't get them. View

That would be a GREAT move for Microsoft
Microsoft really NEEDS to do that.

That one single move alone would immediately gives Xbox 360 a huge boost and advantage over the PS3; and right now, Microsoft really needs to make a big, spectacular move to rejuvenate Xbox 360.

C'mon, Microsoft, forget about Yahoo. Buying Yahoo seems like a AOL-Time-Warner kinda deal. Buy Epic instead, and the government wouldn't even bother to block the deal. View

If Tosiba denies it
Then their share prices will suffer.

Seems like their investors/shareholders want the management to stop wasting money and drop HD DVD as soon as possible. View

Maybe we won't hear that
Maybe this is the last statement Toshiba will make on this matter, and after this they will just quietly give up.

To "save face", you know. View

I found this review on GameRanking, and I have to say it's a very POORLY written review.

The reviewer is basically just comparing the DS remake to the original GBA game, which was one of his favorite games. Therefore, his viewpoint becomes burdened and influenced by his nostalgia for the old game. He basically wrote the review based on a comparison between the DS and GBA versions.

As such, and I find his review to be useless because I have never played either game. His comparison doesn't make sense to me because I don't have the original game as the reference. It's only useful for people who have played the original, so they'd know what the comparison is about. View

Tom's Games looked at each title's pedigree, including the developer talent and track record as well as previous titles if the game is a sequel."

You should look at the track record of the Killzone series and its developer Guerilla.

BOTH Killzone and Guerilla have an underwhelming track record. There is nothing in their history that suggests Killzone 2 will be a good game other than being just very pretty.

Killzone 1 also had killer graphics (for its time) and killer trailers before the game came out. But then the actual game came out, and the game was... underwhelming at best. This whole Killzone 2 pre-release hype is really the same old tune all over again. View

86 is not "just below triple AAA". As I've said, it's just an "above average" game.

Well, since Huxley on Xbox 360/PC is technically a MMOFPS, so it can have hundreds of players online at once. But then I suppose you'd say Huxley does not count unless it's "downgraded" to the "60-player" level of Resistance 2. View

Actually, the author Rob Wright owns every console that has ever existed including those from before he was born, that includes the very first Atari. He said so himself in a video.

i.e., He has a weekly webcast called "Second Take" in which he talks about video games. View

Killzone 2 and Resistance 2 are not on anyone's list except dieheard PS3 fans
"Tom's Games looked at each title's pedigree, including the developer talent and track record..."

BOTH the Killzone series and its developer Guerilla have a HORRIBLE track record. There is nothing in their history that suggests Killzone 2 will be a good game other than being just very pretty.

"... as well as previous titles if the game is a sequel."

The first Resistance game is average or above average but nothing spectacular or earthshaking. View

StarCraft is the national religion of South Korea.

As far as I know, Metal Gear Solid has not reached that status in any country.

StarCraft has ONE game (two if you count the expansion,) but that one game alone most likely outsold the entire Metal Gear Solid series, all games combined. View

They are making Frontlines: Fuel of War, for which the PS3 version was canceled because they complained the PS3 programming was too difficult and therefore expensive. View

Actually, Xbox 360 is still selling out most everywhere -- at least in the US it is. I've just visited the shopping mall and a couple of video game stores last night. The only model available was the cheap 'o Arcade. Premium and especially Elite was nowhere to be found last night. View

A month ago I was saying that Xbox 360 seemed to be selling out everywhere I went, and people (or just the Sony fanboys) denied it and suggested that I was lying. View

Third-party games haven't sold well on Wii because...
they SUCK?

Maybe they should blame themselves instead of Nintendo. View
