Hurray!! Tekken 6 is on 360 ( ofcourse not happy! )
Though MGS4 pushed PS3 from back alot to make it continue in the race, Sony still didnt learn the importance of exclusives and idioticly lost their another Big Exclusive Tekken...
Let me remember what was lost... Ridge Racer, Ace Combat, Devil May Cry, Grand Theft Auto ( timed exclusive ), Final Fantasy XIII ( actually PS3 lost SquareEnix, so many RPGs ), Virtua Fighter and now Tekken... and PS3 gets 360 exclusives only after 1 year if its lucky... so PS3 is now officially second rate console...
Though i dont care from my point of view, because i wont get 360 anyway and i'm happy with what i get ( MGS4 is alone enough but Uncharted, Motorstorm 2, Little Big Planet, White Knight Story, Valkyrie Chronicles are my happy games
), but from greater view Sony is obviously losing and with the last month's sales, they start to lose even in Japan, thats really big problem.
I believe Little Big Planet will help, because this game will be really huge, but still it seems it doesnt have enough impact to be huge on sales, i see many people says "its not my style" even they accept its goodness. If Killzone 2 turns out to be flop too, PS3 will be buriedafter its death...
So lets pray for PS3 now, it was good console, it has the best game ever MGS4 but still it wasnt enough to stay alive... Rest in Peace now...

mufujifi : well yes they need money, but dont others need money ( MGS4 is from Konami which is not first party ) ? almost one year ago people said MGS4 should sell 1 million on day one to gain profit, they were mocking it because it was still exclusive, but what happened ? MGS4 sold 1.3 million copy ( with Bundle counts ), so even it was exclusive, MGS4 sold greatly. and you'll say it would sell more if it was not exclusive, true, but it wouldnt help PS3 sales which affects the whole market. in a race if both racer wont try to do better, one will be left behind, exclusives help these racers not same things on both...
xriceballx : i see many people cant wait 1 year for a game even with added content, so even they are ported to PS3, its too late, m$ gets everything simultaneously... and yes its about games but games can only advance with quality, which is born from rivaly just like everything else...
Colmillios : i hope so. i dont know what they are thinking but maybe they are trusting first party games more than we think... well actually they are excellent games, Uncharted, God of War, ICO, Shadow of the Colossus ( any Team ICO game
Nightmare-_- : sadly yes...
GreenGoblin2099 : yes, really that rrod is bigger factor that i could imagine, i think its more irritating than i imagine and it happens alot. also when i check 360 forums, they dont talk about rpgs much while on ps3 forums even they dont have any rpg they talk about it... so again i'll say it ...wrong games on wrong platforms... but ofcourse price is still big factor for many...but i believe i got what i paid, i liked ps3 more than i thought.
Zantozzz : i really thought that too but one year advantage and getting all exclusives helped m$ and killed sony ...
SPD_WeBmAsTaH : well i saw 3 topics yesterday, thats how i found it was not exclusive anymore... and many people like me were waiting for Tekken to get instead of other fighthing games... now i'm disappointed and may even get SC4... ah no, i think it wont happen but still i'm disappointed with sony...
DuhQbnSiLo : well you may like it but if majority doesnt like it, it will flop
zxv33 : hehe, i hope you enjoy more, but i'm not into online games much recently, maybe it will be changed in the future again.
don't worry, sony acknowledges the exclusive issue but it is not trying to solve it by money like Microsoft is doing because in the end in case of third party game, they are owned by those companies and can easily end up on another successful console specially if the company is facing financial problems and of course they aren't going to care if that decision is to affect other console makers. So, Sony actually is taking Nintendo's approach by concentrating on first party development because that is the way to preserve a console from demolishing. Right now I'm happy with the games I have on the PS3 and I don't care about any exclusives that go multiplatfrom, but exclusives that leave the console, these are the ones that will affect it badly. That is why sony should keep an eye on those games.
i'm happy with ps3 and its exclusives too but i'm scared just right now with idea of "what if MGS4 would be on 360 too ?". that would kill PS3 but they are lucky this time thanks to Hideo Kojima, Konami wanted to port it but it didnt happen. it was just lucky for PS3, but it happened only once and didnt happen except MGS4. i check 360 forums too and i see people with "there is 0 reason now to get PS3" comments...
no matter how you look at it, Tekken is huge title, its the best fighting game and i dont think even SF can get that title back anymore, sf4 looks ugly imo...
And yeah I can't deny that the PS3 is starting to lose interest in and that Microsoft is doing well this generation and knew very well how to hit Sony hard.
Thankfully, there are still good exclusives and Sony is providing more now. Even if Sony did lose this generation it has to learn from its mistakes and then it would have built a good solid development base.
GreenGoblin2099 : definitely irritating... cant argue with that
jaykho213 : agreed
alidallal : you talk truth
