Sony's Lost Exclusives: A Timeline

[Perfect Stu]

Personally, I don't see the big deal. They're not losing these games period (save Fatal Inertia and Katamari), just the exclusivity. Sure, that takes away some potential customers but as a gamer it's all good. I know a large percentage of people here want to see Sony fail, and fail hard, but to me it would only really be news if the games were cancelled for PS3. Third party exclusives are things of the past, Nintendo Microsoft and Sony will need to lean more on their first party developers.

As times go on companies change. Just look at all the 3rd party exclusives Nintendo had in the NES/SNES ages. The speculation about future games is believeable only because it seems to be reasonable for this age in time, but if they want to make the best games they can make they'll probably stick with Ps3.

For FF and MGS.. well, Kojima said himself multiple times that the game MGS4 is going to be Ps3 exclusive, I'll take his word for it. He didn't rule out, however, the possibility of other MGS games going to 360.. its just MGS4 that he claimed to be Ps3 exclusive.

And for FF, besides the obvious FFXI, and the 10 year later ports of the older FF games... how many times has a FF game not been exclusive for one system at its initial release?

Not saying that them porting can't possibly be true, but in the end I'd believe something straight out of the horse's mouth over some websites that actually want these games to no longer be exclusive. The horse has spoken on MGS, FF hasn't been comfirmed yet.. and if its not at E3 probably no reason to lean on the rumors.
