I just got another EGM magazine today and read thru the rumors page...
here's what it says:
Dough rising
If you remember a few months back(October issue if you are alittle brain dead), I had a tidbit that the reanimated return of Dead Rising would land exclusively on the PS3. Well seems Sony's plans met an early grave. Yep, my undead sources tell me that Microsoft delivered a marvelous moneyhat to Capcom in order to keep Dead Rising 2 an Xbox360 exclusive.
Crossing Platforms
Before the PS3 joined the console race, Sony's beefy system gobbled up a bunch of great exclusives like Metal Gear Solid 4, Devil May Cry 4, and Virtual Fighter 5. But now that publishers are seeing the system sales, the thought of exclustivity aint so lucrative anymore. In fact I caught wind many PS3 "exclusives" will either be pushed to 2008 or will also appear on Xbox360 to cover both the development costs and small user base of the PS3.
Now we've seen that Virtual Fighter 5 (Sega) is coming to the Xbox360 later this year...thats why we kept hearing a sea of rumors on MGS4's (Konami) possible port to the Xbox360 so even if Sony died trying to pay Konami a zillion bucks, Konami proably wouldnt care less and just port it to other consoles as they like. And with the success sales on Dead Rising (and possibly Lost Planet) on the Xbox360, it would be no surprise that Capcom likes to show off DMC4 on the Xbox360 as well.
Keep your eyes peeled.
