Sony & Their Lost Exclusives

The guys over at PSU posted an article on the PlayStation 3, and it's lost exclusives, and it's gained exclusives. They basically explain how Sony could of kept them. Lets look at the list of lost exclusives.

- Assassin's Creed (According to Newsweek, Sony played the waiting game and lost because Microsoft jumped in and offered generous terms for Assassins Creed to be multiplatform)
- Bladestorm: Hundred Years War
- Devil May Cry 4 (Capcom states they want to share the love on all systems... but games like Dead Rising clearly show they are willing to do exclusives)
- Dynasty Warriors 6
- Fatal Inertia
- Mercenaries 2 World in Flames (Publisher EA made the choice to move the game to multiplatform)
- The Wall (Little is known about the title but in a recent interview Play Ten revealed that The Wall will now be coming to the Xbox 360)
- Unreal Tournament 3 (Once only announced as a PS3 and PC title, Epic switched and now has Xbox 360 as a listed platform for 08)
- Virtua Tennis 3
- Virtua Fighter 5 (fans were asking for a 360 version, and developers really wanted to make it, so they gave in)
The next list are titles that could have been released on the same date if Sony would of pushed out their development kit faster and offered up some cash.
- Bioshock (We've been hearing that Bioshock may be hitting the PS3 this next spring)
- Medal of Honor Airborne (Out now on Xbox 360 but pushed back till November for PS3)
- The Elder Scrolls Oblivion (PS3 version a year later)
- F.E.A.R. (Delayed on PS3)
- Stranglehold (Delayed on PS3)
- Two Worlds (Two Worlds The Temptation is due out sometime next year, Top Ware is currently working on a concept piece for SCEA to approve)
- GRAW 2
- Rainbow Six Vegas
- Monster Madness: The EX
- DiRT
- Fight Night Round 3
The list could keep going. But as you, me, and the PSU reporter can see is that Sony has missed out and cost the PlayStation 3 owners time, waiting for months while XBox 360 users are already enjoying the games. All the PSU reporter has to say is WTF Sony? And you can count my questioning in on that too.
