About damn time... I have never quite understood the whole loyalty thing, i mean it is nice and very awesome to have a friendly partnership with a developer like the whole Rockstar/Sony thing but when you lose games through being far to understanding its just a kick in the teeth.

Waits for the Insomniac, Inconito, Team ICO and Suckerpunch buyouts to happen after the new policy goes through, they need to have a line up of developers that matches the teams that Microsoft have under their Game Studio's brand.

too late, all the quality exclusives have picked their side.

Although its about time they re think their strategy. However MS can always out bid Sony.

I do think GT will stay exclusive. With or without money. But I agree. It is about time Sony started paying for exclusives. In my oppinion, Microsoft were lucky that Sony didn't buy GTA or DMC. Otherwise, the Xbox wouldn't be doing as well. IMO. I'm not a fany boy btw. ¬¬.

Took long enough to get their heads out of their asses. They have to realize that their PS3 is not nearly as popular as the PS2 and thus they need to work at making the PS3 the superior console if they want to get anywhere, and to do that they need exclusives, its the most important aspect of a console that sets it apart from its competitors.

Immediately, I would say these fools are just a little bit late to the party, but thinking about it a little more, I think Sony is in a good position right now. You have to look inside the numbers. XBOX 360 is not that far ahead of PS3 right now, its less than 6 million units in front, and Metal Gear Solid 4 isn't out yet. Neither is Final Fantasy XIII. I think its a good idea for Sony to lock down what they can in the future, because thats obviously when they are going to have to beat Microsoft.

So many gamers who don't understand the business expected PS3 to come out and immediately beast the competition, based on the strength of the PlayStation2. PS2 sold 120 million units over 7 years, and its still selling. Its not logical to think that PS3 would put up these same numbers so soon, however I feel that with all the bad press, the "overpriced" PS3, with the lack of software support, has done a decent job of hanging around, so to speak. With what looked like a landslide for the 360 early on, Microsoft really hasn't pulled away as much as I think they needed to, and if Sony is anywhere near them by the time this year is done, I think they have a great chance in the future of moving in front.

Hmm, I never got where all the "OH NOZ SONZE R LOZING EXCLUSIVES" cam from. They lost a few at the beginning but I don't recall any noteworthy PS3 that has gone multiplatform or 360 exclusive any time recently. If people examined the 360 it too has lost several exclusives

GTA4, DMC4, and others I might have missed along the way

Yeah but those happened ages ago, when was the last time Sony lost a exclusive recently? 360 has lost more than a few titles themselves including Lost Planet, Bioshock, Saints Row 2 and Haze. So why do people instantly point the finger at Sony and say that the PS3 lost all its exclusives to the 360?

Maybe because of GTA. After all, before this gen, GTA has always been a timed exclusive for Sony. GTA is the game that everyone knows about, so of course it will appear as a major loss to Sony.

Ace Combat was a huge series for PS2, but AC6 was 360 exclusive. However, the reason behind the switch was reasonable and smart.

From the sound of it, we will be hopefully getting new 'exclusive' content for multi-ports as well
