Dead Space Extraction didn't have great sales on the Wii, but will it have more success on the PS3 and 360?

Possibly.

According to a rumor that is currently floating around the 'net, Visceral Games have plans to update and port Extraction to PSN and XBLA sometime in the near future. The game will apparently sell for approximately $15.

Planet Cracker, a lesser-known title, was also listed as a game that might see a PSN and XBLA release.

Visceral Games' Dead Space 2 may not be the next game you play in the sci-fi franchise. Recent surveys point to an Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network port of Wii misfire Dead Space Extraction and something brand new, Planet Cracker.

One survey's description of the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 port of Dead Space Extraction indicates that any planned port of the game would feature the same on-rails "guided first-person experience" gameplay, pitched as an "interactive horror experience" in "full HD." A tentative price of $15 USD was mentioned in the survey forwarded to Kotaku.

Another title, known as Planet Cracker, was potentially more interesting. Described as a "resource strategy game where players will manage a CEC Mining operation," Planet Cracker focuses players on attempting to "maximize their daily profit" and "defending their hard-won ore from Space Pirates." Sounds like Ore Tycoon aboard the USG Ishimura.

While the survey appears legitimate, EA's plans may change, so we're labeling this information as rumor until any official announcements are made.
