Resident Evil 5 Only On 360?
Posted by jhard713 on June 22, 2008
With fans still waiting for the release date to hit for Resident Evil 5, and with the trailer hitting the E3 back in 2005 there are sources out there now that RE5 might just be an Xbox 360 exclusive. A GameStop listing shows that the title was to go on the 360 but having the PlayStation 3 in the dark. This is really hard to come by even try to believe because of the fact that RE5 was announced as a multi-platform title months and months ago. Come on, a least keep one side of the table clean. Capcom Senior Director of Communications Chris Kramer came back with this so called information that, “Resident Evil 5 is coming for PS3 and 360.” This story can also be found at www.kotaku.com Kotaku pointed out that online retailer Amazon had a similar hitch in the listing of the games, “the Xbox 360 version having a release date scheduled for October, but nothing for its PS3 counterpart.”We haven’t given either retailer any new information on the game, so it’s most likely hiccups in the system,” he said “The goal is for both products to ship simultaneously, as Devil May Cry 4 just did. It sounds a bit off the wall to us, but Microsoft has done an admirable job of securing exclusive content from Capcom in the past.” Still I look back on this information and just smile as to the fact that sales of the Devil May Cry 4 on the PS3 in Japan sky rocket, it doesn’t seem to make much financial sense. Which even that the company has a main focus on multi-plat forming but still I’m going to keep my eyes on this story and see how it’s going to progress.
