People who think that Gears of War, or any other Microsoft Games owned IP, will come the the PS3 or the Wii is delusional to a new level of delusional. End of story. Good day to you all in this thread that has sunk to a new level of thick.
Yes, way to go. We get it, you are so smart. Do you want a gold star?
Sorry to be a bit dickish but if you're going to get pissy about people posting to a thread to discuss something after you've made the "uber-point" then maybe it's time to bug off. Honestly, this was a fairly reasonable and non-aggressive discussion until you started doing the trollish flame-baitery.
As it was a discussion me and Dingo were having over exclusivity and how that plays out in the current gen console wars, I will put in my two cents.
Namely, it was a theoretical example. Besides that thread and a couple of "wouldn't it be nice" articles I have seen no mention of Gears going to any other system. Given that as a 3rd person shooter it isn't that exceptional (which is not to say it's at all bad, it's very good) by the time it came to a point where it is positioned as a multi-platform title I doubt that Sony would be interested in it. I doubt MS would be too interested in it at that time either. But I have no crystal ball, when Gears of War 7 is being released for the Nintendo super in 2030 I may change my attitude.
As for all the fanboyism going on in here, I would like to let axia and Ravenrandomnumbers know that neither of you are Bill Gates so your ultimate assessments are just chattering if you insist on repeating them thirty flipping times.
The PC is not considered in the same field of competition as consoles (now you know) primarily because a PC is inherently not a console, which is why you will be able to find a plethora of console "exclusives" available on PC. What they are saying is that it is exclusive to a particular console among consoles.
Finally for all the "Gears sucks" and "Killzone sucks worse" posts, while both games are subject to personal taste, both Gears and Killzone are top notch games for their systems and in their genre. While you may not like them, unit sales unfortunately counter your assessment of the titles suckery (the halo and FF argument).
