Is any PS3 title safe? In case you haven't picked up on the all the news just yet, you should know that Devil May Cry 4 is now officially coming to the Xbox 360. Announced in the dead of night (for us anyway) by Capcom, Devil May Cry 4 is now headed to the PS3, Xbox 360, and even PC. Are we surprised? No, not really. Capcom has been very open about expanding its properties, making a particular effort to develop titles on PCs, which makes quick console ports a snap. And of course, DMC4 has been rumored for a while, too (does this mean MS will be buying Capcom after all?).
But seriously, what's next? Tekken? Kingdom Hearts? Who knows. Right now we're excited enough for the third person action promised by DMC4. Anyone glad to see this show up on the Xbox 360? For that matter, was anyone planning to buy a PS3 just for Devil May Cry 4?

Well, this was almost a no-brainer, since Capcom is probably thinking about those Dead Rising and Lost Planet sales, and thinking, "Well, if relatively unknown IPs get THAT sort of love from 360 owners, imagine what an established, popular IP will get".

I loved DMC1 and think that it was in the last game style not fully relised on the 360... suck that Sony... you need to go home (Pun intended :-)

I was thinking of getting a PS3 just for this title and MGS4.
If this keeps up I'll just stick with my 360 and save myself $600.

I wasn't going to buy a PS3 for this game, but I was going to be very sad, but now I'm happy. Simultaneous release? Even better.
Capcom know where it's at this generation apparently.

Funny is going to see the XBOX 360 version get better grades from magazines and websites and outsell the PS3 version by at least 50%.
PS3 is REALLY in trouble with it's Rolls Royce price and Kia exclusive games lineup.

Or, of course, it could be those of us who enjoyed the DMC games on the PS2, want to play the future games in the series, but aren't willing to purchase an entirely new system with a $600 price tag just to do it.

I was definitely planning on buying a PS3 for this game and a couple other ones, but when i first heard the rumor of DMC4 coming to the 360 i held off. If MS keeps getting all these former PS3 exclusives it looks like i wont be buying a PS3.

Lately, there's been a lot of articles and talk about ps3 vs 360.... and one of the common arguements have been "well if one game gives you achievements, and the other does not... wouldn't people get the version with achievements?"
Personally, I thought it was a BS arguement, as I don't really care about the achievements, but I guess now that we have a big name, simultaneous multiplatform release... we'll see for ourselves.

Man, as an owner of both I'm pumped. Odds are I'll just use my 360 for Halo and run everything else on the PS though. Hey, that means outside of Halo this will be the best game for the 360. Hell if I could get a copy of Halo for the PS3, I may be able to get a few pennies after I sell it...

Meh. Ninja Gaiden is better. Unfortunately, the 3rd version of the game goes to the PS3. =\
Bah, who am I kidding. There will eventually be a 360 port of Sigma, too. SWEET!

First, I think there maybe something more behind the scenes going on between MS and Capcom, like a change of ownership. Second, The only game I want to buy the PS3 for is Tekken and if that happens then Sony loses $600 because I wouldn't need to puchase it.
