It was announced last month that Ace Combat 6 would be making its way to the Xbox 360, making it the first entry in the series to appear on a non-Sony platform. What was more, no announcements were made regarding a PS3 version of the game, leading many to assume that the game was exclusive to the Xbox 360. It turns out that the PS3 (and possibly other platforms) will see the title, though not simultaneously with the 360. According to a post on PS3Forums, the latest issue of PSM confirms that the game will be a timed exclusive for the Xbox 360. The length of the exclusivity period isn't mentioned. Even though it's only a timed exclusive, it's interesting that Namco would release a long time Sony exclusive on a Microsoft platform first. At any rate, more console love is better for everyone, right?Prepare to fly the deadly skies later this year.

A timed exclusive for the 360 (an easier platform to develop for) would give Namco enough time to port it to the more difficult PS3 and iron out any issues or make better use of the architecture there.
Whether that's even possible I'm not sure, but I am glad to see this title heading to the 360 - it needed a good flight combat game.

Awesome. I loved the Ace Combat series. One of the few flight sims to really rock on the console. I will so get this when it gets released.
Gamefly says 11/30/2007 release.
