If there is one thing that we have all learned, it is that you never say never. Third party exclusives are becoming a thing of the past. It's all about the money.

Yea, im with Last Son, unless its MGS4, thatll NEVER come to the 360 and if it does ill be pissed as that would mean i pretty much bought my PS3 for nothing...


Also, WHAT THE HELL IS THAT THING????

Bioshock was never supposed to come to the PS3, according to the developers as well....

Blas phails:

While there's no question about the rad-tacular sweetitude that's bound to emanate from BioWare's future entries in the Mass Effect franchise, it's time to hang up on another telephoned rumor -- this one has the unannounced trilogy locked into Xbox 360 exclusivity. According to the eloquently named Australian blog, XboxOZ360-gamer, BioWare bigwig Ray Muzyka told Australian 360 magazine that the RPG developer was committed to bringing "the Mass Effect trilogy exclusively to the Xbox 360." Yeah, not so much.

Speaking to Joystiq, a BioWare representative deemed the information "incorrect," noting that Muzyka has "never confirmed any plans of Mass Effect exclusivity for the trilogy." So ... there is a trilogy, right?

I don´t know if it´s going to be exclusive or not, but i do know that Microsoft will do everything in their power for it be so.
So, for the time being, and until news on the contrary, yes, i can´t see it going to the PS3.

Bioshock was different, it was published by Take 2, it was never a Microsoft game; Mass Effect was published by Microsoft game studios, so, that might count for something.

it was developed by Bioware, published by Microsoft Game Studios for the 360, but since then, Bioware was bought by EA, which is pretty much a multiplatform company. Demiurge Studios ended up publishing the PC version. Im not betting on the series coming to the PS3, but its not impossible. I wont be too surprised if it eventually did

Yes, the PC version was published by EA, but on the Games of Windows brand, which means that, it still is on a Microsoft platform.
It´s not impossible to go to the PS3, but Microsoft will not let it go without a fight, Mass Effect is huge, not only a huge IP, but a huge universe, and if there is one thing that Microsoft is great in doing is use all potential of their universes (something that Sony is not, so far), and the best example of that is Halo.
If you look at Halo, it´s an FPS about a character named Master Chief, but if you look closely, Halo is set on a war, which means that an a prequel RTS (Halo Wars) or a squad-based "Call of Duty 4 meets Gears of War meets Ghost Recon" without Master Chief (the rumored bungie project) can be done without feeling "forced".
I expect the same "universe" with Gears of War...and the only PS3 game that can make something like that is, imo, Resistance.

Buttom line, I don´t think Microsoft will let it go, and, with all the buyings (or tryings) going around by EA, i don´t think that can keep totally away from making 1 or 2 exclusives for whatever console.
