    Wouldn't a Konami buy-out make more sense? They canceled 5 PS3 games and 2 Wii games this week.

    Winning Eleven exclusive for Xbox 360 would sell a lot of systems in Japan and Europe (in Europe it is more important that any Capcom franchise).

    One rumor was Biohazerd 5 Xbox exclusive...dont even know if that'd be timed exclusive or real exclusive. That would be a mini-ton.

    You mean bought out by MS right. If they were bought out by MS they would have canceled all their PS3 and Wii games. And they did not.

    If the MGS trilogy thing on the 360 is true, I have to say that it is a rather pathetic attempt to support the 360. More or less anyone that wanted to play those games have played them, and the number of those that haven't or that want to experience them in hi def I think is marginal at best...

    Yea, a joke.
    The english in that "PR report" is just too bad to be real, I mean it's just littered with misplaced commas and such :)
