Capcom loves tugging at the heart strings of PS3 fanboys, and is obstinately refusing to provide a solid announcement concerning Lost Planet 2 on the Black Box o' Blu-ray. As with most publishers these days, no press release = no comment.
"We're still thinking about it and haven't announced a PS3 version, so we can't say more about it just yet," states game producer Jun Takeuchi.
With Dead Rising 2 confirmed for both Xbox 360 and PS3, and with third party games in general shying away from any form of exclusivity between the two systems, it's strange that Capcom appears to have yet another timed 360 exclusive in Lost Planet 2. Still, Takeuchi thinks it's a worthwhile pursuit.
"360 users and fans, whether in Japan or elsewhere, are very passionate about their games," he explains. "The attach rate in Japan is very high for 360, so I don’t think it’s a matter of numbers in relation to Japan, I think it’s about how passionate the people are."
I guess he lives there, so he'd know better than us. Still, Microsoft must be tempting him with cakes and signed photographs of the Scotch Tape Skeleton in order to secure this deal.

Anyway after their whole year of the multi- plat speech you would think they would keep their word but I guess exclusivity money talks.
I'm at odds end with capcom this gen, for every awesome thing they have done( SF4,RE5 ) they have done somthing equally as bad ( charging for vs mode in RE5,this story) so I'm interesterd in seeing how this pans out( but truth be told I don't really care about lost planet).
Reason 1: Check out the VCR of the future!
Reason 2: The Rolling Stones have nothing on this guy.
Reason 3: Do I even need a reason?
360 exclusives = not good.
Wii exclusives = meh.
What? PS3 exclusives are certainly the most overrated on the internet if that's what you're getting at.
Either way I dont care first wasn't really my thing...I enjoyed the demo but not that much...
And gamers who play things other than the 360 don't care about their games?
@Robbo the hood
PS3 exclusives are definitely not overrated. I had the opportunity to pick up a 360 for less than the price of a Wii, and couldn't justify it, because there was nothing I wanted to play that wasn't on the PS3. The PS3 exclusives I've played, however, are awesome.
It's all preference, though.
