Exclusives are quickly disappearing at a fast and furious pace and the latest to flee this world is SEGA's Virtua Fighter 5, which was slated to come out originally only for the PlayStation 3. Now, however, the game is going to come out late next summer for the Xbox 360. Certainly a huge fighting franchise, losing exclusivity of it is a big deal, or at least should be to Sony. SEGA sent this press release this morning:
SEGA® of America, Inc. and SEGA Europe Ltd. today announced that the highly anticipated arcade fighting game, Virtua Fighter™ 5, will make its way onto the Xbox 360™ video game and entertainment system. Virtua Fighter 5 is scheduled for release on Xbox 360 in North America and in Europe late summer 2007. The game will also be available for the PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system on February 20, 2007 in North America and will be available in Europe simultaneously with the system's launch in March 2007.
With less and less exclusives, what's gonna keep this Sony boat afloat?

Robert Summa whats your Gamertag for 360? Everytime I click an editors name or anything related it takes me to thier blogs, not info.
If anyone else wants to get spanked in Gears of War or DOA 4, gimme a ring.

Like I said I dont care for VF, but Im glad more exclusives will come to the 360. Anyone care to tell me why VF is the ish? Looks like a polygon orgy when I see people playing the original...
I love Sega once again.
the only exclusive things nowadays from third party devs are maybe the few months you get...
i don't think it hurts a system as much as the people ranting on forums/blogs that hate the system want you to think... and i think with MS and Sony doing more in-house games they will still offer plenty of reasons for people to own all systems

To see our pages, click on our names in the comments. Anyways, my GT is warchiefgrim and I just sent you a FR.
Also "less and less exclusives" -- come on. "Fewer and fewer".
Well I've bought two ps2's in the span of like 6 years because they broke but I had to replace my xbox 360 three times within the span of like three months.
with no games and a BLueRay format that could die out.
i can wait til late 2007 and wait and see if more titles appear on PS3 and if this Sony format will survive at all...
HD-DVD is outselling it right now 3-1
if Konami/Metal Gearports to X360
and
if Namco/Tekken leave Sony, it's GAME OVER
This being on 360 makes me want a PS3 les actually. I'm a devout Virtua Fighter fan and it pleases me to see I have to spend less money to get the same game.
