The rumours about PS3-exclusive games that might also come to Xbox 360 keep on coming. After recent messages about Devil May Cry 4 and Metal Gear Solid 4, this time it's Tekken 6 whose exclusivity is taken into doubt.
According to "sources within IGN" (the same source who said VF5 would come to Xbox 360) Namco is currently working on a Xbox 360 version of Tekken 6, that would appear winter 2007, just short after the PS3-version.
Is Tekken 6 the next exclusive Sony is going to lose and where will it stop? Will Sony have any exclusive important franchises left at the end of 2007?

Sony is going to have to pay companies to keep exclusives if this happens.
A few million dollars for a few high-end titles could go a long way. If I was in charge of Sony, I would've bought up Assassins and Bioshock right away.
Killzone, GT. Hell Sony might even start making games for the 360.
You can't buy up Bioshock if they're announced exclusive on 360/PC. I guess Bill has already paid the bill.
So there you go that's one of the list.
Ubisoft has been major supplier on 360. They know they sell on the platform. GRAW, Rainbow Six and other games. Sell like hot cakes. Assassins Creed won't be different. Sony has to pay a lot, so freaking very much to pay of for 10 to 15 million gamers on 360 for 2007 as potential buyers for the game.
Keep dreaming.
PS3 exclusives are running low. 360 exclusives will hit an all time high. Multiplatform games are best on 360 confirmed by several independent gaming sources.
Bottleneck 3 = doomed
Sony did help make the new Colin McCrae game for PS3 AND Xbox 360. I wonder how the anti-Sony fans are going to react once they realize they're playing Sony software on their Microsoft hardware. Watch, one of them pulls an exorcism. =P
its good to be a 360 owner :)
are waking up to the fact that 360 is where the money is. 360 has an attach rate of over 5 games per console, with an install base of 10 million and growing. If a developer wants to make money on an investment, there better be a 360 copy. It's just business, and with the 360 being this generations dominant console that's where the business is.
Tekken is a horrible fighting game. Just another button masher. Virtual Fighter coming to the 360 is the news that everybody wanted to see. This is my rank for 3d fight games...
1.Virtual Fighter
2.Soul Calibur (to bad the ps2 killed the franchise
with soul calibur 3)
3.Dead or Alive
4.Mortal Kombat
5.Tekken
You must be smoking. Tekken is the best HAND TO HAND 3d fighting game ever made. If you didn't know how to play and didn't learn you couldn't help but mash buttons. And even then you only got cheap moves with button mashing. You have to learn the combo system in Tekken to master it or you weren't doing anything except wasting your time. One example is King. Button mash and you get no where. Learn his combo throws and you could kill someone in one combo throw. Off da chain!!
Best HAND2HAND 3D Combat:
1. Tekken (franchise)
2. Dead or Alive
Best WEAPON2WEAPON 3D Combat:
1. Soul Calibur (franshise)
2. Mortal Kombat (later franchise)
I for one will be glad to see it on 360!!
it goes like this.
1. Tekken
2. Soul Calibur
3. Virtua Fighter
4. Dead or Alive
and MK's sucks..
just my two cents
does this guy only have one bubble?
can you say that a again, didnt understand enough. plz tell me again what you said.

"ZZZZZZZ, Dreaming,ZZZZZ (XBOTS LOVE DREAMING) ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ" Dreams are just dreams until they start coming true then they become reality (Common Sense) “XBOTS” dreams are coming true while Sony fans like yourself slip into a PS3 game loosing nightmare.
I'm not gonna lie. I will be disappointed if Tekken 6 does go multiplatform. I know everyone should get a chance to play it, but Sony is in real serious need of exclusives. The arrogance that Sony had about "even if the console was launched with 5 games, it would still sell." Well, that's kind of how it's looking. Only like 5 exclusive games out or coming within the next six months that are really AAA titles. Someone really should have given Ken Kutaragi and Kaz Harai a humility punch earlier. It could have made the console more attractive in the exclusives department.
Well uhm, I'm not a big Tekken fan, it seems like this genre is very "stale" these days, yes they look great but the fun factor just isn't the same -actually Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat & Soul Calibur were the only "fighting" games that I really enjoyed. Either way if true this is just another "feather in the 360's cap", but honestly IMO, Tekken isn't that big of a deal -Now if we get some creditable news that MGS4 is coming, then that would be very bad for Sony.
I'm not so sure it's due totally to arrogance on Sony's part and the success of the 360 on MS's part that Sony is losing all of its exclusives. Sony financially has been in the red for awhile now. They are getting outsold on nearly all hardware fronts (except last gen game systems of course), they just lost a ton of money on a battery recall, and they've poured a ton of money into bluray and the cell. Many business analysts (although I think most analysts are morons) have said that if Bluray fails, Sony fails. Point is, I'm not sure Sony has the money to keep the exclusives anymore, especially in light of the 360's success and the vast sum of wealth that is MS.
"According to certain sources of IGN, more or less reliable in the past (this same source had predicted VF 5), it would seem that Namco would be in the train of floor on Tekken 6 out of 360.
But quid of the exclusiveness in the Tekken plays on Sony consoles?
In fact, the contract between the two giants would stipulate that Namco must provide in 2006 a play Tekken for its PS3. And like the animal is rather hard with maitriser, it had right to a bearing of version PSP in HD with some tiny innovations. It is thus a new play Tekken for PS3 if the contract well is followed.
Moreover, the afficionados will notice that at the time of the presentation of the PS3, there was a kinematics with Tekken. Nothing other. Neither of 6, neither of premium, nor even of fried sausages! That leaves well an opening for the saga on the console with the rings.
Thus this rumour thus envisages Tekken 6 into multimedia.
The play would leave running Hiver 2007 out of 360, as for grinding PS3, it will be necessary to wait one day according to the alignment of planets with the slipway of Tomchoucrew and the baldness of rone. As much to say, which one has time..."
Well the guy was right on Virtua Fighter 5, which turned out to be true, so I guess Tekken 6 here it comes on 360.
Anyone not prefering 360 over PS3 being punched over and over again, loosing exclusive after exclusive must be sick in the head
The only reason I was going to buy the Playstation 3 was for Tekken 6. If this rumor turns out to be true then no PS3 for me.I bought my 360 on launch day last year and I knew it was going to be good....but the surprises never end with this little bad @ss console.Best console purchase I have ever made!Sony fans....Dont hate...participate!
I think Sony has to start paying companies to keep exclusives because of the great potential of games being multiplatform.
Are you happy with the Nintendo Wii? My girl really wants it but I kinda feel like the novelty of it will wear off within a month or two. Any info you can give me on it would be awsome.
And instead of being happy about it, a lot of them are getting all pissed and whiny against Playstation owners. Am I missing something here? Talk about immature brats.
I have all three systems (just bought the ps3 the other day) but if this keeps up it's going to start looking like I purchased another 3D0 which I never thought would happen to Sony.
If I was them I'll start selling the system a little cheaper or it may be over before it began.
We don't need PlayStation Poo!, but the dev's need our money. Just kidding. If you think about it the dev's are spending large amounts of cash developing these games, Sony's PS3 fanbase is too small and not worthy of the dev's investment(time & money) their kids got to eat.
That's what a lot of people said about XBone. Fortuately not all believed it.
who say's little fan base?
EUROASIA alone can top PS3 sales
we don't your crappy box.. you can that anyway.
just my two cents
sony is loosing exclusives because of there fan base!! which has alot to do with price!!but I think if they had about the same size fan base as the 360 we might not be seeing things like this happen!! just give sony more time to get more systems sold an if they still loose there games then sony is in trouble!!
tekken6 did come out for the xbox 360 im gonna buy the Ps3 version only because im a killer with king an im so use to playing that game with a sony controller. the moves are programed into my hands, dont need to look at the buttons to do all of kings slam link combo's
Ps2/3 controller adapters are for!
It for sony! Tekken 6 was the only system seller for me when the price dropped to about $399 for the premium!
This is no big surprise people. With the HUGE costs of next gen game development these days we
are going to see more and more cross platform releases. This way the money gamble isn't as huge.
ITs just the way it is now. The only 'exlusive' stuff your going to get is .....SONY for the ps3 and MS game studios for the 360. It's just too risky for alot of software house's to bet on only one console with the latest game they have just banged out. The ps2 sold a gazillion units, which is why they had alot of exlusive titles.Companies knew they would make bank if the game was good, and released it for ps2. But now, it's a whole new ballgame. 360 got out a full year ahead, and remember there is also Nintendo Wii aswell. Personaly, I always thought cross platform was $hite. Because they don't really push any of the machines they release for. The only origonality and exlusivity your going to see out side each respective companies own software studios, is the 'Indie' developed downloadable stuff.
i did n`t know playstation tittles were that interesting to you
I didn't know Playstation Titles were that Interesting to you.
You just made yourself look like a complete idiot. Good work.
dude although i speak English i wasn`t born in an English country.And for the record i speak 3 languages.Why not use some of that your teaching sessions with your girlfriend and not worry about me making an error in a word..get a life!
Dude, ur ridiculous! Tekken a button masher? If you learn the combos NO ONE can beat you. Tekken 5 and Tekken: Dark Resurrection have some the highest ratings in the genre...
I agree Virtua Fighter's good...but is it Tekken or Mortal Kombat good? NO!!!
Seriously though...the PS3 isn't selling as well as i would have hoped...because gamestop/ebgames/bestbuy employees are telling the parents to buy the 360...BECAUSE IT MEANS MORE MONEY FOR THEM!!! They have more of them in stock and they're lying to the parents. One employee the other day said that Warhawk was coming to the 360, because the parent was waiting for Warhawk...so the parent got a 360!!! I mean, yeah...Warhawk looks fun...(not on my top 5 list or anything)...but that's not the point. It's that these employees are swaying the market a LOT more than we know and Sony needs to pay attention to this...because we KNOW MS is involved somehow!
More whining, more complaining...*
I was unaware that interesting was ALWAYS spelled with a capital I...
Guess I suck...
Dude, don't diss other peoples' spelling unless it's really bad!!!
For america an FPS or TPS is a system seller
For europe a soccer game is a system seller
For japan an RPG is a system seller
BUT NEVER A FIGHTER GAME!!!
This is NOT the reason to get ANY system.
DMC4 and MGS4 are my biggest reasons for PS3. Yeah, i'd like GOW, but it's not worth 3-400 bucks. For the next 3 or 4 years...that's the ONLY appealing game on the 360 for me. I don't like Halo...I'd rather play Unreal ANY day...and Mass Effect looks boring as frick. If the PS2 generation of games dies (the ones that actually had a storyline and got you ENTHRALLED in the game)...it's on all your heads. I believe that each of you fanboys is ruining my future gaming experience because you want your American product to win!!!
Gears of war is not worth 300 to 400 bucks? Then DMC4/MGS4 is certainly not worth 600 bucks!
Gears beat any game, any time, any day. Furthermore, there is more to get for 300 to 400 bucks then only Gears, you'll get Bioshock, Assassins Creed, GTA, Viva Piniata, Huxley, Forza, Virtua Fighter, Tekken, Fatal Internia, Crackdown, Halo, the right version of COD3, Rainbow Six and more, Command & Conquer 3, Lost Planet, Blue Dragon, PGR, Fifa&PES only on 360 up till Christmas 2007, and more and more
PLUS, what if MGS4/DMC4 comes to the 360? Capcom owns DMC4 and has several selling hits on 360. THey know 360 users buy games, 5.2 game attach rate per unit actually. PS3 owners don't buy games, 1.5 game per unit attach rate. The title has a name that sells: 1+1=2, Sony hasn't paid Capcom for DMC4, MS does pay Capcom to have titles like Lost Planet exclusive. MS even could buy Capcom to secure all titles, best buy ever, Lost Planet, Dead Rising, DMC4 and more all secured in one buy.
And Konami, well Konami also wants to make money. MGS4 production costs are high. If there are not enough PS3's to sell it too and PS3 owners buy so few games, they will certainly look to other platforms as well. Because SOny don't own the rights!
Microsoft has a better strategy, they have MS game studios which own a LOT of rights on the games to keep them exclusive. And otherwise they just pay them easy as that
There's a Tekken on GBA too...
Why are you all surprised?
Sony will pay who they NEED to pay...but NOT for a fighter...
Playstaion is the true Tekken console.Always has been.
a couple of years ago.

Man............... Shut the Fuk Up.
I hope it is true. But if it is not it wont effect me much because I will not be a PS3 owner untill the thing cost $300.00 - $400.00. NBut buy then there may be no need to buy it at all.
keep on rumoring xbots !!!!! everyday ......... coming to xbox 360?

As I stated in my previous post Sony owns Guerilla games so Killzone will remain exclusive to Sony(I personally could care less...I found it to be boring). Tekken 6 could come to x360..but as of now its only a rumor. There are alot of things that give strength to this rumor though...9,486,935 X360's in the hands of gamers..as opposed to the 861,777 PS3 in the hands of gamers being one. Increased development costs are also a huge factor for 3rd-party developers. These are things all 3rd parties are looking at. How much fiscal sense would it make to spend 2 million to develop a game for 20-40% of 866,771 (actual PS3 owners)gamers to buy it..or make that same game for 20-40% of 9,486,935 (actual x360 owners)gamers to buy it? Until Namco shoots it down this room is a very real possibility.
Virtua Fighter Exclusive to PS3? Are you serious dude? Sega has confirmed VF 5 for X360..thus ending exclusivity. Sure the PS3 version will come out first..but if the X360 version is released with online versus then PS3 version will be inferior.
Resident Evil exclusive to Sony? RE5 has been confirmed as a Multiplatform release. RE has been multiplatform since its birth. RE1 on psx and saturn, re-released on GCube. RE2..psx, dreamcast, gamecube, PC. RE3...psx, dreamcast, gamecube, PC. RE: Code Veronica Dcast, PS2, PC. RE:4 Gcube, PS2, PC(I think). RE: Dead Aim, Survivor and Survivor were PS2 and Arcade..so u could count those as PS2 exclusive..but the weren't great games so. There is even an RE on gameboy and one for DS. RE: 5 PS3 and X360..with another title announce for Wii. Exclusive by definition means limited to object or objects designate; single or sole; noting that in which no others have a share. So clearly RE is not "exclusive" to Sony.
MGS4 has been confirmed as exclusive for Sony by Konami...so you gets no arguments there. Kojima-san said in an interview that he has a different IP for X360. So once they finish MGS4, maybe we'll see that is. But if PS3 sales & interest become stagnant..don't be surprised if the MGS4 rumor resurfaces.
