Two Capcom-Xbox 360 rumors have been crawling around the internet for the past couple (slow news) days, so before we get too many more tips about these non-stories, let's smash 'em!
"Rumor #1: Capcom Is Publishing SIX Xbox 360 games in 2007! "It's unclear how Capcom is defining these games, if they're Capcom developed titles or games published by Capcom" Rumor #2: God Hand and Okami Coming To Xbox 360! Source: A Japanese PDF issued by Capcom with the words God Hand and Okami in close proximity to the words Xbox 360." That's it? I though these "Two Capcom-Xbox 360 rumors" were going to be officially smashed by capcom. Instead we have someone trying to convince us that they are unlikely because they don't think is likely. I'm not saying this is true and honesly I can care less since I'm not a fan of any of those titles. The fact is that these will stay as [rumor] until they are officially smashed. Now we have a rumor of a rumor that indicates that these rumors were smashed. Great! More fire for the fanboys.
A company which tracks the availability of items at online stores says it has noticed a drop in demand for PlayStation 3. Rather than selling out, many consoles are being left unsold.
It seems that the outrageous bundles being forced on consumers by retailers have turned custom away. Ian Drake explained the difference his company had seen since the launch of Xbox 360.
"Last year, at NotifyWire.com, we tracked several one thousand dollar Xbox 360 bundles which would sell out in less than two minutes after becoming available," Drake told PWWeb. "Just today, a one thousand dollar (£507) PS3 bundle was in stock at eToys.com for over 12 hours. This sort of thing didn't happen with the Xbox 360 until well after Christmas."
A quick visit to Ebay also shows that PlayStation 3 consoles just aren't as in demand as you might expect. With many consoles going for just over retail price rather than the riches the sellers may have hoped for. In fact it's really easy to get hold of a PlayStation 3 via the auction site,
"I think we're already at the point where many people won't pay a premium for the console or be forced into buying bundles," added Drake.
It seems there are plenty of people who would like a PlayStation 3, they just aren't willing to get ripped off when doing so
doesn't smash anything. In the 2007 column, there are still 6 titles for the 360 and 3 titles for the PS3. Kotaku doesn't know what these titles are any more than we do.
I could care less at the moment! The 360 currently has a huge lineup of games on the way with tons of unheard of titles that have not even been announced yet just like PS3 im sure! Capcom gave us Dead Rising (which by the way was a great game) and now were about to get Lost Planet which is a good enough sign for me to see that they have big plans for 360 in the future! Im also looking forward to Dead Rising 2 and hope that it goes above and beyond part one!
How well Dead Rising sold, and how well Lost Planet looks like it will sell (at the Gamestop I work at, we have over a hundered pre-orders for it), Capcom would be crazy NOT to release more exclusive games for 360 and port all PS3 titles to 360 as well.
6 games is only over the next 3 months. That's great news for xbox owners. 6 games in 3 months, that means there should be around 24 capcom games in 2007 calender year.
...that makes no sense whatsoever. What does DMC4 have to do with the PS2? It's a brand new game, with a brand new engine.....hell even a brand new character to play. Capcom has already made 2 original next-gen games for the 360, with more on the way, so there's no reason to think there's anything PS3-centric about DMC4.
None of You fuking Fanboys Probably even have any one of those games. Who gives a Fuk about Godhand and Okami? They did'nt make a dent sales wise in anything so whateva nucca.
"the ps3 retains a lot of instruction sets from the PS2's Emotion Engine CPU, so a PS3 version is technically more feasible/cheaper than a 360 version."
thats not a good thing man. thats mixing old gen graphic ability which newgen textures and hardware. If thats is seriously the case then we are still just playing the Ps2...
What is it with you fanboys and your Forza? How is it any better than any other generic street racer?
GOW, ALAN WAKE, and BIOSHOCK look good...other than that...they all look like crap! Sorry, Lost Planet is good too...but it's not AMAZING like Dead Rising or DMC3 was.
Guys...have you PLAYED Okami? It's freaking amazing. it's like Zelda...with a good storyline and action that's worth your while. It got better reviews than almost any game this year. EVERY gamer should play this through at least once!
Dude, I'm starting to think you guys WANT DMC4 worse than we do! We KNOW it'll be amazing...however...you won't be getting it unless you have a PS3. Sony is probably paying far out the ARSE to keep it exclusive, but they WILL keep it exclusive...you have my word on that!

Quality titels should stay on quality consoles.
