Is Capcom Now Picking on the PS3?

Capcom and Sony aren't exactly B.F.F. Former precieved exclusives like Devil May Cry 4 have gone multi-platform, while the next Monster Hunter game is sidestepping the PS3 for the Wii. Things are kinda prickly, it seems. Last week, Wii title Zack & Wiki: Quest for Barbaros' Treasure went on sale in Japan. (Did you get it?) A survey was included with the Japanese version that asked consumers what genre they like (RPG, Sports, Adventure, etc.) and what consoles they own. Let's take a closer look at that. Below is an English translation of the second to last bracket:

What kind of slip of survey is that when every other survey list its own platform? [Even IF it comes WITH the game FOR that system]? Blasphemy!

[rushbd]

and spend some times there. It'll be clear like water that both kotaku and gizmodo are both pure xbox 360 fans. In Gizmodo you wont find a single article that doest mention Halo 3. Yes this is 100% truth. And if you try to post a comment that is not inline with xbox 360 they wont publish it.

"kotaku and gizmodo are both pure xbox 360 fans"

Are you doing drugs? Kotaku is a japano-phile, and holds Microsoft in contempt at every opportunitiy (not just the xbox). Gizmodo is the same, except that they are Apple Cultists. Neither has a pro-Microsoft (or Xbox 360) editorial agenda.

And it AINT on the PS3 BUMP THAT

[gamesblow]

Grabbing at straws much, Kotaku? Oh, it's Kotaku afterall... hahaah. Capcom and Sony just entered into a deal for a Resident Evil CG movie. I doubt Capcom is hating too much on Sony right now. Run away with this story, though. It makes for good bais

[MK_Red]

Wow, with PSone, DreamCast and others being on the list but no PS3, it obviously means Capcom doesn't care much about PS3 and its fans at all.

[mighty_douche]

the story is BS. i cant see a company that just signed a multi million pound deal with sony to produce a new RE movie and then turn their back on sonys gaming devision.

oh of topic, dude at my place of work lost 3 fingers yesterday, blood everywhere, thought you might like that, it was defo M rated.

[ruibing]

This could just be a postcard printed before the Wii and PS3 hit the market.

[b777conehead]

that list was proply a old survey since no ps3 and wii. witch makes since. since the ps3 and wii came out at the same time .just another way people bash the ps3.by the title of this article

[mighty_douche]

story....

business's do the best for them selves, if sony offer capcom something good they'll take it, same as if any other company offered.

companies arent fanboys, they dont let biased and brand loyalty cloud their judgement.

[nix]

they missed out last time (didn't rate RnC less than 8), so they also want the piece of the pie (internet traffic).

but one thing is for sure, only PS3 can garner such attention. q:

[PS360WII]

Wow just wow. Does anyone really believe this? I hope not.

[Rama26285]

Who cares? They only make two games I'm interested in - Devil May Cry and Resident Evil and if push came to shove I could probably live without both of them.

Also, I hugely doubt they're 'picking' on the PS3. What advantage would they have by doing that?

[lawman1108]

belive me....you would care GREAT GAME. Oh well, enjoy Lost planet....360 owners did..........1 1/2 years ago!!! hahahahahahha

[squallsoft]

...with the partnership between Sony and Capcom on the Resident Evil movies, I dont think Capcom would openly slap them in the face. I have a feeling that this might not be all that true... lol. "Men in Cloaks" hehehe

[Almighty]

Nobody gives a sh1t about the PS3, that's why every developer with brain is going multiplatform or exclusive to other consoles.

[mighty_douche]

your avatar alone proves you wrong!

[kingfury]

90% of what Konami makes cant even go on your $hitbox360.

[SmokeyMcBear]

dude, they are just reusing last years surveys.. when the ps3 and wii hadnt released yet.. geez guys

[PS360WII]

Yea but there just HAS to be a conspiracy against the PS3! What with games going multi, reviewers giving games bad ratings, and, and, and, now this!

(by the way sarcasm)

[WAR_MACHINE77]

sssshhhhh! If you tell people that then we can't watch them come up with their own crazy ass theories.

[fredy]

the Fanboy outcry and petitions when DMC went multi I could see why. Especially when sony fans crying like little wussies when they made that business decision. sony has not cared about capcom, neither have sony fans.

hey even squeenix has doubts about the console...

in the end its all business..fanboys cant understand, thats why they cry and make petitions..

[kornbeaner]

am gonna say they just got lazy and put in old survey cards they had left. 2yr old survey cards!!!! the outrage!!!!

[Skerj]

I actually couldn't care less, it's a survey and I'm getting StreetFighter IV. Capcom could go piss on my mom and sleep with my gf and then wave a copy of SFIV at me and I'd be like "ok we're cool again".

[PS360WII]

lol

[feejo]

Being a developper I would go on the Wii cause if I do a good game.
I will sell alot, cause all games suck on Wii.
Also I will have royalties forever, cause the caracters will join the Super-Mario, Samus and all of them and be passed away into Mario-Cart, smash brawl, Mario-Party ...

[Skerj]

Hah if it's going to sell a lot it has to be worth playing, and if you're doing it just for money that might get in the way of the aforementioned point.

[Lightning Mr Bubbles]

maybe this article will reach 100 comments, but I doubt it.

[kunark]

was prolly a old one for last yer or longer on the other hand all games will prolly go multi with in the next 4yrs cause its all about the money and you gonaa makes tons more off 3-4systems then 1

[Lightning Mr Bubbles]

Do we even know who's resposible for this? Doesn't mean the main core bosses of Capcom approved this, they had nothing better to do than to take a shot at PS3?

I mean they are making Lost Planet on PS3 for no reason. It's gonna sell crap. They mention dead platforms like Sega Saturn but no PS3? That would be like you have a kiddish grudge or something. That's just silly.

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

I'm thinking more and more every day that Capcom's on Microsoft's payroll...

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

If it weren't for Devil May Cry, I'd boycott the sorry jerks!

[daveman3]

wtf cares

[AngryTypingGuy]

I heard that Capcom makes the PS3 give it its lunch money everyday, while the 360 points and laughs, and the Wii is too chicken to tell the teacher. Damn bullies.
