Mass Effect 2: possible timed exclusive, PC version confirmed |

Tensions are running high between the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3, after the news that the Sony console outsold Microsoft's last month. This latest news could only add to the fire: BioWare has revealed that the sequel to Mass Effect, is likely to be a timed exclusive.
The news comes from BioWare's senior manager, Matt Atwood. Although he wasn't totally solid on his statement, it's still a pretty clear suggestion that the studio is open to the idea for Mass Effect's sequel to appear on the PlayStation 3:
I believe we'll be Xbox 360 exclusive for at least a short period of time. We're still working out the details on that, but we've had a great relationship with Microsoft and done very well.
On that note, PC gamers would be glad to know that Mass Effect 2 is coming to the PC as well (no ifs or buts there). BioWare is unclear whether it will be released along with the console version, but they did say it will be released "as quickly as possible."
The game's become so popular that even analyst Michael Pachter had a say in the matter. He reasons out that Electronic Arts (which acquired BioWare earlier this year) is fond of multiplatform games, and so he "wouldn't be shocked" if the game came to the PS3.

Obviously it would sell some on PS3, but not enough to justify the expense.
Multi-platform at launch or dont bother.

Loved the first but I have.. concerns after this merger.
Doubt PS3 version will sell very well as others have noted delayed ports to PS3 rarely sell well (QED?). Still, If you don't have a 360 or decent computer you should give it a go.

this game was awesome, and yes it did have a lot of lag on the 360, was theo nly dissapointing part of it all really... i hope they get resource/load management down better, and yes u3 engine has also had problems on ps3, but its finally gotten to the point that if a dev wants to make it look good on ps3 AND other systems they can, just have to work at it, stop with the console fighting none of the big 3 get any benefit by your internet squablings...

Funny thing is, all the PS3 fanboys kept bashing on the game: "Mass Effect is garbage". Now where it could possibly come for PS3, Many PS3 fanboys say:" I have been playing this game recently its not too bad."
really curious....
