You know Dyne...if the voices tell you you're not crazy, it really means you are

I doubt it will be too big. Konami does not even publish games for xbox in Japan. I dobt they would go and do something amazing excluding the market they are currently #1 in.

Too bad they say the opposite.

Argh!

Anyways shouldn't it have been revealed by now???

Sad really, how much money M$ spends on making their meh console popular... It would have been cheaper to buy Sony! (well not quite...)

Well, I do know that Nintendo didn't pay Capcom to put RE on their console...infact, I don't know any developer Nintendo flat-out PAID to keep exclusive....Factor 5, Hal Labs, Silicon Knights, and Retro Studios have been 2nd party developers inside NCL for years, and most of the exclusive titles stem from them, NCL themselves, or are third-party titles that just didn't get ported to other systems (think Sega).

As for PS2, there are a couple, but even then, the Squaresoft/Enix payoff didn't work, as they are developing titles for GCN in 2003...MS by far though, has outright paid money for every exclusive they have now minus in-house ones. Hell, even Halo was bought last-minute right before it's completion on the Macintosh in late 2000.

I thought Konami stopped their production of Japanese Xbox games because it was un-profitable.

The fact is, Retro and SK were flat bought out by Nintendo. They're first party, but the fact that they're in different countries renders them second parties. It's the same as Rare under Microsoft. The dev house is elsewhere. There's a distinguishable difference between first party and second party. Factor 5 is not Second party, but the real reason they stay is because of Nintendo's support. Factor 5's a really great dev team, but they probably give Nintendo attention first only because of the way they treat them. That's probably also why Capcom's RE series went exclusive. There was probably no money involved, just good business relations.
