Actually, Sony Defense Force is probably just another Sony viral marketing ad, to replace the one that bombed horribly and made them look like the fools they really are.If it were true, it would be so dumb that most people wouldn't think it came from Sony.
They're ports.The 3 titles must be cross-platform titles that share almost all their development costs with the 360.It is not unusual to make a small profit off a single title that turns about 150,000 copies, BTW. It's tough in next-generation, but common in the current one.
@mrASSMANI agree with the killer game Lost Planet and I understand what you mean about you happened to get it as Lost Planet is floating around on the internets already! The demo is so short, but I'll buy game @ retail also. Capcom rocks.Im ready to be buried as I still don't understand the digg community's rating system....
@ elranzer: the DS is more popular in japan, but that doesnt equate to more users willing to buy certain capcom games. it has been notoriously difficult for third party developers to make large sales on nintendo consoles, which is one of the few reasons nintendo has not had much third party support. that is part of the reason that capcom ditched their infamous nintendo exclusivity for the resident evil series.<a class="user" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resident_Evil_4#GameCube_exclusivity_controversy">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resident_Evil_4#GameCube_exclusivity_controversy</a> the target demographic for a resident evil/ killer7/ devil may cry or a megaman/ ghouls and ghosts remake/ street fighter game can vary greatly. given the large percentage of DS owners that are casual gamers, its hard to gauge potential interest in a DS title and judge against your studio IP portfolio.

I read enough to see that Modus is a f**king whanker.

Speaking of which, if you have a 360 I'm giving away some copies of Capcom's Lost Planet this week. You know where to find me ;)
