PS3 PES next spring
[Mul🎃ti] Microsoft's next gen footie exclusive 'misleading'
Wednesday 30 August 2006
PlayStation 3 gamers will be able to snap up Pro Evolution Soccer 6 next spring, despite 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Microsoft's recent announcement that next-gen versions of the footballing series would be 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:exclusive to Xbox 360 for 12 months.
澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Microsoft's announcement was "misleading," according to series producer Shi🍌ngo 'Seabass' Takatsuka. "We never said exclꦯusive for one year on next-gen platforms".
Instead, it appears that Xbox 360 will only have the remainder of 2006 to enjoy the exclusive. "We said this year," Seabass informed a US website, "we were agreed that [the exclusive] was༺ this year". Seabass confirmed that a PS3 Pro Evo is in early development and that it wouldn't have been ready until next year anyway, regardless of any exclusive deals.
However, as 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Microsoft termed its 🗹deal "exclusive to Xbox 360 in Europe," it could be that Seabass is referring instead to a PS3 version of Winning Eleven, the💙 Japanese release of PES.
As usual with the Winning Eleven series, this would eventually bec🥂ome Pro Evolution Soccer 7, thus bypassing any exclusive deals. And this would most likely be the first true next-gen evolution of PES, as🌄 opposed to PES6 on 360 which, aside from a visual boost, is otherwise identical to current-gen versions of PES.
There's no such confusion with FIFA 07, though - the other footie sim that 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Microsoft 🎶signed up for 12 months' exclusivity. Next-gen FIFA 07 "is exclusive to Xbox 360 for the next 12 months," EA has confirmed, stating that this is "a global agreement". No doubt 🌳we'll have more on this exclusivity ball game soon.
