Games which are exclusive to one console or the other have always been important. But this generation they are proving more important than ever. Leaving aside the Wii for now, the Xbox 360 and PS3 are so similar that persuading people to buy one or the other comes down to exclusives. And Gears Of War is one of the biggest Xbox 360 exclusives out there.
Two days ago some slides from an investor meeting outlining a new subscription model were picked up on the Web. The slides caused many to question whether Sony is planning on charging for PSN service on the PS3. Today Sony confirmed that the company is planning on bringing an optional premium level service to the PS3.
There is an interesting rumor floating around about Gears of War 2 finally coming to the PC. Cliff Bleszinski stated in late 2008 that there will be no PC version of Gears of War 2, ever. However, it seems like the game may be heading towards the PC according to some interesting clues.
The Project Gotham Racing series was created by Bizarre Creations with Microsoft publishing the game.

A recent presentation slide shown at a investor meeting eludes to a new subscription model coming to the Playstation Network. It is not clear yet what this new revenue stream will entail, but could Sony be thinking about charging for PSN?
The Medal Of Honor series was/is an important one as it set the tone and acted as the basis for the series which came after it. Most notably, of course, it led to the creation of Infinity Ward and the creation of the Call Of Duty series. Modern Warfare 2 has been ultra successful, so is now the right time for EA to create and release a new Medal Of Honor title?
From Software is on a roll, with Demon’s Souls doing extremely well and another title in the pipeline called 3D Dot Game Heroes for the PS3. 3D Dot Game Heroes is an homage to the classic action-adventure RPG games of yesteryears such as the Legend of Zelda. This game has been announced as a PS3 exclusive but there may be hope for Xbox 360 owners.
Microsoft created 343 Industries, a new internal studio. This studio will be handling future Natal projects and also take over the development efforts of Halo games. According to a new job posting, it seems like Microsoft is ramping up to work on a new Halo game internally.
Gran Turismo games have never been short on content. The number of cars, tracks, body kits, and tuning options in the games so far have been nothing short of miraculous. One thing it’s never had however is a track editor, which along with damage would be pretty high on most fans’ list of wants. Maybe Gran Turismo 5 can deliver on both counts.
Rumors of a follow-up to the Wii have been coming thick and fast almost as long as the original Wii has been out. Nintendo has never admitted the new hardware exists but reports of a Wii 2 or Wii HD being in development have persisted. And now there’s a new one, with the ‘Wii2′ supposedly set to be released worldwide late in 2010. Possibly.
