Or maybe it's just easier to make it on the XBox due to it's better graphics capabilities?

but ubisoft could get more money if they release a ps2 version

for example the ps2 version of brothers in arms looks very inferior to the xbox version and they released it

also the splinter cell 3 ps2 version

Both of those games were designed from the start to be multiplatform friendly. Instincts is based on a somewhat recent PC game which requires decent hardware power. It would be much easier to port the game to the most powerful of the consoles which so happens to be the XBox.

yea... i bet microsoft had absolutely nothing to do with that... only that their machine could actually run the game

EDIT: also, that should be EA's slogan

 

[Iced_Eagle]

Yea, PS2 isn't exactly the god of the consoles... In terms of power, the Xbox owns the PS2 (it's just that Sony got out the gate way earlier than M$, and everyone trusted Sony more so they bought the PS2...)

I'm sure M$ didn't pay anyone to do that, it's just that the Xbox is more powerful...

 

[Prince of China]

They probably did want to stay with the more powerful console. Just look at Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory on both the Xbox and Playstation 2. It's not wonder they cancelled the Playstation 2 version of Far Cry.

 

[Revisedsoul]

i love how they protray that ps2 owners cry that it would be on both platforms first

Why do you call Microsoft M$ Iced_Eagle? Are you trying to be trendy or something? M$ - I'm an EXTREME rebel, rebelling against the MACHINE. YEAH! Those corporate whores! STICK IT TO THOSE ****S! Sad thing is everyone who calls them M$ still uses their software and no doubt benefits from one of their numerous patents.

I like Microsoft. I pretty much felt the same way when people do that. I couldn't find a better way to put it. Thanks.

Damn ****ing straight. Fact is, most people do it through force-of-habit now, as it's so widespread

Did the PS2 version of Brothers In Arms sell well?

It may also be because its simply an acronym that suits them.

I would always rather say "lol" than "I am laughing out loud".

Saying MS would indicate the disease and has far too many other things it could be. M$ is unmistakable.

 

[Kyorisu]

Or you could actually use your fingers occasionly and type Microsoft.

I dont know

but if ubisoft will release the second game on the ps2 that maybe means it didnt sell bad
