Devil May Cry 4 Goes Multi-Platform
Capcom has announced on their website that Devil May Cry 4 has gone multi-platform and will launch simultaneously on the PS3 and Xbox 360 with a PC version coming later. It looks like all the high profile 3rd party titles that for exclusive to Sony in the last cycle are now going multi-platform due to the Xbox 360 installed base. Sony couldn't afford to keep Grand Theft Auto IV exclusive for one year like in the previous cycle as the PS3 installedbased currently pales in comparison to the 360.
