Capcom has announced that Devil May Cry 4, already in development for PS3, is now also in development for the Xbox 360 and for PC. Each version of the game will be maximized to take advantage of the systems’ strengths, leading to what they claim will be 'a breath-taking visual and gameplay experience.' Devil May Cry 4 will be released simultaneously for the PS3 and Xbox 360 system.

“Capcom is committed to making its titles available to as wide an audience as possible, and has been building its technology base to meet that goal,” said Mark Beaumont, executive vice president, officer and head of Capcom consumer software publishing in the Americas and Europe. “This announcement means that PS3, Xbox 360 and PC owners worldwide will be able to experience the latest instalment of one of Capcom’s pillar franchises.”

From the producer of the original Devil May Cry and Resident Evil 4 comes the next instalment in the hugely successful stylized action series that has so far achieved global sales of nearly seven million units. Devil May Cry 4 is set in a gothic supernatural world, where a new protagonist clashes with a familiar hero. As the new leading man, Nero, players will unleash incredible attacks and non-stop combos using a unique new gameplay mechanic, his powerful “Devil Bringer” arm.

With the advanced graphical capabilities of the next-gen systems, high definition visuals and intricate detail come to life as players explore new and exotic locales. Dynamic action and undeniable style combine with unprecedented fighting options and a gripping story to produce the incomparable experience that only a Devil May Cry game can deliver, say Capcom.

lmao, just Tekken an GT Left until i jave no reason for a ps3
It seems more and more PS3 games are finding there way onto 360, like blackmage says I have no need for PS3 as all the decent games which id get for PS3 are all coming on 360 anyways (Resident Evil 5, Assassins Creed etc.)

Great news for 360.
The news of Devil May Cry 4 on the Xbox 360 had been coming for a while, it was just a matter of time until it was confirmed.

The fact of the matter is that Sony simply aren't the only major console maker out there now. In the past, they had so much of the market share that it made sense for developers to just focus on the Playstation, that was undoubtedly where the money was at.

Now however the same can't be said. Though the Playstation 3 may go on to eventually outsell the Xbox 360, the 360 has already made a big dent on the market and with so many millions already sold, developers naturally want in on that market.

In the long run, I think the same will apply vice versa too. We'll now see Capcom's Devil May Cry on 360 but it wouldn't be a huge surprise if at some point we saw Capcom's Dead Rising and Lost Planet on PS3.

Once these third party games all lose their exclusivity (I believe the likes of Final Fantasy and Metal Gear Solid will do the same) the only exclusives remaining will be the first party titles from Sony and Microsoft themselves.
I hope all titles become non-exclusive. Then the consoles will have to compete on price and performance.
And not just brand?

I'd like to share that dream..
