Sonic Unleashed Coming To 360 Before PS3

I’ve just received an email from my Sega contact that the 360 version of the game will be released on November 24th but the PS3 version won’t be released until December. This means that the 360 version will get the holiday shopping advantage.

I’ve asked this question before and I’ll ask it again. When it comes to next generation multiplatform titles, why can’t publishers release them day and date on each console? Are they trying to take advantage of Black Friday by squeezing the 360 version out early? I don’t think Microsoft paid them for a staggered released so what gives? If you want to have balance with 3rd party titles, you must release them day and date with each console. 

I’m hoping Sony cracks the whip in 2009 to create some balance in this industry. Microsoft has truly dominated by successfully marketing their products to death. Sony doesn’t want to spend money on exclusives but they could spend a little money to at least ensure that PS3 gamers can get a multiplatform game when it’s FIRST released and not weeks later. Don’t even get me started on how Europe gets fucked in the ass hard when it comes to Playstation 3 releases. Europe is their number one market right now and they are literally getting screwed with all major first party releases from Sony.

If you are a PS3 owner, don’t just sit idly while this continues to happen. Send an email to Sony and tell them to start putting their hands on 3rd party releases so you can get the games when they are first released.
