Dead or Alive 2! Brilliant beat em up and is, at the moment, the only one on PS2 that challenges Tekken Tag.
When I heard that Tecmo were making a third in the series, I was happy. I couldn't imagine what they could do to improve on the second, and whether they could relly use the PS2's true power to make for a brilliant sequel.
Then, I read in the latest magazines, that the Xbox was going to get it exclusively. Why? Is it wise? Yes, it's more powerful, but come on, let's be realistic, the PS2 will be the more popular, and they could make more money by releasing it to a wider audience. It shocked me to say the least, and really annoyed me. Is it just me who is annoyed by this?

It is a shame that the Xbox is getting some good exclusives, but hey, there are several good games coming out on other consoles.

It would have been more appropriate Dead or Alive 3 coming out for PS2 considering the previous two were on PSOne/PS2. But I guess Microsoft are desperate to get exclusives for X Box they will snap up anything that comes there way.
It is a shame though that we will have to buy an X Box to play many good games, like Star Wars Obi Wan and Oddworld also being exclusives.

Can I ask a question? Who is Kemco? Where did they appear from?
I can only assume you mean Tecmo.

OK, so it's to early to say yet about how popular Xbox will be, but I have seen several posts on this forum and others, about how and why the Xbox will and should fail.

I think that it should stay here, after all, it IS about the future of gaming.

I wouldn't say that the PS2 will be more popular than the Xbox but I still think that Kemco would be wiser to release it on all platforms so everyone can spend their money on it.

Yes, it could. But it concerns PS2 as well. So I could have put it in the PS2 forum. But I didn't. And anyway, more people visit this forum, and I want to see what other people think.
