A picture of the boxart for Gran Turismo 4 and Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. Except while GT4 has PlayStation 2 at its top, Snake Eater has a Nintendo GameCube header.
I don't see why Konami wouldn't bring MGS3 out on GameCube. Twin Snakes did well, as did Splinter Cell 1 and 2, to my knowledge. Sales look likely to continue increasing heathily, and then we have a nice selection of games this coming Easter - including the exclusive Resi 4.
Good news, if this is true. I think it'll probably do well.

"Exclusive" Resi 4 my ass..
That sounds pretty exclusive to me.

Well if it's exclusive but just for over a year it still isn't what I'd call exclusive. It's out in 2005 sometime in Japan so it'll be less than a year anyway.
And if it IS a late release, the PS2 will be forgotten by the time it gets its version. So it's practically exclusive.
I think it is purely a publicity stunt to generate more interest in the game.
The only people who will buy it are gonna be really sad FF nuts. It won't do worse than Spirits Within because of the FF7 name, but I can hardly see it being a big hit.
Sony obviously don't think it'll sell too well, or they're counting heavily on the fact it will.
