Geoff Keighley: Mass Effect 2 Will Come To PS3, EA Just Can’t Talk About It Yet
The Playstation 3 got a new model and a price drop last September in Japan. Not only did that combination resulted in increased hardware sales, it also caused a sales spike for one of the best exclusive games on the system: Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots.
In an interview with Japanese gaming site Mainichi (via Andriasang), the president of Enterbrain, Hirokazu Hamamura, stated that Hideo Kojima has told him that the sales for Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots have improved after Sony launched the cheaper Playstation 3 slim model in Japan last fall.
Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots was released worldwide on June 12, 2008.

Geoff Keighley: Mass Effect 2 Will Come To PS3, EA Just Can’t Talk About It Yet
PS3 owners have been waiting for a word, any word that would favor the arrival of Mass Effect 2 coming to PS3, however nothing solid has surfaced, only rumors and speculation. Well now it would seem Geoff Keighley has some inside information concerning the game’s arrival on PS3, and how it’s only a matter of time till this happens.
“Now the fact that [Mass Effect 2] is only on Xbox 360, a lot of debate now about whether it makes sense for publishers to make those games exclusive to a platform,” Keighley said, “I think the game will eventually come out for PlayStation 3 but they just can’t talk about it yet.”
Do you think Keighley is right? The game comes out next week for PC and Xbox 360, rumors have it that ME2 has been leaked on torrent sites, if true it could mean tens of thousands in lost dollars for EA and Bioware.
