Me he pasado por los foros oficiales de Mass Effect, y he encontrado una respuesta a una pregunta que me hacía inútilmente, ¿podría salir Mass Effect en PS3?
Sí, podría ser, aunque es muy muy improbable. La respuesta oficial de Bioware es que si la demanda fuera altísima se lo pensarían, pero que de momento es exclusivo para 360.
Aquí os dejo la pregunta y la respuesta:
Pregunta:
I was wondering if this game will come out on the Playstation 3 in the future. It looks like a great game but Im still not willing to get a X360 just for one game. I noticed that this company has made star wars in the past but none of them went to the PS2, Im guessing that is because it was to much for the PS2 or that its a xbox only company. Also since its in MGS then I guess in wont go on the PS3? Correct me if im wrong.
Respuesta:
Well, currently Mass Effect is planned as an Xbox 360 exclusive title. This means we currently do not have any plans to make a PS3 version or a PC version of the game. It is possible that if demand were high enough in the future that such a version could be made, but we are not currently working on one.
All this is answered in the FAQ which can be found here: Click Here
And it's for 3 games on 360, since Mass Effect is already announced as a trilogy, just to be clear.

ACTUALIZACIÓN:
Declaraciones del presidente de Bioware, Greg Zeschuck, nos dejan claro que quiere que Mass Effect empiece y termine en 360, pero lo deja en un "espero, espero, espero", ya que lo condiciona a la vida de la consola.
Se ve que no las tiene todas consigo, y en el caso de que a largo plazo PS3 tuviera el mismo éxito que tuvo con PS2, se lo repensaría.
Al final el admin del foro oficial no iba tan desencaminado. Crucemos los dedos, mientras hay vida hay esperanza.
Información via Joystiq:
While he could not comment on exclusivity, BioWare president and co-founder Dr. Greg Zeschuk has told Games Radar that the developer's goal is to have all three installments of the planned Mass Effect trilogy to appear on the Xbox 360.
The only problem Zeschuk foresees in the plan is the console life cycle. "I hope, I hope, I hope that this cycle is longer than the last one," he said, adding that the advent of downloadable content means they could bridge the gap between iterations with "new little islands of story between the big game releases."
Sony has previously stated its intentions to have the PlayStation 3's life cycle exceed previous consoles; if that holds, Microsoft would less incentive release its own competitive hardware upgrade within the traditional cycle. Zeschuk would not comment on the exclusivity of the series to the Xbox 360.
Mass Effect is due out November 20 in North America.
