Wonder why the Sony-centric Ace Combat series made the jump to xbox 360 instead of the PlayStation 3? In this short interview with Siliconera a Namco Bandai rep explains:
Why didn't you choose to bring the Ace Combat series to the Playstation 3? The Sixaxis controller seems like a natural fit with the series.I wanted to bring the next version of the series to the users as quickly as possible. The Xbox hardware was around and ready for development. It was basically a question of getting it out.
You snooze, you lose, Sony. Maybe if ask Namco very nicely Ace Combat 7 will be multiplatform.
