Microsoft simply just "pulling a Microsoft", similar to their GTA:IV announcement

At its press conference earlier this week, Microsoft made the announcement that Konami's Pro Evolution Soccer (known as winning Eleven to us) and EA's FIFA Soccer would both see a year's exclusivity on the Xbox 360, making its next-gen console "the platform" for soccer fans. This was seemingly a huge win for Microsoft, considering how popular Soccer is in the European and Asian territories.
Now, however, we're starting to hear a different story. Speaking with Winning Eleven producer/creator Shingo 'Seabass' Takatsuka earlier today, we learned that Microsoft made claims that were untrue. "The presentation was misleading," he told us. "We never said exclusive for one year on the next-gen platforms. We said this year. We were agreed that it was this year."

According to Takatsuka, Microsoft's claims have caused some issues for Konami (with Sony, no doubt), and he definitely wants to set the record straight. Winning Eleven is exclusive to the 360 for this year, but it's likely a case of necessesity (the PS3 game, which he confirmed is being worked on, isn't far enough along in development) rather than some major exclusivity deal with Microsoft. The PS3 version could ship as early as next spring, he admitted, though no timeframe has been set yet. The only thing certain is that it will absolutely not release before January 1, 2007.

Why? To inflate your ego and convice you that you made the right choice in buying the 360.

Sounds like PS3 owners will be lucky enough to get the game after all then. I never believed it would not be available for PS3 because it's just strange seeing as the series made it's name with Playstation. Xbox 360 is still my choice though, should hopefully be getting the console soon.

I think everyone thinking of gettiing a PS3 would get the PS2 verion of PES anyway and not wait 5 months for PS3 version. Just update when it comes out for PS3 this spring. By november i'll be playin the PS2 version on my PS3.

When Seabass says "Spring" you are aware this means Japan, right?

No but with the space of blu ray, developers can put all region codes and languages onto 1 disc. But it'll probably still release in japan first. We'll see though.

Every Ps3 game will be region free.

Oh man... PES6 demo on the marketplace type rumor - number 2.

Show some proof before the masses become completly hysterical for the second time in 2 days. It could kill them.

im thinkin pes, but if its region free, surely it doesnt matter as import would require no language patches or mod chips
