Earlier in the week, PlayStation Lifestyle reported a rumor that Resident Evil 5 would be a Xbox 360 timed exclusive. Thankfully, they turned out to be wrong. According to Capcom's Sven, "the assertion is false. RE5 is a multiplatform release that fits with our oft-stated crossplatform strategy." It was an easy rumor to start, as many PlayStation fans are still bitter about Capcom's treatment of the PS3: the loss of Devil May Cry exclusivity, the lack of a proper Dead Rising port, and the loss of a Monster Hunter game for the PS3.
Thankfully, this is one of the rumors that has quickly bit the dust. Resident Evil 5 will launch simultaneously on both PS3 and Xbox 360 ... some time.
