Microsoft confirms Tekken 6 for 360, fall 2009
62
A rumor we first reported on in Jan. 2007 has finally become reality. Microsoft confirmed during its pre-Tokyo Game Show 2008 press conference that Namco Bandai's Tekken franchise will appear on Xbox 360. Tekken 6 will, according to Microsoft, appear on the console in "fall 2009." The sixth installment in the series – which has been a PlayStation mainstay since the original launched in 1995 – was expected to continue console exclusivity on PS3. It will, instead, ship for both consoles simultaneously.

I guess you can say that Tekken has made it's final sale! Unless this situation is remedied!
WHEN DOES IT EVEN END ANYWAYS!!!
I don't think you realize how emotionally invested some of your fans are! I've been playing Tekken since I was 4! You are smhuge sell outs to Ummmarican games!
Ask Konami how their doing! They didn't commit public fraud against us!
lol.

you know, I really wish someone would go ahead and make cross-platform online gaming possible. I'd love to play a friend in Tekken 6 or VF5 or SC4 regardless of what system they have.
Of course, integrating things like achievements vs trophies might be an issue, but meh.

"So... the worst TEKKEN of the series goes multi-platform? Expect an even further quality dip to mediate the two versions. "
Quoted for truth, now that Tekken is going multi platform, it will look horrible, not taking advantage of the PS3 whatsoever. Just look at the graphics in the recent trailer, well, good job Sony, you should have secured this easily but just goes to show how important America is: With it's economy down, ALL suffer. Microsoft is taking advantage of this, but hopefully they DO NOT achieve success in becoming number one. Why do i say this? Because we ALL KNOW how microsoft operates their business, and we dont need to be forced into anything MORE than they already do you think Blu Ray was a bad forced move? look at PAYING to play online !! you think it will stop there!?I don't want microsoft gone, i just don't want them to be number one, for the good of the industry. Sony pushes innovation and creativity and try to lead through that ( to make money off it of course but innovation and creativity are better ideals to push to make money from ) While microsoft pushes their money around and doesnt push innovation ( look at windows compared to apple's os, look at Windows Media Player, look at Internet Explorer, all trash programs, only one made it, the OS)

You seriously don't know what you're talking about.
"now that Tekken is going multi platform, it will look horrible, not taking advantage of the PS3 whatsoever."
Not sure if you've noticed, but...the game is finished. It's out. It's in arcades. Granted, it's not in very many US arcades, but I'm in NY where we have two machines, and I've played it already. Trust me...you will not be disappointed with the graphics. It looks like a next-gen game. YouTube movies, low-res previews, etc. do not do the game justice. At high res in 60fps, it looks great.
The arcade version already runs on PS3 hardware. I can't speak for the 360 port, but the PS3 home version will look exactly the same, if not better.
Namco has an excellent track record of making the home versions of Tekken look at least as good as the arcade versions, and this will be no different.

Ok, ill give ya that, but just remember, VERY few multi plat game's graphics reach the highest level possible, but Namco does have a track record, so i will give them the benefit doubt, as for the rest of my post, i stand by it

ok think about this all you happy 360 owners what if halo came to ps3 it would be awsome for us but you guys would not feel as speacial

if halo went to ps3 i wouldnt get upset. i think all games should go multi why not more money for the game companies and its a win win for us the consumers. im glad tekken 6 and ffXIII came to 360 cause i can focus on getting games and not saving up for the ps3 just for those 2 games

If SMT4 goes multi. Poor poor Sony.
Microsoft should remedy 3RL also known as RRD. Is the only thing that would make me buy a 360. More like 180 (days of life for a 360 if your core.). Which I sadly am.
It's cheaper so if they do remedy it I'll be happy that their getting PS3 exclusives. =p

this is annoying, the very reason for me to bought PS3 was to expect tekken arrive on that system. Now exclusivity is gone, why the hell DOA and ninja gaiden 2 are not arrive on PS3! Exclusivity is what makes a certain console IS a console. I know that Halo and Gears of war what made XBOX and I know tekken and killzone what made PS. Now tekken's gone, PS are not... PS anymore
