TGS: Tekken 6 - There Goes Another PlayStation Exclusive
Namco Bandai beat 'em up heading to Xbox 360
9 Oct 2008
Namco Bandai has officially announced the console version of Tekken 6, revealing that it will break with the series' long tradition of PlayStation exclusivity to make an appearance on the Xbox 360.
The game got a mention during Microsoft's keynote by John Schappert (corporate VP of LIVE, software and services for Xbox) and has now had a full announcement from the publisher itself.
The title, which has already turned up in arcades, is slated for an Autumn 2009 release.
It's the latest in an ever-growing list of franchises that were once associated with Sony's PlayStation brand but will now also appear on the 360. As well as the likes of Grand Theft Auto heading over for simultaneous launch on Microsoft's machine we've more recently seen Final Fantasy XIII confirmed for the 360.

Better late than never...Took your time putting this huge announcement up hey Spong? Lol.
Anyhow its in the interest of developers and publishers alike to go mulitplatform. Personally since Microsoft has all the money they could quite easily take FF13 and Tekken 6 as 360 only games but thats up to the developer if they want to do that I guess.
