Let's get a couple of facts (darn these things!) out the way
1) EA NEVER released a statement or went out of their way in any way, shape, or form to correct anything about MS' PR. Our very own Jim (of his own volition) contacted EA's US PR dept and got word from them that exclusivity was only for this year.
A few hours later EA US PR dept, obviously having been corrected, return a call to Jim and state that infact there is a 12 month exclusivity re: FIFA 07 on nextgen platforms. Any EA press release "correcting" MS is pure fantasy on the part of Ajax and others.
2) Konami have a veryyyyyy strong partnership with Sony, so they very much are annoyed that MS is touting exclusivity with PES 6, because it isn't some part of a deal or partnership with MS, it's just something that's happened by default due to the 360 being the last release platform on the WE10 schedule. Expect a glorious nextgen WE11 on PS3 sometime late spring/early summer.
Can every please stfu now and let this die?!!
