Yup, that's why they released Dimensions on a single portable system with zero install base.It's not even a matter of preference. The next Doa MUST be multiplatform to reach the biggest possible audience. They know this.
I don't understand the logic here. If the next DOA was multi-platform, why would it also being released on PS3 keep you from being able to play it on 360?
We're talking about the next major release. You don't need to deliberately ignore that basic piece of context to make yet another swipe at the developer. We get it. This is an educated audience on this site. DOAD is not a new progression in the franchise, it is a revision of the status quo. We all know this. Move on.Yup, that's why they released Dimensions on a single portable system with zero install base.
Do you remember back when everyone was whining about 360's d pad. Most folks were saying that it was causing problems for them in terms of button imputs and etc? If doa5 came out on both consoles, then about 80% of the community would go to ps3 mostly because of the d pad issues. Some folks use an arcade stick so it dont matter much to them but the pad users would most likely go running to ps3.
All the other fighters sold about even on both ps3 and 360. If DoA5 go's multi-platform, I'm pretty sure it would have similar sales on both consoles. Not everyone has a ps3, and after the psn incident, I know a lot of friends that wont even use psn anymore and moved to 360. You're over dramatizing things, and doa5 being exclusive to the 360 will only hurt the series.

New twist d pad? i've never heard of them. Care to explain how they differ?Generally I prefer an arcade stick, but for some reason I can't use a stick on doa. The new twist d-pads for the 360 are also really good.

Well... one may claim that its better if it IS popped out, unfortunately the weakness of the beast is that rough play tends to snap the dpad right off when it is in that position.
That said, when its tucked in its perfectly safe for fighting game bullshit, and is infinitely better then anything else ive tried.
I've actually been getting better input on this thing then a playstation pad, although a lot of that is practice im sure.
