Gamersreports has reported that Capcom's TPS/ survival horror Resident Evil 5 will be coming exclusively to the Xbox360 as it debuts sometime next year. The report surfaces as Microsoft's Peter Moore announced that the title would be coming to the Xbox360 in 2008. Moreover, you will be able to download the full trailer of title on July 26th July from Xbox Live Marketplace.

This is no more than an exaggeration. If Microsoft exec didn't name the PS3, it doesn't mean that the game is coming exclusively for the Xbox360. As Moore is Microsoft exec, so why should he talk about PS3 version? He's simply given a confirmation to the game release (2008) and trailer, which will be downloadable by the end of this month.

Capcom has firmly denied all such reports and said that the game has been developed as a multiplatform title, hence will be launched on both (PS3 & Xbox360) platforms. Therefore, it's victory-hour for PS3 owners as they are no longer losing another precious title.

The game is likely to ship to the retailer stores in March '08. This is the first time when a new sequel in the 'Resident Evil series' won't come to a Nintendo platform.

Presently, very little is known about the title, hope Capcom would reveal some more details at E3.
