I think BlazBlue should be exclusive to the PS3 because Battle Fantasia and Guilty Gear 2:Overdrive Where exclusive to the Xbox 360. The Xbox 360 got 2 exclusives. So I think the Ps3 should get BlazBlue as an exclusive game. If you think BlazBlue should be exclusive then comment and tell why.

I honestly don't care if the game comes out on both the 360 and PS3, I would be a lot more upset if it was 360 exclusive (mostly because I have PS3 as well).
The biggest problem with people saying that the game should be "PS3 exclusive" is the fact that there are probably a good number of people who own 360's who want to play it too, and limiting it to just the PS3 or just the 360 would be kind of a dick move no matter how you look at it.
Granted, we (and clearly Aksys) do not have full say on what games come out on what systems, we just hope that it happens to come out on a system we own.
Besides, I'm sure once Aksys gets clearance for the release of Blazblue on consoles, they'd let us know. And to be perfectly honest, I would really feel sorry for the people at Aksys who go through all the hard work to translate these games and put a lot of effort into making these games available to us only to have their fans give them endless -your mother is a classy lady- for not releasing it on "the right console"
Granted, I will be morbid if the game isn't released on the PS3, but I can't change the decision to not have it be on there. I'm sure there's a few people at Aksys who agree with me (and maybe even reading this article).
not releasing it on the 360 would be a stupid move because it would limit sales. far more people own a 360 than a ps3.
with that said, i really hope that it comes out on ps3 and that will be the version i'll buy.

PS3 and 360 is a no-brainer, with a little downgrade maybe they can release it on the Wii and PSP too.
Blazblue is not a powerfull franchise like Metal Gear, Gran Turismo or Halo, those franchises sold thousands of consoles in the past, Blazblue is not that kind of game, making the game a PS3 or 360 exclusive makes zero sense.

Battle Fantasia wasn't exclusive. It was developed in Japan on both PS3 and 360, but for some mysterious reason (i've heard rumors that Sony said it couldn't come to US PS3) we weren't allowed to localize it. Until now anyway. http://www.aksysgames.com/forums/topic/68
Second, Guilty Gear 2 was developed only for 360 because (as Ishiwatari himself admitted) the PS3 sucks to develop for (Cell processor apparently isn't that fun to dev for) and the 360's architecture was much nicer for a smaller company like Arc Systems to work with.
Third, maybe it's just me, but asking for a game to be exclusive just because other games were seems like a rather selfish request. You're wanting other users (in this case 360 users) to suffer for the decisions of companies that none of us can really influence. Pretending the 360 did still have 2 exclusives, would making Blazblue PS3 exclusive magically right wrongs by making those 2 exclusives come to PS3? No, it'd just alienate more gamers. Two wrongs don't make a right. =\
Last, like BuckleMyShoe said, in the event Blazblue comes to consoles and comes stateside, it'd be kind of a big mistake to localize it for only PS3 over 360. The sheer number of owned 360s outnumbers PS3 by a long shot, and it'd essentially be Aksys just turning their backs on customers and sales. There's little (if any) reason for them to do so.

I have a PS3 and want to see BlazBlue get ported so I can play it at home. I also want Aksys to stay in business so that they can keep making great games.
Let's just hope that they can sell enough copies on what ever platform so that we can all enjoy the BlazBlue series through its XX Accent Core etc. iterations ^_^

Making BB exclusive to only 1 console would be foolish. First off, the Xbox 360s out there far exceed the PS3s. Sales wouldn't be good if it was on PS3 only.
On the other hand, most people I talk to about this agree: the Xbox controllers suck compared to the PS controller for fighting games. Therefore, an Xbox 360 exclusive would disappoint people who would prefer to play fighting games on with a PS controller. There are sticks of course, but the number of people with sticks out there is fairly small considering the price and rarity of good sticks.

If you didn't noticed, the Xbox 360 is dying because it won't last ten years.
It is also practically running out of ideas and still running games on the usual DVD-ROM. PS3 is using Blu-Ray! It won the HD-DVD over! MGS4 was made for the PS3 too using Blu-Ray disc.
It's also noted that it's time for Microsoft to stop stealing games from PS3. Nintendo made that mistake when they stole Resident Evil years back and they paid for it by seeing the Gamecube died a quick & quiet death. And Microsoft is following its steps with Devil May Cry 4, FFXIII and now Tekken 6 BR! And are also hiring Halo fans to log in as PS gamers to bad-mouth Killzone 2 as we speak!
