Sony will keep the Ratchet & Clank franchise as an exclusive for quite a while. According to Insomniac’s Bryan Bernal, Sony owns the exclusive rights to the popular series.
In an interview we posted earlier today, Bernal explained that “Sony owns the Ratchet & Clank property so it’s safe to say you won’t be seeing our heroes on Wii or Xbox 360 anytime soon.”
If you haven’t read the interview, check out the full transcript here. And, look for our review of Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack in Time soon.

So that means Resistance can lose its exclusivity? Hmm... At least Insomniac has said they won't change THIS generation...

This is just an extension of your previous interview. It's not news, you've just noticed that something you previously submitted could be passed of as a separate article. I anticipated this happening as soon as I read the interview.
Anyone that's read the interview - which'll be anyone that's interested in the Ratchet & Clank series - will've already read this. Therefore, the only people that'll be reading this are the people that've seen it in your interview already.
On that basis, you may aswell say that Uncharted will also remain an exclusive, just in case people have any doubts; after all, stating that Ratchet & Clank will remain exclusive but saying nothing of Uncharted is bound to cause some speculation...

@4 Wasn't the latest game also the last one for the series? Why would it even matter now? They maybe could do a R&C kart game if they could, but come on. Since the series is finished, at least the main games, then it isn't a huge thing anymore. If they do some sort of a super kart racer(or gravity ship...), then it could matter to make it exclusive, so it runs/looks better.

Well the question is when are they going to lose this. Sure enough it'll go multi-platform but as of right now we're exclusive and sony holds rights.......Let's just hope they hold them for a good while because i wouldn't want a good franchise being shared amogst the enemies!!! lol

Betty Botter bought a bit of bitter butter, But the bit of bitter butter Betty bought was too bitter, So betty botter bought a better bit of bitter butter, Which was better than the bit of bitter butter Betty bought before. On-topic, why wouldn't it stay exclusive?
