Sega has revealed, by way of Weekly Famitsu, the first real details on its arcade planning for the coming year, outlining the somewhat mythical Lindberg arcade platform and revealing House of the Dead, Virtua Fighter, Virtua Tennis and Afterburner.
And breathe…
Sega is about to show all of the above titles, albeit (from what we have gathered at time of press) in video format only. Although all games were known works in progress except Virtua Tennis 3, this news will put to bed the endless speculation as to which game is destined for which platform…
And, perhaps more importantly, Sega offered the first details on its new coin-op unit, widely rumoured to be based around Xbox 360, taking its lead of course from the Xbox/Chihiro partnership as seen in the current console generation.
Sega outlined Lindberg as:

So if Lindberg is said to be compatible with ps3, that could mean house of the dead and other titles could be ps3 exclusives, when up until now most of them have been xbox exclusive, (eg house of the dead 3 - correct me if im wrong) oh how the winds have changed.

It's a close one - Pentium HT seems to be compatible with both, but it does have an Nvidia graphics chip which is more PS3 territory.
Then again, it's nothing the 360 ATI chip can't handle. It's quite possible it works with both...

Coxy, where is it you claim to have seen that "Lindberg is said to be compatible with ps3"? Both the XBox 360 and The Playstation 3 have a RISC based architecture, while the Intel Pentium class processors are all CISC. Without emulation, there is no way on earth that this new arcade platform is compatible with either system.
