Has Sony even launched a game on multiple platforms at the same time before now? And in countries that don't have PSN?

Big whoop, making games available to more people means more people can buy it. What an idea.

PC + PS release is otdinary for them.

Simultaneously?

They've published plenty of games on PC by now, but have they done so on day one before?

I can't think of one. PC sales can't contribute to initial sales if the PC version comes out 1-2 years later.

You're right, I was confusing it with games that were launched on many platforms on day one, but HD2 is indeed the first Sony Exclusive to do so, and I've now read that that's going to be their new tactic going forward.
