In unfortunate news for last generation console owners, Mortal Kombat X has been canceled on those systems. WB Games released the following statement regarding the decision.

After months of development, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment has come to the regrettable conclusion that we cannot release Mortal Kombat X for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.  Please know our teams worked diligently to meet the quality standards set by the current-gen versions of the game.  We were not able to get the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions to the quality expected of a Mortal Kombat game and are very sorry for not being able to deliver the products as originally planned.

If you pre-ordered Mortal Kombat X for PS3 or Xbox 360, please go to the retail location where you pre-ordered the game and you will receive a full refund.

My Opinion:

For any gamer who hasn’t made the leap yet and was anticipating playing the game on PS3 or Xbox 360, I can understand why they would be upset. Yet, I can respect the fact that WB Games didn’t want to release a subpar version of what I feel has been one of the best games released this year.
