Final Fantasy XIII

The game was exclusive for the longest time and then they decided to change.  It wasn't originally exclusive because they were owned by Sony in any way, they just wanted to release only on the PS3.  Someone that could put 2 and 2 together eventually realized they could make more money releasing on the 360 as well so they did that.  It was no longer an exclusive.

And you could make the argument that they didn't lose an exclusive because it was never released as an exclusive, and to that I say...so?


Um it wasnt even a PS3 game initially it started out as a PS2 game using White Engine, then scrapped and started over with Crystal Tools which is basically an upgraded White Engine that Square went out of it way to declare as as a cross platform tool long before the 360 version was even announced.

the bundle is $399.99 at retail so $350 for selling online with ebay was what I estimated it might go for I don't know a retailer where you can buy it for less than that...so to answer your question I believe a lot of people would rather pay $350 than $400...but I'm just guessing here



wow cry me a river. Some people are so petty and insecure its unbelievable. People like the ones in this video are what give gamers a bad name.

I same what understand their feeling.

If some one took my favorite franchise and defiled it by making it muti thus degrading its quality id be pissed to.

Um, FF has been on other platforms... Heck it BEGAN on a different platform...

reading or comprehension problem ?

By making FF13 multi platform they sacraficed quality.

Wait.....so having all those FF's as ps2 exclusives was also sarificing quality (as the ps2 was the weakest console last gen)?

I am in utter shock.....



N64 is the ONLY console of the fifth generation!!!

This thread is too funny. And by the way, the people booing aren't winning a free Xbox. They're in the audience. The only ones who might win a free Xbox are the five people on stage who aren't booing. So, yes the booing is because some of the people there don't like Xbox or the fact that the game was ported to the 360.

It's their opinion. Who cares.



I am booing Oblivion on the PS3! Hey, need to bring balance back to things.



Ahhhhh hahahaha! That was so funny. What's even funnier is that this would have been totally predictable; yet they went ahead with the 360 give away anyway. Did they think it would be mostly 360 fans turning up to the event?

And funnier still is the fact that PS3 fans booing 360 has given massive free publicity to FFXIII on 360 all over Youtube.

I say the boo'ers were Microsoft plants, because who comes out looking good in all this? Not PS3, not Sony and certainly not Sony fans. CONSPIRACY!!!

They wouldn't want to sacrafice potential sales which is why they sacraficed the quality of the games. Which is precisely what they did in this generation too. Funny how thats suddenly not acceptable!
