SE is chasing fool's gold...lol...the article's author needs to get a reality check.


well SE's only big hit this gen is FF13! so maybe are chasing fools gold? just a thought. nothing to debate.

So I get it "big hit" is a game that sells more than 5 million of copies right?

How many "big hits" has Sony had this gen?

But the fact is that they will not do a thing like this, this will result in delays and taking decisions to balance the versions, not allowing the PS3 version to take advantage of the capabilities of the monster it is meant to be played in.

This! Its too bad they keep pandering to those obsolete Xbox 360, PS3 and Wii consoles. They really ought to port it to the monster which is the PC.


The PC is a cheap prostitute whose vulgar dances are pushed by the amount of jewellery thrown at her.

True!



Tease.

Funny thing is, they said they brought FFXIII to the 360 to "expand the series in the West"....and the PS3 version outsold it..in the West

You're acting like the 360's sales were horrible or something.

Can I use the logic of 'the x platform sold so much better than the y platform, so the port wasn't really justified' here? Like Bioshock, NG:Sigma2, Eternal Sonata, and Lost Planet. Sure, FFXIII wasn't a late port, but the sales, comparitively were that of one

FFXIII will probably sell 2 mil LTD on the 360 which isn't bad at all. You guys must really hate the 360. Square Enix needs all the funds they can get.

I have no clue, but your username with this post made me laugh.

OT:

This has to be one of the most annoying threads I've read yet.

It's pure and simple COMMON SENSE that multi-platform games DO sell better. You don't have to analyze it because there's nothing to analyze.

Squeenix is a 3rd party, which means they couldn't give two craps about maintaining the sales or attach ratio of a console, they want more money.

Explain how in the world of rationality and logic it being exclusive could possibly in any way make the game better.

Actually, let me answer the question for you.

There is no way.

Console loyalty is not an excuse to want a game to be exclusive! Do you prefer to alienate people due to the fact they didn't want a PS3? Just saying "Nooo, it's mine" is a much more healthy option than letting more people enjoy the game?

True fans of the game would want as many people to play and enjoy it as possible and not isolate them due to an irrational want of exclusivity.

it is fact exclusives technically bettr. luk at gow3, uncharted 2, mgs4. ffversus xiii will be action rpg, it needs to be in same league as mgs4, gow3 & uncharted 2. only exclusivity will get it ther. it needs to have world maps & airships (be done on ps3 only). then u need to see tht ff13 didnt have backtracking because of xbox discs, versus shud hve backtracking too. they will fill blu-ray to maximum level.

OK: How does it being exclusive make it better?
