I thought it was funny as hell.

square is stupid to bring anything to the 360, that system will fail terribly.

It seems to be doing pretty well in the largest market in the world and is treading water in the second largest.

Which, I might add, is more that can be said for the PS3.

Hey, if Leo says the 360 will fail, it must be so. He is VGC's Pachter, after all. Tell us your next famous prediction, Leo. Let me guess ... FFVII:CC on PSP to sell 10 million?

I like Leo-J's theory the Wii will only sell as much as the GC did and the DS only as much as the GBA did.

As other people said, this is old news. This article from March from this Xbox site says the same thing:

http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/2007/03/22/ffxiii-not-exclusive-to-ps3-after-all/

The fact that he mentions that the White Knight Engine is multiplatform may mean something in the future, but the news itself is pretty old.

How much has the GBA sold anyways?

And Leo's is shockingly not that bad of a theory but I suspect add another 10 - 20 million on top of each and it would be even more plausible.

Anyways, the White Engine's main platform is the PS3 no matter how you look at it. It will run better on the PS3.

I dont really see FFXIII or FFvXIII going to the 360, but the unannounced MMO will be PS3/360/PC with little doubt. Maybe the new MMO is a spin-off to FFXIII or even FFXIV.

I see nothing wrong in porting such big games. Good games cost money. As long as PS3 is the main platform Sony wins.

Square-Enix is in a really tough position. They've already sunk a ton of money on making this game for the PS3, but they won't have a very large installed base to sell to if they release it as a PS3 exclusive. Of course, if it stays exclusive, FFXIII will sell a lot of PS3s, but Square-Enix won't sell as many copies of FFXIII as it would selling a game to an installed base that is already large. As a PS3 exclusive, FFXIII would have to have above a 50% attach rate to match the success of its predecessors.

It would probably be pretty easy to release FFXIII on the 360, but that wouldn't help Square-Enix at all in Japan. To release it on the Wii they'd have to redo most of the game assets.

So Square-Enix has four options: release FFXIII as a PS3 exclusive and accept weak sales, release FFXIII for PS3 and 360 and accept weak sales in Japan, release FFXIII for the PS3 and Wii and accept the added cost of porting the game to the Wii, or cut FFXIII's budget and shift the funds to other titles in the Fabula Nova Crystallis fleet and declare that there is no main FFXIII and that the PS3 FFXIII isn't any more important than the other Fabula Nova Crystallis titles.

I don't think that Square-Enix is willing to accept weak sales in Japan for one of their flagship games. So I predict they'll either port it to the Wii or demote it from flagship status.
