When does Sony reach the point of no return in Japan?

albionus said: Well FFXIII is most likely not going to be a PS3 exclusive but since it's not coming to the Wii (I seriously doubt they would go through the trouble of downgrading the graphics) it will be an exclusive in Japan for all intents and purposes. What wouldn't surprise me is if Square makes 2 chapters, essentially games, the PS3 and a new Wii one. Either that or they scale back the PS3 FFXIII to put resources into a side quest for the Wii. I would be very surprised if Square took the financial hit of releasing a hugely espensive game only on the PS3. The financial reasons not to are simply too great as every other developer is discovering. Squares trade show is coming up and the reportedly have big news about FFXIII and a new game on an unspecified console so we'll see what's going on in May.

FFXIII is not going to the Wii, Square has been thru this with the PS1. Their sales were weaker than only to pick up after FF7 was released, and with PS3 sales picking up and the fact they have been working on it for a while, they won't release it on another system other than PS3. The big news is most likely a release date and a new game will not be a FF game and if it is, it will be crystal chronicles crap like game, like they did for the GC. I wouldn't get my hope up that square would go thru the hassle of changing a game to fit a weaker system and alter the controls this far in. every other developer is discovering? Like who? I know they lost exclusives to the 360, but thats more due to the CEO being a lazy bastard than anything, in fact they lost most of them last gen anyway. GTA was lost since San Andreas, which was on the XB and FF which was on the GC as a cheap sidegame. So sony lost some before the PS3 was even out, so no it's not because the PS3 is selling bad..even with the fact it's selling better than the 360 when it came out and than the PS1 did when it started..But square didn't seem to mind making FF7 for them. There is no sense it switching now, it'll be a PS3 only title until I see otherwise. The PS3 is fine and I don't see why N fans are so fast at saying its dead and the wii will rule all. Too soon to tell.
