Starcraft: WTF. You're really playing with fire here. Your very close to 45 days of vacation.

This is just frustrating.
Regardless of how you spin it, the game is being delayed because of one platform.
And that has nothing to do with the PS3's "weak memory"

 

This is just total BS. Final Fantasy XIII will release in Japan earliest end 2009, which has zero to do with the 360 version, which won't be in Japan. IF FFXIII gets delayed again it's DQ9's fault for not releasing in the previous financial year.

I know it sounds weird, but localization for Final Fantasies (or JRPGs in general) takes time... 

 

 Hmm... so why both versions (X360, PS3) will be released at the same time?

You know... if MS bought FFXIII, obviously they sign a contract to prevent PS3 releases before.

If they hadn't done this FF fans on 360 would have buy PS3 and PS3 version...

WTF are you talking about? Final Fantasy hasn't even released yet on PS3, meanwhile they're working on the 360 port (which should be in the works for at least a year now), which can continue during the localization for the US and Europe. And Microsoft didn't bought FFXIII. It  makes perfect business sense to release games on the 360. Or haven't you been paying attention to say RE5.

99% of the people won't buy a second console to play a single game, so no, people would have simply not bought FFXIII, which is SE's loss. And since FFXIII was PS3 exclusive when most of these people bought a 360 they obviously didn't care for FFXIII too much, otherwise they'd have bought a PS3.

 

Jajaja, so do you think MS didn't pay for FFXIII?

It could, but there's no evidence to support this and again: it makes business sense to go multiplat. The American core-games market is dominated by 360 software, just face it. I'm sure Microsoft offered incentives for FFXIII to come to 360, but I'm also sure Square didn't have any trouble making the decision after the lackuster PS3 sales became clear.

Yes, they did and when you buy something you do a contract...  tell me why FFXIII won't have a US release this year... oh... they need a fucking year to localize? They 4, 5 or 6 months man but one year??? NO WAY... they need more time for EU.

You obviously have never waited for the localization of a Japanese game before.

No, MS didn't bought GTA4 DLC either..

In fact: No, they didn't. They offered T2 a loan. Which means they get the money back so didn't buy anything. Extremely smart business.

Final Fantasy XIII will be available in Japan this year for PS3, why won't be in USA and why it will be release at the same time that X360 version?

Because most people in the US can't read/understand Japanese. And obviously if you decide to make a 360 version it makes no sense to spread your marketing effort across two seperate launches. This doesn't mean the PS3 game is delayed because of the 360 version, there's no evidence to support this. Especially since Cruystal Tools is compatible to 360.

I know lot of people that would have bought a PS3 if FFXIII was exclusive.... Oh wait ...no, people didn't bought a Wii to play Mario, didn't bought X360 to play Halo 3 and won't buy PS3 with GT5

Yes, of course it's a major blow for PS3, that's not what I said. You said that 360 owners would have bought a PS3 for FFXIII, which is nonsense, because if they wanted FFXIII they wouldn't have bought a 360 in the first place (ignoring the 1-2% of multiplatform owners).
