Wasn't Assassin's Creed announced PS3 Exlusive at E3 last year?

No, it was never exclusive.

 

 Anyway, neither FFXIII or mgs4 are coming to the 360, fanboys can dream and rumours can spread but thats all they will ever be: dreams and rumours. Kojima has essentially stated that it is their mission to "transfuse life" into "sony's war machine, the ps3"[those are direct quotes from the mgs4 page, look them up yourself]

and square has absolutely no interest in releasing many titles on a console that took 2 years to break 500k in japan. FF lives and breathes in the japanese market, the 360 is practically nonexistent there and the wii couldn't handle the game, that leaves one option: ps3. Furthermore they're not going to step on the toes of their third largest shareholder: Sony. Even if they do lose money (which they wont), they have more then enough wii/psp/DS games in the works and DS/psp final fantasy's are proven cash cows. Heck, for all we know the white engine still isn't ready for the 360 as the latest multiplatform news regarded an MMO, it could very well be pc compatibility.

 But of course, fanboys will always whine and when the games finally do come out we'll probably here some of the same people posting about how FF/MGS sucks anyway.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

yes true, in japan they have very little interest in Japan, and that is most likely the reason holding them back, but to save never is rather hard to believe. Kojima cannot determine where this goes, the publisher will, and if MS gives them a nice big gift, you never know. Its the same with SE, it wouldnt be  expensive to port the game, and FF has always sold well in America, not quite Japan sales (usually little more then 1/3, to 3/4 total Japan sales) it could very much contribute. Also again a nice big gift from MS could very well do it.
