Sony fans reactions make me wonder what how the Nintendo owners felt as SE quietly slipped FFVII onto the PS1. Nintendo owners have taken that situation gracefully. |
I don't believe Nintendo fans were happy either, though they probably weren't as vocal as the PlayStation crowd. Either way, the move back then was less about $ and more about fidelity (CD vs Cartridge).
And back then, it was Squaresoft.

They probably weren't as vocal because there was logical reasoning as to why they didn't make FFVII on a Nintendo console. I believe the FF Retrospective on GameTrailers even said that they began development for FFVII on the N64, then they just ran into too many snags, so they switched platforms, because the technology at hand wasn't what they needed for the game they wanted.
Nowadays? Yea Sony, we'll make an exclusive. 3 years later "yea, it's still exclusive". 6 months before release? "Sorry, it's multiplatform now". It's a giant slap in the face. And I mean really, we all knew the PS3 was doing bad in 2007. Why didn't they announce multiplat status of FFXIII then when IT ACTUALLY MADE SENSE TO DO SO, instead of in mid-2008 when the PS3 was rapidly regaining marketshare due to the price cut?
What was the logic? 2007 "The PS3 is doing really terrible right now...but we'll keep our game exclusive to the console". 2008 "The PS3 is really picking up steam, and the userbase is growing to the point where I think it warrants the game being exclusive...but we'll make it multiplat anyway".

Why does it need to be exclusive? Lots of games are not exclusive and they are still good.

Because xbox 360 is the devil lol
