LOL.

The article says they could phase out the 360 version. 

A quick phone call to GAME made my friend laugh. His reply ( He's the manager of my local GAME )

" If we are phasing out FF13, then we will phase out every JRPG on 360. Because FF13 is the best selling 360 JRPG. Stocks will lower, but we will always stock it. To be honest the PS3 version isnt all that great either anymore. "

So according to the OP article, Lost Odyssey, Tales, TLR, IU and the rest of JRPG's could be phased out completely.

Oh dear. A slow news day. 

Last time I checked:

Last 4 weeks of sales in Europe for FF13 on both PS3 and 360. 

PS3:                                             360:

9,882                                            12,672

8,844                                            11,806

6,946                                            7,009

8,383                                            6,395

 

 

Next thread. 

Final Fantasy XIII to be phased out completely due to 360 version selling currently better than PS3 version in Europe.

 

LOL.

PS3 version: still full price

360 version: half off

Of course it'll sell better at the moment (hence the potential phase out), but look, 360 sales drop, PS3 sales stablilize

Dont be rediculous.

The article is full of holes and BS comments.

First up excluding the sales of Japan for FF13. 

PS3 sales is 2.2 million.

360 sales 1.41 million. 

Not a big gap. Oh no, COD 4 has sold over 2 million more on 360. PS3 version must be phasing out of stock. LOL.

And everywhere the high street in UK has FF13 on both platforms virtually the same price. Here is UK's LARGEST video games retailer.

Here is the shock for you. The collectors Edition on 360 is £5 more expensive on the high street than Ps3 version. 

Again the article is a load of bollocks. Yeah a game that has sold 1.4 million in less than 3 months on a single platform is really gonna be phased out. LOL.

and the 360 had an excklusive advertising campaign

leave platform exclusivity,advertising by SONY would have alone stolen many of 360's sales

 

if PS3 was exclusive it would have gotten way more attention than it did,like MGS4 big time

SONY would have marketed it big time and it is is one of the long lasting elite franchise

it would have easily done the 360 and PS3 numbers plus some more on PS3 alone
