| deadhorse said: When 3 times as many people own an Xbox 360 and Final Fantasy is huge in the U.S. then they would have a lot to gain by porting it to the 360. |
Another thing to consider is how much of the 360 userbase would buy FF comapared to the number of people in the PS3 userbase? Not to stereotype, but don't most of the people who have 360s couldn't care less about RPGs?
But, maybe some RPG fans will tack on the 360 when Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey - both of which are currently subsidised by M$ to gain more market share in Japan. However these games are the only reason that I'll be getting a 360 for as I couldn't care less about shooters.
If FFXIII goes over, it would probably be a year later before going to the 360. In Japan, it's definitely better to release it on the PS3 first as it does have a larger userbase. FFVII & FFVIII both went to the PC about a year later. It is possible as the White Engine is supposed to be multi-platform, but much of the cell-specific development would have to be redone for other CPUs.
If Xbox is proudly going to support the SD DVD format, I hope that more developers will follow suit like Blue Dragon and release multi-disc games. I really hate the trend that all games need to be released on one disc no matter how much they are compromised in length.
I don't really see the cost savings in the 360 as much as other people with all the stuff that has to be tacked on afterward with the wireless, online service, etc.
As a Videophile, the PS3 is an awesome deal with the Blu-ray. I love watching HD movies and it's hard to go back to SD DVD.
I do plan on getting 360, just not for shooters.
"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY." --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials
