| makingmusic476 said: Is the general consensus that this game will come to the ps3? I figured after the Wii's take off, they'd have more Nintendo fans saying it would head their way. I think it will hit the ps3 for three reasons: 1. From what I've seen, most fans want a graphical update moreso than a gameplay update, and that's the opposite of the Wii's MO. 2. Remember those tech demos of FFVII they made with the White Engine? Yeah, those aren't possible on the Wii. :P 3. Why divide the FF fan-base between two consoles? If the Japanese stick with the trend of adopting only one console, then most FF diehards will jump on the ps3 bandwagon because of FFXIII, and if FFVII then hits the Wii...well, I just don't think SE would do that. :P Although, I still don't really believe the whole "Japanese people only buy one console per gen" thing. That's just what I've been told on here and other sites for quite a while. |
Most people only buy one console per generation. What you are referring to is that Japan historically has only bought one console as a whole.
In other words,(historically speaking) since the Wii is successful the PS3 will never be particularly successful. Japan has a habit of picking one system early and then only supporting that system. Not that individuals only buy one console.
Historically speaking it's very unlikely PS3 will be anything but a very distant second comapred to how well PS3 will do vs Wii in Europe or either 360 or PS3 will do vs wii in America.
So if Japanese userbase was your only concern... putting your game on the Wii is going to make the most sense based on history.
Which really isn't an issue with Final Fantasy 7.
FF7 could end up on the Wii or PS3. I'd guess the PS3 mostly due to the fact that Sony would pay a lot more for it.
Square-Enix could probably get another headquarters out of the deal.
