@kain:

Where did I write this:

I reject your notion that exclusive 3rd party games aren't as likely to be as good as 1st party games.


Doesn't the release of a 2nd party game to other consoles allows more gamers to be able to enjoy those games? Why make the exception if your desire is for more gamers to access more games? Can't you wish for Gears multiplatform as well, especially when the Gears IP is Epic's? You say you wouldn't mind but, can you actually wish for it and write it here, like you do for FFVs13?

But why do you want "I seek nothing but to see Sony as the strongest gaming console and keep securing its place in the gaming industry along with its games." It's not like you gain anything. If Sony stoped making consoles you'd just move to another console. That's what Sega fans did. They didn't lose out on great games, they just moved on to other machines. I don't understand you're need to have Sony take games away from gamers without their consoles.

Sony first party games, God of War, Uncharted, Killzone, LBP, Infamous, are among the most meaningful experiences I have in gaming. I support everything that strengthens the company that releases those games.

You said: "There is benefit in having FFVsXIII as exclusive." I thought yoou meant that being exclusive makes games better. But if you just mean it's good for Sony, well, that's a selfish way to look at things. I replied assuming that you meant exclusive is better than multiplatform and that's the notion I responded to.

Anyway, Like I said Gears of War was paid for by MS from the start. It is under contract by MS. If MS doesn't renew the contract then more gamers will get to play it. That would be a good thing. But until MS decided it doesn't want to pay for Gears of War I going to continue to consider it in the same company as other 1st and 2nd party exclusives. If it does go multiplatform in the future I can assure you I won't complain just like I didn't complain when Mass Effect went multiplatform or when Bioshock went multiplatform.

I am not wishing for Final Fantasy to leave Sony. I want it and all 3rd party games, not under contract, to be available to as many people as possible. To me a 2nd party game is no different than a 1st party game. It deserves to be on a single platform. But 3rd party games should always be multiplatform because they have no reason to be exclusive.

I'm glad you enjoy Sony's great games. Final Fantasy isn't one of them. Final Fantasy is a Square Enix franchise and hold no allegiance to Sony or Sony fans. Square has put Final Fantasy on almost everything. It was on Nintendo first and it has been on so many others I don't feel like listing them. FF Vs XIII has no obligation to be exclusive and unless Sony pays for it it should be multiplatform.

I really don't understand Final Fantasy fans. It's hopped around so many platforms that you couldn't just own Sony machines to play them all. What if Square Enix decided to make all future Final Fantasy games exclusive to Wii U? Would they follow it to Wii U or complain that it should be on PS4? If they were real fans they would follow it. If they only want it so Sony "wins" than they aren't really fans of Final Fantasy.

You seem to think I'm some kind of Xbot warrior. You have such a strong loyalty to Sony I think you assume that everyone else feels the same about their favorite game companies. I own and play them all. I have my favorite games like Halo, but that doesn't mean that I want only MS to succeed. I want PC,  MS, Nintendo and Sony fans to get the best games. If it's 3rd party they should all get to play. If it's 2nd or 1st party than you'll just have to buy the console if you want to play it badly enough. Sony has not yet paid for FF XIII so it should be multiplatform. Wishing for it to be exclusive makes no sense to me, whatsoever.
