I still see a ds version.

For Final Fantasy XIII? Now that is by far the worst thing I have ever heard... graphical hit, sound hit, gameplay hit, less customization for sure, so much removed just to try to make it fit... the list goes on...

I am really looking forward to Lost Odyssey to be downsized so I can play it on the Zune.

*sigh*... I give up.

I don't think so. First of all the userbase would most likely be in the 90s or 100s by the time it is released. Square has been giving the ds more support than any other console this generation. If it fails on the ps3 it isn't going to go to wii. They are going to just make a new version for the ds. I already said it won't be the same game. It would be like CoD4 for ds or Assasin's Creed for the ds.

Maybe you just don't want to understand... but FF XIII on DS is not possible. It wouldn't be a port, it would need to be made from scratch. If it fails once, why waste more resources trying to do it again? The company has almost went bankrupt twice trying shit that made no sense... last time lost them both Sakaguchi and Uematsu... I doubt they will do it again.

 That is what I said. It would be built out of nothing. The cost of making a ds game is about a hundredth of a ps3 game. It wouldn't bankrupt them. That is why I see  a ds version released with the console version. Even if only 1% of people with the ds buy it that is around 1 million people. That would compesate for the losses the ps3 version would have if it failed. I also think it's not likely for it to be on anything other than the ps3. I just , said if they did decide to put it on another console it would be the ds. 

 You still do not understand. If it was released on both, the DS version would have SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much left out. It would be a vastly inferior version with a different combat system, lack of FMV to keep the story moving, quality music to keep you going, etc...

They would not be the same game. Just not possible. When they made a follow up to XII on the DS, do you know why they had a different combat system? That's right, the FFXII combat system just wasn't possible on the DS.

Must I put more O's in the word "so" to get this point across?

So PS3 would fail, hypothetically, now SE wants to remake it for the DS, everything gets changed, everything. Now it gets released... now with 2 entirely different games which is actually XIII? Will they fit Versus on the DS too? We all know how Kingdom Hearts worked out on the GBA.

It is like taking Gears of War and getting it work on the DS... just ain't happening.Assassin's Creed couldn't even work... yet you think a Final Fantasy will?
