| shams said: Nothing can beat the FFXIII announcement - its the biggest thing in the last 3-4 years IMO. Bigger then GTA, etc. Ignoring that, Ninty should beat the MS conference - but I think MS just scored an instant knockout (against Sony at least), with news that can't be topped. |
Nothing in the past 3-4 years beats the WiiMote's unveiling. FF13 costs Sony some gamers. The WiiMote changed the entire market.
As for the FF13 announcement, it seems to me to be more bragging rights than anything else. It isn't going to make it to the US/PAL regions until late 2009 or - much more likely, 2010. It's impact at that point is likely to be minimal, especially if Sony has caught up with MS sales by then. The one place it *really* could have helped was in Japan, which, supposedly, won't be getting the 360 version. It would have been a much bigger deal if MS had gotten exlusivity (even timed) to FF13, or was able to completey castrate Sony's exclusives by announcing MGS4 for the 360 too. But as it is there is no reason today for those planning on buying a PS3 to change their mind.
