I don't think this will have a massive effect on console sales. But it will definitely boost XBox360 sales and diminish PS3 sales. I don't think it'll be a drastic game changer, but it obviously hurts the PS3, which needs every bit it can get. |
I think this is a huge game changer. One of the biggest Sony exclusive franchises goes multiplat. I told a longtime FF fan who hasn't played video games in a while to get his response. I could hear him wincing.
I liken this to a good football getting stuffed by an underdog - and finally is driving toward the endzone and tosses an interception that gets run back deep into the opponent's territory. No, it's not a grand-slam, but it's definitely a homerun and a devastating blow to Sony and their loyal fans who touted FF was a reason to own a PS3.
EVEN IF Sony pulls it out and miraculously wins this gen, folks will look back on blunders and talk about this one and say this blunder slowed Sonydomination down tremendously. Exclusivity was necessary for this title. It's a huge loss for $ony.
