Will the FF13 Multiplat announcement really effect the console wars?

I think not.


Let's be honest here, with the way this game is coming along it's not likely to be released until mid to late 2009 in Japan.  Thanks to the 360 we'll probably be looking at a mid to late 2010 (maybe Q1 2011) release in the west, this means that by the time this game comes out, the console wars will effectively be decided. The only true effect FF13 will have on the console wars is in Japan, because it will be released when it still actually matters.

Any one agree?

Edit: Obviously it will effect the wars by not getting the boost it would have shown for the PS3, but I'm talking now that the game is multi-platform.

I was thinking the same thing earlier today.  About this announcement meaning that FF13 won't make it out of Japan before 2010.  Hell, it is pretty much the same video we have been watching for the last 2 (or is it 3?) years.  We certainly know now that FF14 won't make it this generation, and if FF versus 13 follows the same path, all those "Which console will KH3 be on" threads will be the biggest waste of time that this website has seen.  Because it would cause at least a year delay of v13 and the KH team won't be able to work fast enough to put it out on one of these three consoles.
