Everyone needs to get over this garbage. Most games are multiplat or timed exclusives. I am pretty sure Bioshock and Mass Effect 2 will be on PS3 or a spin off thing for Wii since the creators are looking for developers who understand PS3 and Wii dev kits. First of all, this is not the same situation as N64 because the PS3 is still getting the games even though it isn't exclusive. N64 was a great system, but they never was anything that was multiplat on that system except sports games for the most part. Times have changed, it happens. Everyone is a copycat nowadays. Just look at the rest of the 360 stuff other than the Square announcement, it was basically miis on 360.
Everyone thought that Sony was done for when DMC4 and GTA 4 were announced for 360, but sony is still around. Both DMC4 and GTA 4 did not spike hardware sales on either platform. I was surprised to see that 360 saled did not go up when GTA 4 came out due to exclusive content.
If you are a person who buys a system for 1 game only that is your stupid fault. Everyone knew this was going to happen. There have been statements made by square all the way back in early 07 about the cost of FF 13 and that they probably would have to multiplatform the game. Then they said that the cost of the game was really putting a hurting on them financially and that they wanted a publisher to absorb some of the costs. Then they came out and announced the crystal tools engine on PS3, 360, and Wii. Then when the list of games of e3 08 shows up and FF isn't even on the list. Those were 4 strong hints that the FF 13 was not going to stay exclusive. I guess it still is somewhat of a shocker, but not as big as people are making it out to be. If you have been paying attention to the industry, it shouldn't be that much of a heart stopper.
