Now that this is over, what does FFXIII acutally mean for MS?

I think many of the gamers here does not understand the significance of this announcement unless you are an asian gamer.

Squaresoft games are the most deciding factor of console purchase more so for asian gamers than western country gamers. The fact is not that FFXIII will go multi-plateform but most of us know Japanese game makers and consumers for the most part are very patriotic. The mere fact that Square-Enix made the choise to go multi-plateform with Xbox 360 is very monumental. The failure of Sony's part for keeping this game staying exclusive cannot be judged face value (do I make sense?) After all, sony had all the advantages and they still failed.

Right now on most major gaming forums throughout asia all agreed Sony is officially defeated this E3, many are cursing for the fact that we had to stay up past midnight just to see the lame show Sony put through (this comment are mostly made by sony supporters).

This is jokingly been posted but very well true a typical day for Taiwanese gamers in July 15th (we are a day ahead of USA)

Get up in the morning to turn on computer

See the news on web about E3 and stunned + Fall silence for 1 minute for the news to soak in

Go to bank around noon and cash out

Get a Xbox 360 and sell PS3

(If VGchartz has been tracking asia sells numbers (apart from Japan obviously) then maybe they can back my claim)

So you know the model for asian gamers and more then everyone else about the significance of this deal? I'm sorry but you are gonna need some empyrical evidence to state these kind of claims of which there is none.
