There's really someone who wouldn't buy a game due to non-exclusivity?

Nah, they probably all killed themselves by now.

I have to keep saying this whenever it comes to former PS3 exclusives and "neglecting install base":

Kojima and Konami did it in 2008 when the PS3 was at less than half the install base it's at now, and MGS4 boosted their profits for what? 3 fiscal quarters? Maybe 4? All the while "ignoring the 360 install base".

 

So much WIN! In a single post. How do you do it?

Take a step back and read the post. It doesn't make any sense. Now stop your cheerleading. It's annoying

I just wish they release as DLC all the parts that were cut off.

You're right!

Blame them for making such a fantastic game! Darn you Square!

I dont think read the context... OP blaming whatever issue he has with FFXlll's score as if it occurred because it was on 360, not FFXlll is any shape or form a bad game.. im sure its amazing.

keeping the game as a PS3 exclusive would be a RETARDED move on Square's part IMO.

Why? Sony is nowhere near the position they were the last two generations. With PS1 and PS2, Sony dominated the market. Their consoles were like the Wii of this generation. This generation, however, PS3 ended up being a HUGE disappointment compared to its predecessors. And I don't mean just hardware sales. Software sales for many PS3 games are extremely disappointing imo.

Square keeping Final Fantasy XIII exclusive would virtually outcast the 38 million people who own Xbox 360's around the world. Bringing the game to 360 was an AMAZING decision because it more than doubles the number of people who have access to playing the game. Which do you think Square cares more for? Stupid biased reviews bringing their game down to an 83/8.3 on game rankings/meta critic, or the possibility of selling millions more? We all know critics and reviewers have been putting down JRPG's recently anyways.

When all is said and done, Final Fantasy XIII 360 should be a million seller by itself. This enough warrants the fact that Square brought it over. I for one am proud of them, and the game has not only met my expectations, it has shattered them in every way possible. It easily ranks in the top 5 games of the series, third only to Final Fantasy VII and XII. It is now my second favorite game this generation, only behind MGS4.

wow!!! one example!!! out of how many exclusive games? How about Devil Mary Cry? Resident Evil? Grand Theft Auto? Would all these games have done better if they were PS3 exclusive? I can't believe you are so far in denial. face the facts boys, PS3 exclusives cant pull in the numbers, so Square realized that going multiplatform would bring in more green. Extremely smart decision from a business stand point.

The game should have been made for the Wii as well, then the 360 version wouldn't get blamed as much.

Does anyone agree that putting the 360 into the focus of development of this game was a bad idea?

I highly doubt that the 360 version has anything at all to do with the review scores.
