Er, are you sure about that?
| perpride said: 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. |
The PS2 and PS3 are pretty close to each other in regards to when the first Final Fantasy was released on the repective platform.
And besides the game will easily hit 4 million on the PS3. Whereas the 360 version may reach 750k to a million.
I don't see it as worth the effort of putting it on two platforms. That "extra" 750k to 1 million would have been on PS3. Final Fantasy XIII's multiplatform release "strategy" will not expand the franchise.

On the positive side it's the second best reviewed JRPG for this generation. |
That should tell you something about the genre this gen.
360 is hitting 5 years old this year.
PS3 is hitting 4 years old this year.
Wii is hitting 4 years old this year.
At this point last year we had more triple A games and way better selection of JRPG's.
It's squre enix's fault for not getting the game out soonner.
An' so far its a copy an' paste of FFX. pfft. whatever..

Final Fantasy X is my favorite of the FF games. When people started saying that XIII is very much like X I was excited about it again, but then I thought back to all the things that were released about the game in the month before release and it killed it again.

It is funny you say that...I have heard many times before that porting a game to another console for the sake of 1-1.5 million copies is not worth it.
Leatherhat on July 6th, 2012 3pm. Vita sales:"3 mil for COD 2 mil for AC. Maybe more. " thehusbo on July 6th, 2012 5pm. Vita sales:"5 mil for COD 2.2 mil for AC."

Does anyone agree that putting the 360 into the focus of development of this game was a bad idea? |
Oh i agree very much.

Not to mention you're also assuming htose 38 mil 360 owners dont overlap with the 32.5 mil ps3 owners. If the game was ps3 exclusive, they honestly wouldn't be losing that many sales, consdering 1) this overlap and 2) how many people would buy a console for FF13.
And back on topic of the scores. It's a fantastic game and I don't see how it's any more linear than FFX, which got amazing reviews. I think the thing that bugs reviewers the most is that there are no towns, and that takes a lot out of an RPG experience, and unnecessarily speeds up the pacing quite a bit.

could you guys please explain what makes you more qualified than Square Enix to make such statements? It's their game, if they decided to go multiplatform, I believe their reason is damn good.
