Haha, Microsoft's been destined to loose the FFXIII battle from the start.  All the advertisement they've paid for is just money down the toilet.  People will buy the game for whichever format they prefer the most.  And it won't sell any systems as it is multiplatform.  Another fail for Microsoft marketing.

The goal is encourage people to purchase the 360 console over the PS3 console. Not to convince PS3 owners to buy FFXIII on the 360. UHHH DURHHHH!!!!

Lets not forget Sony did the same thing for Assassin's Creed 2.

Maybe MS plan is to make people buy as many PS3s as possible before they turn profitable.

I imagine MS looks at having FFXIII as a defense strategy. I doubt they ever figured they would outsell the PS3 version. The strategy is likely that they consider every 360 copy sold as a save against someone jumping platforms.

Very true, FFXIII will probably go down as the most anticipated JRPG this gen. Putting FFXIII on the 360 definitely had a negative impact on potential PS3 sales.

Whats the big deal?

Ive played both versions and noticed no difference. LOL.

It doesnt help that I'll probably take my copy back due to how bad the game is.

You say another fail for M$ marketing. This gen M$ marketting has absolutely destroyed Sony's. Anyone would agree that Marketing is where M$ are strong this gen.

Being so weak at QA they had to make up for it somewhere else.
