he actually said that because it sold most in Japan that means that exclusives sell better??? It being exclusive means nothing, it is a cultural phenomenon in Japan. By the same token i can say it's the lowest selling FF since FF4 in Japan, and that is also a fact. Both are terribly misleading.

Tekken not selling anymore has nothing to do with it being multiplat, nobody wanted tekken anymore. It used to be popular, but popularity fades and Tekken hasn't changed all that much since the PS1 days. You can say this about so many games, Virtua Fighter used to be a million seller in Japan, and VF4 sold 750k in Japan, then VF5 can't even break 100k.

There are examples of games doing better because they are exclusive, but that is difficult and risky. The gamecube had some games like that, but that doesn't mean you should start making tons of exclusives. There were far more examples of games that would have sold better as multiplatform.

 You must remember that Japan has a bias to the 360 which is why the PS3 version of the game remained exclusive in Japan. Microsoft had to do some clever work to make the Japanese believe to even had to buy 360's in the first place. It isn't exactly Microsofts fault that Japan has made it clear that they will support the home business (Sony/Nintendo) over the outsiders no matter how close in value no matter how similar in value they are. Microsoft had the better price, but that didn't matter to them.

You're acting like the 360's sales were horrible or something.

Square Enix are whore's riddled with STD's.

XIII is full of bad gameplay, story, plot and dialog screw ups.

If they would really wait until the PS3 version of FFV13 is finished and shipped and put into the market so that AFTER they start work for the Xbopx36 version, then I wouldn't mind because the problem would resolve itself. It would be funny to see them trying to port that.

But the fact is that they will not do a thing like this, this will result in delays and taking decisions to balance the versions, not allowing the PS3 version to take advantage of the capabilities of the monster it is meant to be played in.

This! Its too bad they keep pandering to those obsolete Xbox 360, PS3 and Wii consoles. They really ought to port it to the monster which is the PC.

All this is happened because Square-Enix has committed "Public Sudoku"!

See, Square-Enix needs to repent.  Because they have done games on the XBox system, they are domed!

Can I use the logic of 'the x platform sold so much better than the y platform, so the port wasn't really justified' here? Like Bioshock, NG:Sigma2, Eternal Sonata, and Lost Planet. Sure, FFXIII wasn't a late port, but the sales, comparitively were that of one

This.  They don't have any more or less brand loyalty now than they ever had in the past.  They stayed with the Playstation brand exclusively because it was so dominate they had no reason to look elsewhere.  That was simply where the money was and that is no longer the reality. 

Honestly, I feel like this thread is mostly just people pouting because they lost an exclusive.

The PC is a cheap prostitute whose vulgar dances are pushed by the amount of jewellery thrown at her.
