Developing taking the strengths of the PS3 = no decent 360 version.



Nintendo is selling their IPs to Microsoft and this is true because:

So, Sony lost one of the last 3rd party exclusives, huh? Well, Mass Effect 2 and now this. Times are good.

NO NO, NO NO NO.

Even if being a PS3 exclusive would have helped sales, I still think it would be struggling to surpass XII.

A lot of 360 owners bought FFXIII because was already on the console they own. You can't assume many of them would actually have bought a PS3 for it.

What "media backlash"? You mean FF fans pissing and moaning on the web? The major gaming websites and magazines gave it great reviews. That seems to matter more than "media backlash."

I disagree. FFXII has sold 5.6 Million in 4 years. FFXIII on the PS3 alone has sold 4.2 Million in under a year. Those sales would be inflated by a LOT if there was no 360 version. In under a year it would be already pretty close to FFXII, so I don't see how it would be struggling. Even if it did struggle... Selling 5.6 Million units is no small feat... Never mind in under a year.

You can't assume they wouldn't have done neither...

And the media backlash of the game itself. Not all major gaming websites/mags gave it great reviews, a lot of them bashed it. It was slated for being way too linear. It was in development for so long, yet didn't meet a LOT of peoples expectations. It's STILL getting backlash now, with the stupid "360 adverts used PS3 footage" stuff coming out. Magazines weren't giving it the usual 9/10, 10/10 reviews we've come to expect from Final Fantasy. Yes, the fans were pissed off and ranting like crazy. That adds to it all. Even down to the booing of the 360 at the launch party.

Bear in mind I said FFXIII would still be struggling to surpass FFXII without the 360 port. I didn't say it would never happen.

The publications that bashed it aren't the major websites and magazines. Hence, getting great scores from IGN and Gamespot is far more important than the opinions of small websites.

The booing was just dumb fans. They were big enough Sony fans to boo the 360, but it doesn't appear going multiplat was a big enough issue to keep them from buying the game.

Again. You can't say that. There is no proof. You just THINK it would be struggling.

If you say so. Can't be bothered anymore. It's too late and I'm tired... Going to bed ¬_¬

Mass Effect 2 was never a 3rd party exclusive

Gears of War 3 on the other hand... IS a 3rd party exclusive.

I kind of wish that versus 13 stayed on the ps3 for like 1 year exclusively. NO matter how you look at it this was suppose to be an important game for th PS3. I kind of wish S.E. let the ps3 have at least 1 exclusive ff this gen. overall im not happy with square enix this gen. Im not really happy with japan at all this gen. Probably longest dev times in gaming history. Holding back other parts of the world in social gaming (im looking at you scej). Making games more western like and loosing its japan authenticity which made the games awesome in the first place. And still no tales of vesperia for ps3??

In part this is probably sony's fault too. They could secure MGS4 but not ffv13??? 

 

The only japanese made game i am happy with this gen was probably MGS4

Well I wonder if they do annoucne it for the 360 will it be at the same time.



Ari_Gold on 07 September 2010

yayyyy, 70 million people will have the access tu play a game instead of 30 million. Great move S-E.



whatever on 07 September 2010

Anyways, I'd say everyone is jumping the gun a bit here.  I wouldn't be surprised if it went either way at this point.  Don't really care either.



qmoney88 on 07 September 2010

The only thing I will say just like many on here is that I hope and pray that the 360 port does not delay the ps3 release.  I dont care if they come out the same day it just better not be at a later date than what was originally planned.  Feels like Ive been waiting forever for this game.
