Pretty much.  The protracted, expensive R&D cycle is why Versus will go multi.  Just as it was for FFXIII.

The only way Versus stays exclusive is if Sony ponies up and pays for it.  Otherwise it'll be on 360, probably day-and-date in the west.

See.

That's what hugely annoys me about it.

Delaying the PS3 version for the 360 version FUCKS ME OFF!! >:(

wut delay... we never had a release date anyway.... >_>

So it will be one time.. on both consoles... ;)

I'm not really sure since I really don't expect ff13 for japan to sell that much at all, but I guess the more profit the better. So I think ffv13 might go multi since ff13 for 360 sold decently at 1.6 million and it'll probably eventually reach 2 million even though the ps3 version sold more then twice that amount.But I guess I can see it staying exclusive, so time will tell. More iumportantly, does versus 13 even have a release date yet or atleast an estimated one?

I think you just created a scenario in hopes FF13V stays exclusive. Perhaps it will be a PS3 exclusive. But it won't be because of how FF13 does in Japan on the 360.

More importantly, FF13 has done 1.5 million on the 360. 2 million should happen eventually. That's what will motivate a port. Not Japan's performance.


i am not saying just japan's performance is contributing to it

 

but what Japan's performce will add to the total sales and if those sales could be attainable on a single platform

i think vgchartz now shows how well a game does in the first 10 weeks, and then compares that to the total that game has done in its lifetime. if you look at FF13 on the 360 it dosent seem like it can reach 2mil imo, its an RPG as well not an action game so i think that to be expected. and i dont think the japanese 360 version will be successful.



       I can't believe there are still people who think FFXIII would have sold better had it remained exclusive. It should reach about 5mil on the ps3 and 2mil on the 360. If you honestly believe it would have sold over 7mil had it stayed exclusive, well then keep believing...
       And to people complaining about the quality of the game because it went multi platform. The game would have been the same had it stayed exclusive. The graphics might have been more polished but SE wouldn't have magically known to fix the non technical faults that made the game the mediocre experience it was just because it wasn't on the 360.

      Unless sony pays them a lot of money, or microsoft ticks them off FF13V will be multiplatform to your discomfort. Hopefully this time SE will make a good game.

That's also annoying.

But it's obvious porting the game (That has been optimized for PS3) will take time. A lot of time probably. Thus increasing dev time, and increasing the time between now and release.

but it's an action RPG :P

I don't think it can pass 2 million either... if it follows the same sales pattern of FFXII it will end up with 6.5 million combined and its at 5.9 million so 500k/600k of estimation would have to be xbox 360.and thats not going to happen.. (though there are many different circumstances so maybe FFXIII won't follow the sales pattern of FFXII if that occurs everything I said is false)

I did these calculations just basing on % of sales first week, first month etc... I don't feel like doing them again if you don't believe me that's okay. But I did it in a thread with solid snake.



FF Versus 13 isn't going to go multiplat.

I see too many parallels between MGS4 multiplat rumor's and Versus XIII ones......EVEN A EXECUTIVE of Konami said in TGS 2007 or before that that they were considering a Xbox 360 version of MGS4.....nothing ever came out of that.

Not only this FFXIII on PS3 will end up selling 5 Million overall....thats just 600K below FFXII, FFIX, X-2 which were all on a much bigger platform with marketing for that platform unlike the multiplat release and zero marketing FF13 (PS3) got in the west. 

PS3 is strong enough to support a Final Fantasy game on its own shoulders and if you actually read news about Versus XIII since the past many years you would know it is difficult to port the game.

A better question would be -- Will FF Agito XIII go multiplat to the 3DS at the January Conference?

That would be a more relevant and a better question because I wouldn't want to release what is most likely going to be the most expensive portable game of all time on the PSP exclusively......in 2011 when the 3DS will be blowing up the charts and PSP 2 will have been revealed.



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

I do not think FF13 will reach 7m even now,leave it being 7m with it being exclusive

there is nothing that suggest PS3 version wouldn't have sold more so you should too keep believing that it wouldn't have

you know as much as we know so you know nothing how the game would have turned out if exclsuive

I can't believe there are still people who think a game going multiplat would discomfort other people

they should just make versus for computer... :P

 

@snake
"there is nothing that suggest PS3 version wouldn't have sold more so you should too keep believing that it wouldn't have"

It works both ways, there's no evidence either way. There's more consoles available one way which means more people available for you to sell it to. And there's this idea that exlusives sell better the because of hype or some weird cosmic phenomon..



I seriously doubt that, it's been decided already
