Yeah although I doubt it will be multiplat(nor do I care tbh) but announcing that probably one of the pretty anticipated titles by the FF fans is going multiplat in front of an audience that likely has a ratio of 49:1 when it comes to PS3:Xbox is NOT a good idea.

Stealthily calling me a fanboy isn't the best way to argue your case.  

The Cube had strengths that the PS2 didn't have, the same with the PS2 over the Cube.  For every game the Cube had that pushed intricate textures and shading like Resident Evil 4 and Metroid Prime 2 (one of the Cube's strength over the PS2), you had games like Jak3 and Shadow of the Colossus that pushed field of view (one of the PS2's strength) like nothing on the Cube.  

For every Metroid Prime, Zelda Twilight Princess F-Zero GX, Resident Evil 4, you had a Metal Gear Solid 3, Final Fantasy XII, Gran Turismo 4 and Jak 3.

In the end, what counts to my eyes is the end result.  When taken as what they are, both systems had games that looked incredibly good, both technically and artistically speaking, for varied and different reasons.  And both of them had titles that rose above the rest, making people think that the other systems couldn't handle such feats.  

Yes it would.  Would pretty much prove that FF 13 would have sold the same, if not more, if it had remained in it's original form and an exclusive.

I think there would be swords thrown around in Japan, even if they waited til E3 to reveal it was multi-plat.  Didn't stop all the backlash from FF13 just because it was announced in the US.  If it is revealed at E3 to still be a PS3 exclusive, hopefully this will stop all the "oh it's definitely going multi-plat" comments.  Just gets annoying, especially after MGS4 a couple years back.

And really, it's not so much people not wanting it to be multi-plat, it's them not being upfront about it.  No one was in an uproar when FF13-2 was announced multi-plat at the get go.  But, it's being strung along thinking that the game is releasing on one platform and being optimized for that system, only to have it delayed so they can work on a quick port to get both versions of the game out at the same time.  Wada did this before and it didn't really help the image of the company or sales of the game, and I just don't see him willing to risk anymore backlash by doin the same thing.  And this time would be even worse, since FFV13 has been in development for even longer, with them saying it's PS3 exclusive the whole time.

yeah but wasnt that the case with FF XIII 2/3 years ago?

Was it announced at a similar conference to this?

I thought that FF13 was announced for the 360 at E3, 2008 or 2009. it dosent matter tbh, the sales of FF13 on th 360 in Japan dont justify a release for Versus there. i think it will be going multiplat for the west, because the western sales for FF13 on the 360 are comparable to the PS3 sales.

Yeah true, even if FFXII released alongside the PS3 version, I can't see it making more than 200k at maximum, those sales can be neglected if it means extra sales for PS3 as a result of exclusivity in Japan.

And how can you tell the game wasn't meant to be like this from the start? Honestly now, this happens a lot with many games and movies.

Seriously, stop trying to put off your speculation as fact. Until you have proof, your argument holds no water.

Then any 3rd party might as well fire people in their team who develop exclusively for a platform.

And with billion times better CPU
