Well this is out of Tokyo. Things can change when the US release comes.

The 360 version of FFXIII accounted for about 40% of sales outside Japan. Hence, Square might change their tune when they bring Versus outside of Japan.


You have to remember though the ps3 version acouted for 60% of the sales without any advertising what so ever. The game had an xbox exclusive ad champaign.

What does it matter? Final Fantasy fans bought it for whatever console they owned regardless of the logo that showed up at the end of the commercial.

A lot of Final Fantasy fans didn't buy a PS3. A lot of them got a 360 and this is the real reason why the 360 version sold well. Not the ads.


It matter because ff13 sold a hell load more in Europe etc than most of the previous games which would sujest that meant alot of new players where buying it. if all the advertisement wads for 360 it is perfectly logical for me to asume a larger [portion of this new market was infact the xbox audience.

FF13 sold a lot more than most games in series everywhere. I don't think you're taking into consideration it was a very hyped release and the first HD Final Fantasy game. The first PS1 and PS2 releases did really well too.

There are a lot of reasons why FFXIII performed well on the 360. Exclusive advertising is not very high on my list of reasons though.

Other than having an exclusive ad champaign what other reason where there really? It was worse (very slightly far be it) than the ps3 version and a vast majority of the ff crowd was on the ps3.



Yeah i know my spelling sucks but im dysgraphic so live with it :3

Right, a majority of the FF fans were on PS3. But not all FF fans went from PS2 to PS3.

Hence, people bought it for the console they owned. I guarantee exclusive advertising doesn't have the impact you think. Especially when the game appeals to a core audience aware that the game is multiplat.

I think we should just agree to disagree ^^ we will never known how much of an impact anything had on sales so might as well stop debating about it :P

Yeah. But I'm just saying don't give so much credit to exclusive advertising.

Perhaps the 360 already had a JRPG fanbase from exclusives over the years. The 360 also stole many Playstation fans in the west. Hence, there already was FF fanbase on the 360.

If someone thinks "normal" people (not hardcore users) are going to spend $300 or more to play one game, is deluded. If you already own a 360, you buy that game for the console you already own, most people don't buy a new console to play one game.

Personal apology for the delay guys... I was banned for exposing my opinion.

But I confirm my opinion again... FFXIII was cut and lowered its quality because the 360 version... so I want and deserve FFvXIII exclusive at least until it is completed and released for PS3... after that a 360 version for me no matter.

No ban will be change my opinion.

i hardly believe at this point, with a games library like the PS3 has, people would need to get it for 1 game.

if you're stealthily impliying PS3 has no games then i'm afraid you're stuck in time.

PS2 had a DVD drive, while the GameCube used mini-disks that only held 1.5 GB of data. But only an insane person would argue that the PS2 had better graphics.

Let's not forget that the PS3 has a very limited memory architecture, and only 512 MB of Ram. If it had maybe twice the memory of the 360, people making these claims would have a point. You could have GBs worth of data, but you still have to work with the limited RAM.

And with billion times better CPU


Yeah, and the 360 has billion times better GPU and WAY more RAM. A whole 10MB.

Hence why Xbox 360 is playing catch up with PS3 since 2008


It's the other way around.


CPU and SPU > GPU. take a look at some of the ps3 exclusives coming this year.


Dude you don't have to try to convince me, I consider the PS3 a better machine. But it takes a special kind of stupid to say the CPU is a billion times better.

Talk to me when multi-plats are running/looking considerably better on PS3. Several years in and they still generally run/look better on 360. I care more about multi-plats than any exclusives since my gaming library mostly consists of multi-plat games.


Hahahah LMAO, the only multiplats that actually are superior on Xbox 360 are Bayonetta and Orange Box. The diffrence between other multiplats is so insanely small its ridicilous people actually make comprassion videos.


As small as those differences are, they exist and the majority of multi-plats run/look better on 360. Even when they look better on 360 (GTA, Red Dead, COD, Fallout, etc.) PS3 fans tell themselves that their version is better for some reason. And whenever their version is slightly better they blow it out of proportion and blame it on the 360, while the PS3 ports are blamed on lazy devs.


They look better? Slightly. Run better? HELL NO. Not one game besides OB, bayonetta and fallout run better on Xbox. And Uncharted 2 alone smacks the crap out of any multiplatform game on Xbox 360 in graphics, so it doesnt really matter. And BTW, multiplates that looked slightly better on xbox were all from 2006 and 2007, back when PS3 was still new to most developers and it was very hard to port. Things are much diffrent today. But like i said, PS3 exclusvies look better than all multi platform games out there, so it doesnt really matter
