as i said, its not a big deal until you make it one. Instigating is one way of doing it and so is bullying. fair enough, I will give an example to make it more understandable.

Imagine a playground full of kids. One kid happens to have bad eyesight and has to wear glasses. It's no big deal until other kids start mocking him for it. That's when it becomes a big deal.

Sony did know about it, it's company ethics after all. Sony being a shareholder as well having been promised exclusivity must be warned or told before hand if SE decide to go multi platform. It's just commonsense. I won't even bother arguing this point.

It's not about downplaying anything at all. It's a big deal if you are a MS fanboy or a Sony fanboy. These are the only people who who seem to care since they clearly have nothing better to do but to mock each other and gloat about these things. 

People speak as if FF will take MS to a whole new level of success to rival the Wii or create stupendous rise in sales to put the PS3 into a grave for all eternity. It's not as if Sony is losing out much. All they have to do now is share the title in english speaking countries and take a little slack from MS and Wii fanboys who are laughing at Sony for losing FF.

A lot of people also claim that a lot of Wii owners are actually PS3 owners. No one has ever bothered considering another fact which is a lot of Wii owners being housewives, single women and people who actually bought it since they were not into gaming but now have been offered something that is for easy to get into and actually an excuse not to go to the gym but to sit at home and wave a controller around. A huge chunk of Wii sales comes from this new audience that has been introduced to a new style of enjoying video games. 

However, going back to the FF with MS and SONY. It is hard to say what will happen with the release of this game until we see how and when with what packages, bundles and platform extra's it is released. As I mentioned earlier on another post if not this one, this may come back to bite MS in the backside if the 360 is made to look weak as so far the game has been designed with the PS3 in mind. If the claims made by several Sony fanboys is true that the cell can do better and FF was one of these games that was going to show it off (considering the PS3 itself can handle it), the 360 comparison may look weak and give SONY the last laugh. SONY are not as stupid as they look. Even the SE dude who was later interviewed laughed a few things off when asked about how many disks the game will be released on and what the platform differences will be. 

Today this is big news for the fanboys but tomorrow may hold a whole different story. Let the fanboys have their laugh and lets hope they are not made to cry later on.

Banjo and Kazooie says hi.

If anything this has taught people, stop saying it will never going to happen. You don't know what the next day will bring...
