I honestly don't think it will make much of an impact in console sales for either system. Think GTA4 but even less significant.

@ Dallas seriously dude, Source has way more prediction and analysis cred than you.

Since your post added nothing of value other than blasting him for his (very logical sounding) opinion it should be viewed as a personal attack. If you're going to resort to those you should pick better targets.

rasone, my comments should not be labeled as a personal attack b/c I never said anything personal about source, but rather, focused my comments on his post.  thanks.

The most interesting part of all this is that it confirms two things:

1) Square-Enix and most Japanese developers will make rational business decisions. That favors Nintendo in Japan and multiplatform releases for 360/PS3 in the west.

2) Square Enix views Xbox 360 & PS3 as the same audience essentially. I've always seen it that way but I wasn't too convinced that developers did.

 

totaly agree there except that I would say there is a difference between a part of 360/PS 3 owners.... they probably like the same gaming experience.... but one is more looking at trends and techs (PS owner), and the other more at services and software (XB owner).. and that goes with the respective company profile anyway....

What the hell are you talking about? I've always known FF is an important franchise, but I hate it, I think the series sucks. However, it not only being on the ps3 helps the 360.



And that's the only thing I need is *this*. I don't need this or this. Just this PS4... And this gaming PC. - The PS4 and the Gaming PC and that's all I need... And this Xbox 360. - The PS4, the Gaming PC, and the Xbox 360, and that's all I need... And these PS3's. - The PS4, and these PS3's, and the Gaming PC, and the Xbox 360... And this Nintendo DS. - The PS4, this Xbox 360, and the Gaming PC, and the PS3's, and that's all *I* need. And that's *all* I need too. I don't need one other thing, not one... I need this. - The Gaming PC and PS4, and Xbox 360, and thePS3's . Well what are you looking at? What do you think I'm some kind of a jerk or something! - And this. That's all I need.

PS3 fanboys talked about FF13 "saving" the PS3.  360 fanboys downplayed FF13's importance and stated that one game doesn't make or break a console.  Now FF13 gets announced for the 360 and all of a sudden the roles are reversed.  PS3 fanboys talk about "it's only 1 game", while 360 fanboys say this dooms the PS3.  Come on people!  I don't care which side you fall on, let's just grow up, realize that it's just a hobby (albeit a great one) and get back to having fun talking about games.  I'm not on this site to argue.  I love to talk gaming.  Join me!  Let's all try to make a better effort to look at any and all gaming news objectively and with a level head.

 

 You've got it wrong, here's how it goes...

Nobody could ever have dreamed FFXIII would go to the 360. This is like Halo type game going to the PS3 - It CAN'T happen...In Halo's case it really can't happen literally. In FFXIII's case it couldn't happen because it would be unthinkable...Do you realise how much doubt this puts in the mind of any potential PS3 owner?

This won't suddenly change anything, but it will REDUCE sales for the PS3 by a good few percent at least until it is released, we're talking hundreds of thousands.

So in essence, its not that it will sell a bucket load of 360s, it won't. It will stop a bucket load of PS3s being sold OVER A PERIOD OF TIME...Which will go to the 360.

I mean what exactly does the PS3 have to offer now? There's no A list titles left Killzone 2? LBP? Thats exactly the problem...Those titles aren't mass market appealing and I hadn't even heard of Killzone until that recently...Its not a HaloGTAV...

The ONLY thing the PS3 has going for it is Gran Turismo 5...Its not out around a year!

 

(So it really is a big deal, this will alter millions of people's perception of the PS brand and the PS3 in a negative manner)

All of this has been true for the last 6 months and still the PS3 has outsold the 360 in that time period.  This will have about the same impact as GTA IV going multiplatform.  It will keep some people from buying a PS3, but not enough to make a real difference.
