Why the fuck does this matter?

Can you still play the game? YES!

Does it affect you that others will? NO!

Does Square's "disloyalty" affect ANYTHING besides more people playing the game? ONLY IF YOU MAKE IT SO.

Stop complaining.

 

It seems a lot of you are missing the point.

Since PS3 was announced, FFXIII has been the game that PS3 owners and fans have pointed to as the reason to own a PS3.

Now that reason is gone. Pretending that the PS3 lost no ground is covering the truth.

You cannot deny that this is devistating to PS3 owners. To do so is infact, not a real reaction, it's a stage.

This isn't about "Oh I can play the game anyway." You people need to learn to seperate the console wars from gaming. They are two different things. Gamers won, Sony console war people were destroyed with an atom bomb.

How much do you want for your PS3 since you seem to hate it so much. You gonna get FF 13 on 360? No you're not. Unless that's the only HD console you own.

Wow. Thanks for spitting wisdom. QFT.

 



Everyone should own all 3 consoles, that way you arent dissapointed by exclusives moving to other consoles as you have them all.

Upshot of the delayed release is that, by the time XIII drops in NA and Others, there will probably be some PS3 games that outdo it graphically (perhaps some 360 games, too).  Which is something I would not have bet on, if FFXIII was not pushed back due to waiting on the 360 port.



i own a ps3 and i really dont give a Sh--, y get upset for, sure sony are gunna lose sales now, but y does it make you less unhappy if you already own a ps3???? im sure not everyone bought a ps3 for ffXIII... get over it



Respect for compans: SONY > NINTENDO >>>>>>>>>> MICROSOFT

I have always argued, fought and defended this company. I owned : PSP, PS2, SONY WALKMAN. SONY CLIE, SE PHONE. I even bought the 60 gig PS3 at a high price because i always love this Company.

But today, I feel played. The only Game they couldnt lose, i mean i dont care if GTA, METAL GEAR went to MS as well, but to allow MS to gain access to the game i believe will represent this Gen inexcusable. I will not forgive them, i dont even care about their press conference because unless MARIO OR halo is announced Tommorrow, i could care less.

I might be overreacting, but that's how i feel right now. i feel so sick in the inside and Congrats to MS on making very nice decision.

 

What decision? Square Enix did it because of development costs didn't they? Or did I miss something... It wasn't Sony's wrongdoing or 360's strategy from what i understand...

 

development cost? Sony should pay it. Whatever it takes. That how you win. What's the point of getting tHE ps3 NOW?

 

i know what you are saying still, true i like my ps3 i dont hate it, i love it. its that i would not have payed how much money for one if i knew this game was coming to a console that is like over 100 pounds cheaper. most games on the ps3 are on the 360. i can only think of a few games that are good that i know are not on the 360 and that list shrinks even more when i think of games that may come to 360 also



Seriously. Those of you down on Sony are acting crazy. There's no more exclusivity for big third party games. There's too much money involved.

Let's say FFXIII only sells moderately well on 360 and moves 1.5 million copies. I'd guess it'll sell more than that, considering Mass Effect did almost 2 million and Oblivion did over 2.5 million WW and Lost Odyssey did 800k. But let's say 1.5 just to be safe. Squeenix's share of that is about $40 a copy. Maybe more if MS swung a deal. That's $60 million in gross sales, at least to SE. Sony lost $3 billion and is still losing money on every console sold. FFXIII is not worth $60 million to Sony at this point. That's huge money.

If you have a title that will move over a million for any platform, you can't not put it out if you are a 3rd party. The money's just too big. The only reason Infinite Undiscovery is 360 only is because Microsoft Game Studios had a hand in its development. (Blue Dragon too?)

That ship has sailed. Maybe a company does it for new IP because they don't know if it'll sell and they can keep development costs down - maybe port it later if it takes off . If any company is going to get console exclusives it's going to be 360 because the game architecture is so similar to PC that it's an easy port of games really developed for PC.




Can't we all just get along and play our games in peace?
