Well clearly, Mr. Million, your as blind as a bat.
I'm no fan of FF, infact, I've never bought or EVEN PLAYED an FF game, so it doesn't effect me, but it doesn't take a PhD in common sense to realise this was a major blow for Sony, coupled with the price cut. Just look around the internet. People are creating threads on it, Xbox fanboys are going wild, those who bought a PS3 solely for FF XIII are now ultra-pissed, and those who were planning to buy a PS3 to play it, will instead purchase it for the 360, or buy an Xbox 360 with it.
It doesn't tke a Phd in common sense to realise THAT WASN'T A PROPPER PRICE CUT , call it a clearance sale if you must , it was a shorterm measure to get rid of old stock , people are pissed because of their fanboyish nature , and because it happened within the last 24 hours.
Realise that
1.Final Fantasy XII is still on the PS3 , Versus is still exclusive , it will outsell the 360 version.
2.Anyone said they bought a PS3 purely for this game is either A.Stupid because the game wouldn't have been release till next year B.Wouldn't buy any other games so are still useless to Sony C. Are in an incredibly small minority D.Are lying and are just causing drama.And why the hell would they buy an XBOX 360 instead ? Why wouldn't they buy a Wii or no console at all ? or why wouldn't they still buy a PS3 and pay FF and other quality PS3 releases Killzones 2, LBP , GT5 , God Of War 3 , Resistance 2 which aren't XBOX 360 exclusives and 99% never will be on the platform.
The only reason I even have a PS3 is because of MGS4. And that's pretty much it's only lifeline until Resistance 2 and Killzone 2 and LBP and all this other crap comes out.
That is if they're even any good. All these bland shooters like Gears of War 2, Resistance 2, KillZone 2, all look incredibly bland and boring to me.
All these people making £300 purchases because of 3 or 4 games really confuse me , maybe the VGChartz community is richer than other online communities i've taken part in but it just blows my mind that people would ditch Sony support over one title.

Clearence Sale, price cut...whatever. It's going to help sell more units.
What part of "short term" measure don't you understand , it's effects will only be short term .
The reason it'll effect the PS3 sales is obvious. Those who are HOLDING OUT TO BUY THE PS3 for FF XIII might consider buying it for the 360 that they instead own, or perhaps, just buy an Xbox 360 for it instead? Who gives a shit about the wii? FF XIII is definetly going to be on the Wii, so why bring it in?
This effect won't be seen for possibly another 2 years porting & localising such a large game could delay Final Fantasy's release in europe/na until late 2010 early 2011 , by this time it's highly likely that the PS3 install base would have increase beyond the size of the 360 install base.
FFXII is on the PS2 is it not? Or have I somehow been misinformed? I don't keep up with FF news much.
I don't know much about Final Fantasy or roman numerals , I meant FF 13.
And if THAT blows your mind, how about this-
I paid £425, or $850, just to play MGS4. Nothing else. No other game on the PS3 interests me. I'm not loaded either. Nor am I a Sony supporter.
I'm honestly shocked that you'd spend almost $1000 for the purposes of playing one game I don't think any game ever created justifies that amount of money , in the current economic situation we're in i'd rather spend that money on fuel or cope better with increased living expenses.
