@master8btr :Ever heard of the difficulty of porting games to the PS3? Last Remnant will come to ps3 as well, why don´t you mention it?

because I think the game looks like crap and wouldnt play it for free.

They are neutral to everything except money, once money steps in then they throw everything else out the window... not the Square I once knew...



End of 2014 Hardware Predictions (03/03/14)

PlayStation 4: 12-15million

Xbox One: 7-10 million

Wii U: 8-9 million (Changed 01/04/2014 from 7-9 --> 8-9 million)

Square builds most of it's games on a PC first and then ports it to the console it is on whether its X360, Wii or PS3 and being that the X360 and PS3 architecture is close to a PC it is easy for them.

We will see how neutral they are with how they treat the two versions of FF13....if one gets something the other doesnt, they cant say they are neutral



I hope my 360 doesn't RRoD

lol then why does the 360 still have star ocean and infite discovery?

 

I believe they are Timed Exclusives for the X360. MS pays for timed console exclusivity and for PS3 titles to come to the X360.

 

Only God knows...

I think its crappy too but it has nothing to do with Square´s "neutrality". They only care about reaching the majority of their potential customers, not favorizing a certain console over another when saleswise they are in competition.

of course MS paid.But according to their statement i see no reason to why those game shouldnt launch at the same day for ps3, just like ff13. I think its pathetic that square speaks of being neutral when they clearly are not.

+1 for this!

Not sure about Star Ocean, but for probably the billionth time, Microsoft owns IP rights to Infinite Undiscovery. Square only stepped in as the publisher later on.
