You know they are developing FFXIII with PC tools. I would not be surprised if the game runs better on the 360.

Sad but true... It's all about the money.

They do not prefer either company in my opinion. The only difference is that they have only recently begun to really develop for Microsoft's consoles so everybody is blowing it a little bit out of proportion. The last game I remember really putting hours into on PSP was Crisis Core. It's not as if they wont be making FFXIII and VXIII for Playstation 3 anymore. I would hope that they will send SO4 over as well since they have two Star Ocean games coming out for PSP. A couple of exclusives simply means that they were funded for specific projects by Microsoft as to where Sony is still sitting back and refusing to spend the money.

 

THEY DON'T HAVE MONEY

u can't blame sony :)

Not necessarily. They still have some left. They'll just rather spend it on KZ2 because they can't outbid M$

 

Sony is a bigger company which is worth billions more than Microsoft...they have money... how much money they use to fund the PS3 is a completely different story.

 

Sony is overall worth more, but has less cash than MS, that's their problem when they need to pay cash to, well, bribe.

Anyhow, the sum they needed to pay to get exclusive isn't certainly such that they couldn't afford it, if they didn't pay, they almost certainly chose to. As FF XIII main market is still exclusive to Sony, perhaps they weren't wrong, more, if something goes wrong with the XB360 conversion, Sony could be very right not preventing SE from doing it.

They aren't really worth more. Their market cap is severly lower then Microsofts and Nintendos. It might have more stuff... but it's worth less as it could theoretically be bought for less money then microsoft... or even Nintendo who is a much smaller company... but in reality worth more.  Things are only worth what people will pay for them.

As i thought... part of FF13 deal was getting back the IU name. (Or at least that's what it looks like to me.)

SE has sold out to Microsoft. To me SE has sold its soul to the devil. I do not plan on buying any JRPG's made by SE. I can not stand the genre. JRPG's are too difficult and times consuming.

Nothing like SSMS in full view. If I had your attitude I wouldn't have bought in Square titles after they "sold out" to Sony. Square Enix shouldn't have to go bankrupt to please fanboys.
