doubt it, square isnt that evil.

What do you mean by 'evil'? We're talking about the same Squaresoft that had promotional pictures in Nintendo Power showing Barret, Cloud & Co with gameplay footage, only to jump over to the PS1 exclusively.

Companies make games to get money. If Square decies that a game will be more profitable on console X, Y, or X+Y, then it's their job as a company to make the needed adjustments to do such. That's part of business.

At this point in the game, and the collapse of the PS3 as the inherant JRPG console, it would seem that XIII should indeed go over. To Otakus and JRPG lovers in Japan, it would only make sense to back the best JRPG console with the crown gem of JRPG's in their home land (nonwithstaning the fact that DQ9 is already a DS exclusive).

 

Yeah, FF VII went over to the PS1 because of money.. ever thought about the N64 being inadequate? all of you box fanboys can talk as much as you want, but that is not gonna happen, mark my words.

 

consider them marked

Gun games are a much easier sale on the ps3 these days. JRPG's are nicher in this generation of platforms.

They are always niche...

 

the fanbase outside of Japan is getting smaller and smaller. I don't understand though...JRPGS are (imo) one of the best genres there are. I wish they got better sales all around.

 

In fact it is THE best genre. Thing is that JRPG's are an acquired taste..

Never nicher than they are now.

Perhaps. I wonder what will happen to Atlus if this continues.

Sony is in part guilty by not signing an exclusive deal.

 

Sony is guilty by birthing a platform unable to sustain a game like FF13.

 

Konami didn't seem to complain.

 

 

 Initially they actually did. They complained about the cost of making MGS4. 

Do you see any cheap AAA titles? I don't.

 

Not on the PS3, no.

 

In this era, they never are.

 

Gears of War?

As long as the ps2 exists, Atlus should be fine... how are they doing on the DS/PSP by the way?

gears of war was made using unreal engine 3.

if you add the price it took to make the engine is not 10 million.
