why not? Wii has sold more than PS3 or 360 and has better controls?



My question is, why would they release it in Japan. I console has a freaking install base of 650,000. Sony probably paid them money not to release it, or they don't wanna risk bad blood with Sony for 40,000 sales.

It wouldn't make any sense to change their minds and release it in Japan now. If they were going to do it they would have just announced it from the start.

There is a lot more to lose at this point making it multi-platform on an install base that basically doesn't even exist. People in Japan will buy PS3's to play FFXIII. End of story.

Hate to nitpick, but there are at least 200k JRPG fans owning Xbox 360's in Japan (as of a year ago when BD pretty much stopped selling).  By now, that could be 300k.  In fact in Japan, the Xbox 360 has a higher proven number of JRPG players than the PS3.

If the ultimate JRPG released day and date on the Xbox 360 (also the cheaper system) I think it is safe to say that it would sell 200-300k lifetime in Japan.  Certainly not nearly what it would sell on the PS3, but as a stock owner in SE and being heavily reliant on the company's future titles, Sony isn't really going to have an power to hurt them.

Why would anyone believe Sony has a deal with Square do you really think Sony would only pay for Japanese exclusivity? That is absolutely stupid! Square knows the 360 sales will pale in comparison to the ps3.

The problem is, we can't trust anything they say anymore now that FFXIII isn't PS3 exclusive.

Am with this guy!

 

 

am with these two

Count me in on this party.  After having lied for so long initially about FF XIII exclusivity I can't believe so many people are naive enough to think SE couldn't do it again.

Final Fantasy XIII is a massively important exclusive.

Final Fantasy XIII will be exclusive to PS3 I swear.

Final Fantasy XIII is not exclusive but that isn't important.

Final Fantasy XIII will be exclusive to PS3 in Japan I swear.

Importance re-established.

 

 

 

 

 

 

What's next Sony fans?

Starcraft will translate his version of FFXIII for Japanese 360 owners
