How is that "spin"? It is pretty well known that each numbered installment of FF has had its own universe. I don't need to play FFVII to understand anything about the plot in FFX. Similarly, I will not need to know anything about FFXII to play the first game coming to Xbox, FFXIII.

With that being said, how is that setup at all similar to ME, which has an intricate story arc spanning multiple games with the same characters? I would venture to say these two franchises are polar opposites in thsi sense. The only similarities is that they both have multiple iterations either released or in the works.

And whoever is nit picking the Star Wars analogy - take The Lord of the Rings instead. The point is still the same as described above. There should be no comparison here, and frankly it sounds like a few PS3 boys are jealous on multiple counts of not confirming a PS3 version of ME2 and giving up FF exclusivity.

 LoL,a Pc gamer...you know the Pc version will be out in 2010 while the 360 version will be out before Xmass 2009?

Hope you do,because at E3 2009 in June they will proudly say it`s exclusive to the 360 so their holiday lineup should be great.

But what happens if your Pc  can`t handle the game? a 199$ upgrade for your Pc? video/cpu/mobo? a better deal is a Jasper 360,but you haven`t heared it from me. A Vista upgrade for Alan Wake? priceless

looks like microsoft had a deal with bioware hence mass2 will be on 360.

but i think mass 2 will be announced for ps3 im almost sure of it. it all depends if a deal was in place with bioware since mass1

Yeah. Can't wait to kill more reapers!

I was reffering to his explanation of his previous comment.

"FF any number has no relation to any other FF game."

EA just made a $400 million loss last quarter, and they're making exclusives?

360 exclusives sell unlike some other consoles.

Doesn't your first sentence contradict the rest of your post?

it kills me that people think these gaming companies are their friends or some shit...they are in the business of making money that's it.. money wise if they can make more with a ps3 version they will make it.. unless they can corner MS into doing an exclusive or timed exclusive deal.. simple as that.. mass effect never being on ps3 doesn't matter

More like they're in the business of losing money, amirite?

Ouch at EA losing half a billion...
