Even though it won't be crippled just the dvd version rather than the blu-ray version, after the PS3 version sales a million + units in Japan later this year, the only thing the 360 version will really have any affect upon is adding a little more money to Square's coffers. It won't alter any success that the PS3 might have if the game was an exclusive worldwide. Other exclusives coming to the PS3 as a result of the game's sales in Japan like NG Sigma II will offset that.

Wrong. In the west, Final Fantasy is a major franchise. Being multiplatform, the uptick it will generate in hardware sales will be split.

In Japan however, things will be different. It'll be interesting to see if Final Fantasy can resurrect the ps3. Second runners have never caught up over there, ever. 

Wasn't the Saturn is first for a while?

5 THINGS I'd like to see before i knock out:

a. a AAA 3D sonic title

b. a nintendo developed game that has a "M rating"

c. redesgined PS controller

d. SEGA back in the console business

e. M$ out of the OS business

I wonder if 360 users could install FFXIII. Would it work on a multi-disk game?It would be a pig of an install for sure, but if it's an option, it may alliviate some hassle.

Only thing that would worry me is the possible disk damage from swapping.. *Lost Odyssey* says hello

I don't think there will be a huge notable difference between the two versions.

a. because the game will not use 100% of the PS3's power and I don't even need to go into FFVII and FFX having done that.

b. even if it did they would be able to accommodate the 360 hardware.

Only 50% of PS3 power? So I think X360 can handle it. Maybe.

The Demo is not the full game, so it probably not rendering what the full game will render

Seriously, this makes no sense what so ever. That's like saying the KZ2 demo took less processing power than the same part in the final game. Maybe it did because of optimisations, but I gurantee it was not 50% more power hungry on the retail release than the demo. Actually, now that I think about it...it really makes no sense. The retail release should actually use less power if it is optimized better.

The demo should be at least a nearly finished section of the game, they are not going to release some half assed version. Ok, well, I wouldn't put anything passed Sony's stellar decision making, but come on.

Power usage has become a game industry meme. Everyone keeps saying it, everyone keeps laughing about it, and it becomes slightly more irritating every time you hear it.

FFXIII will be to the 360 what Fallout 3 was to the PS3 on a technical level

 

 I think Microsoft will have something to say about that... they do have a specialized team that helps developers not run into problems like what faced the PS3 version of Fallout 3.

 Didn't Fallout 3 patch make the PS3 version better looking?

Anyway yes Final Fantasy 13 will be very interesting. The first game built from the ground up for PS3 and then ported to 360.

One thing you know for sure is if this game is 50 GB then the 360 version will either come on at least 6 DVDs or have compressed audio and/or video. It is virtually impossible for the 360 version to be better.
