Forums - Sony - Square Enix's Rational for Shunning the PS3?

At this point, I hope they keep it up, even if I miss out on rpg's. I would much rather see SE go under and the few talented developers they have left go somewhere else that deserves them more.

I look forward to the MS funded FF13 ads when the game is finally released in 2015

Microsoft paid Rockstar for the 2 episodes, but from the information I have been reading on the internet, Microsoft is not paying SE.

The situation that is going on is this there has always been more 360s out there than ps3s in the western world so SE cannot deny making games for the 360, they see all those 360 sales so they cannot ignore the 360 and just go ps3 exclusive like in the past when ps2 had way more systems out there than the competition.

So SE has decided to go multiplatform, Microsoft has published Infinite Undiscovery, that's the only game from SE that microsoft have put money into, as for The Last Remnant that game came out on 360 first simply because development for the 360 was easier and SE had xbox dev kits long before they had ps3 dev kits, the same thing has happened with NAMCO, Ace Combat 6, Eternal Sonata, Tales of Vesperia, all came out before the ps3 versions, so it's not just SE that doing it, likewise Star Ocean 4 from SE, these games take time and you will be seeing no less than a 6 month gap to a year or longer before you see these games hit the ps3.

So it looks like SE is just putting all their games on 360 and ignoring the ps3 for whatever reason, but it's not that, its just that SE werent going to delay their games on 360 until the ps3 versions were finished, almost all the RPGs on 360 will eventually end up on the ps3.

Yes the next gen started with xbox 360 not ps3, SE didnt want to wait, neither did namco or capcom or any other developer for that matter, people have to pay their bills, and you cannot wait when you see an opportunity to make money now.

then the english ff13 its getting delayed til the 360 port it's done. so clearly isn't that those games up there are all JRPG that would get more benefit being multiplatfrom expecially in japan.

the only one that would hurt for such delay would be 360 since no one would buy in japan the 360 versions when ps3 version exist.

and microsoft it's putting money on SE, they are handling the advertisement, and likely some other things back age. there is not reason for timed exclusivity for those games. none at all.

especially since they are delaying the FF13 NA release. and FF13 demo not comming overseas!.

 

 

 

No, it isnt getting delayed the ps3 version of ff 13 is near completion, but the english version for the ps3 is not done yet, it seems to me that, SE while developing the english version of ff 13 for the ps3, will at the same time be developing the 360 version.

..........and I already explained 360 arent getting timed exclusives, its just that the 360 versions of the games are much further in developmenat than the ps3 version and SE is just releasing the 360 versions as soon as the are finished, instead of waiting on the ps3 version to be finished as well to release the game, and like I said before it's not just SE, NAMCO has done this as well, Ace Combat 6, Eternal Sonata and Tales of Vesperia all those games came to 360 first and then the ps3 versions later.

Be careful what you wish for, if this happens microsoft may buy them.

I don't think microsoft will fund the ads, all SE have to do is make one commercial with the ps3 and 360 logos at the bottom of the screen like we have seen done before.

Then again we might just see a ff 13 commercial with the xbox startup at the end LOL, that would be classic.

And the game should be coming to 360 April 2010, so this time next year, man that is going to be classic final fantasy on 2 platforms for the first time.

Fine by me, not as if it would change things from the way they are now. It's not like Sony needs them. I don't think they would have much success under Microsoft either.

I think after FF13 n Versus released, don't expect SE's title on PS3 anymore, the "multiplatform" thing is just their soft way to run away from PS3 and Sony, well maybe on PSP one or two titles. But most of their future titles will be exclusive for X360 and Wii. PS3 is out of the picture for em.

square is trying desperately to gain a jrpg audience with America. yet they dont realized that most of the jrpg fans have ps3s aswell/only.

stilll square cant be that big of a company now a days. they havent had a single game sell over 1 million this gen... they will go bankrupt if final fantasy isnt as big as they hope it is lol

 

I hope not!
