I think judgements about whether or not this is as big of a deal as some people think it is should be reserved for AFTER it comes out. If it looks and sounds noticeably worse on the 360 (it's being ported, not built from the ground up remember) and ships on 5-6 discs or more, then all it will do IMO is make the 360 look old and outdated up against a single disc, sharp as a tack PS3 version. I really question if the 360 crowd is the right crowd for this type of game as Cobretti2 suggested.

The closest game in style to FFXIII released this generation is Lost Odyssey and that sold 800k worldwide which is twice that of the next closest PS3 JRPG game inspite of the overwhelming advantage in Japan. Really now?

 

 

I could easily be wrong.  RPGs of any kind really aren't my thing except for the Zelda titles.  I haven't played any other RPGs since FF7.  I see what the 360 library primarily consists of and FF13 is very different.  Maybe that's a good thing.

The libraries are pretty much the same, just becuse the Xbox 360 versions of shooters sell better/more critically acclaimed doesn't mean there aren't aprox the same numbers on the PS3 for example.

 



Tease.

talk about over exaggerated.

In all honesty we really don't know, as the game isn't out yet to see what will happen.

It will be interesitng to see if the 360 crowd is mainly a FPS type, or if they have warmed up to other genres.

Not me. I am not a fan of JRPGs. That said, however, I am a fan of how MSFT is reaching out to, and expanding in, Japan.

I am a big MS supporter, but securing a FF13 release, was not actually something tha big to celebrate.

Good! My console and account are both japanese.
