Good. Do you know why? FFXIII: 360 has dvd limitations so japanese voice are being decided whether to be cut or not. Head honcho said that the worldwide release of FFXIII is going to the equal to each other. No japanese voice for 360, no japanese voice for PS3.

Extremely important in differentiating yourself from the competition. This is where a strong first party comes in handy. Third parties are like cows, they graze as long as the grass is green, but they are always looking for greener pastures.



Bet between Slimbeast and Arius Dion about Wii sales 2009:


If the Wii sells less than 20 million in 2009 (as defined by VGC sales between week ending 3d Jan 2009 to week ending 4th Jan 2010) Slimebeast wins and get to control Arius Dion's sig for 1 month.

If the Wii sells more than 20 million in 2009 (as defined above) Arius Dion wins and gets to control Slimebeast's sig for 1 month.

Exclusive coded to specifically target a given console are good.

Exclusive that are only exclusives due to moneyhatting, or a designer hating a console, are bad.

Non-exclusives that are competent and enjoyable across all consoles they are on is good.

Non-exclusives that don't launch at the same time are bad.

And then there is the "each console gets its own content". I think this is bad, most of the time. There is NO reason why the PS3 and 360 couldn't BOTH have Yoda and Darth Vader in the latest Soul Calib.

Under most circumstances it's good. It's just bad when a PS3 game gets turned multiplatform, and 360 gamers say "it's better if more people get to play" but as soon as a 360 game stays exclusive, and PS3 fans wonder why, the 360 fans say "quit bitching and just buy a 360 is you want the game"
