DISCUSSSSS

I think Final Fantasy XIII going to the 360 was a pretty big shocker. It rocked the gaming world.

Lack of FF13 360 in the top 5 = phail.

Shall read the article now.

It was big news, but it isn't that big. It was only a really big thing due to fanboys. I LOVE Final Fantasy, but even to me I was buying this game on whatever system it came out for.

In real life, 360 getting GTA 4 at the same time as PS3 had a much bigger impact then 360 getting FF13 (but not in Japan).

The legend of zelda:TP At E3 2004 was pretty shocking also,unexpected i might add also.

How was the announcement of the gamecube shocking?

i wouldn't really consider number 5 vary shocking.
the final fantasy coming to the 360 was more way more shocking!

Is that meant to be in order? Cause I can't see why Regie becoming the new VP of Sales and Marketing is so shocking as to warrant a number one spot.

People I see that some people didnt like the articles top 5, so I added my top 5 too. Hope its better
