i thought SE is not going to port FFXI to PS3, instead, they went ahead making FFXIV

 Q: Why did you decide to make a new game rather than continue to evolve FFXI?
12:16
 A: It all comes down to, originally, FFXI was designed for the PS2. It then moved to PC and Xbox 360. A lot of people have asked for a port to the PS3. With an MMORPG of this size, you have to develop new content. Porting to a new technology would take a lot of effort. Instead, we decided to use that time to make something new.

They aren't.......

Some people would point at Guild Wars for you... but personally, I don't think it's gonna be free



MikeB predicts that the PS3 will sell about 140 million units by the end of 2016 and triple the amount of 360s in the long run.
