Forums - Sony Discussion - Final Fantasy XIII and Versus XIII confirmed PS3 exclusive by S-E

Sorrow880 on 27 September 2007

 

 "Why can't they tell us when it's coming out? >_< Exclusive or not, I just want to know when to expect them."

Because everyone always cries about the delays when they give release dates prematurely...just be thankful they don't know and they're being honest.



Well, I now only have access to a PS3 & 360...Plan on buying a wii soon (lol, if I can ever find one available!) but will probably wait until some of the major RPG's come out like Dragon Quest & Tales, etc.

Anyhow, I'm so far behind in games to play that I'm not in a huge hurry (lol, haven't even gotten a chance to finish God of War II yet!)

Saying they don't know isn't really a good thing either. Either they messed up really bad with their schedule planning, or they are met with bumps along the way while developing the game in which there are too many uncertainties to even say anything about it. Argh...I want FF Versus 13!!!



Currently loving my Wii x2, Xbox 360 Pro & Xbox 360 Arcade, and Final Fantasy 7 Advent Children Limited "Cloud Black" 160GB PS3

GAMEFLY & GOOZEX FTW

Darkdays: What about the recent attach rates? Don't assume this will be a blockbuster, aim for the more practical number; what was Final Fantasy XII's attach rate?

EDIT: Checked the numbers myself.  FF12 has sold about 5 million units on a 120 million unit console.  That's a 4% attach rate.  Assuming the PS3 has 12 million units out by then, FFXIII should realistically be looking at about 500k units sold.  That is a pretty pitiful number for a Final Fantasy title.

Apostrovich: Again, the 360 has a larger install base, and Halo was pretty much the game that put the original Xbox on the map.

Engelos: This isn't fanboy idiocy, this is just looking at it from a logical standpoint. I love the Final Fantasy series and have been playing it since the first game came out. I'm just worried that Square-Enix may run into problems as far as how this game will sell if interest in the PS3 just isn't there.

That pretty much describes the lack of logic in that post. 360 fans and there lack of understanding about attach rates is astounding.

Like the 40% attach rate for R:FOM. Anways I think 08 in japan and 09 in America.

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."

lennon and Engelos: I'm looking at the hard numbers here. I didn't mean to imply "Square-Enix should only hope for 500k units", but rather "by the current attach rates of the Final Fantasy series, sales of about 500k units would be about proportional to FFXII sales".

Also, for the record, I don't consider myself a fanboy (perhaps you do, that's your perogative). Whether I am or am not should be irrelevant in this discussion.

So, if you would like to continue this debate/discussion as mature individuals, by all means, let's continue. But if you're going to throw labels of "fanboy" at people, then it's not worth anyone's time to talk about it.



PS3: 5.51m/51w, avg 108,039/w (up 239)
360: 12.93m/102w, avg 126,764/w (up 625), leads PS3 by 7.42m (up 70k), avg lead 18,725/w (up 386)
