i will buy it on launch day and will get it for both systems, because i consider the 360 the "rpg" system for this gen and i need ff13 for its library. and i want it on the ps3 to go with my ff collection on the playstation brand.

what about u guys ?

I shed a single tear when I read this post. You are gonna buy 2 copies of the same game to complete your Sony library? Christ.

Most likely yes, and PS3. That's the only current-gen home console I own and probably will stay that way.

Im predicting that PS3 FFXIII will significantly outsell its 360 counterpart

I agree. should sell at least 25% more copies on the ps3. Although in NA I predict the 360 version will sell the most.

No I'm saying PS3 will outsell it by a large margin in ALL Regions.

that won't happen. there is too big of an install base difference in NA. Look at devil may cry 4, a former sony exclusive that sold more on the ps3 in every territory except NA. The only multiplat games that have sold more on the ps3 in NA are very obscure niche games.

Final Fantasy is not obscure, and with the 360 having quite a big advantage in RPG's, I don't see how the ps3 base could buy more than the 360. I agree that worldwide it will sell more (mostly because of Japan), I just don't see it happening in NA.

You should also look how the genre of said game has done on the 360. EVERY JRPG has done horribly on the Xbox 360 except for Lost Odyssey which has yet to crack a mill and has been out since 07. Yes Final Fantasy is big but I would say that JRPGs would do better on the PS3 because the 360 hasnt been very accepting of the genre. WRPGs are another story though

do you have an example of a JRPG doing well in NA on the ps3 to prove your point?

There is one: Valkyria Chronicles. It has sold near Half a Million in PS3. And Remember this is a Srpg, even more niche than non-KH-FF JRPG.

well, a quick look at vgchartz numbers shows that valkyria chronicles has only sold .18 mil in NA. Which is not good. So no, that is not an example of a JRPG that has done well in America.

Probably not until it drops in price considerably... don't get me wrong... I want the game but I haven't bought a brand new game at full price for awhile now... Not sure if I'll pick it up for the 360 or the PS3. Either one would be fine... guess whichever drops in price first...

I game. You game. We game.

It will depend on factors such as how much money I have at the time, how many games I have left to finish, and if my brother is still around with his 360. I assume I wont end up buying it the first day, but probabaly on the 360.
