What kinda answer is that "because its Microsoft" so what Nintendo could buy FFXIII exclusive for the Wii but they dont because they dont want to. Sony could have bought Bungie studios back in 2000 when they where independent but they didnt. Any of the BigThree could buy exclusives or studios but they dont go pissing their money away because they need to reach this financial goal called PROFIT!

 Well you can still get a profit buying exclusives. You could pay for marketing, or part of development, and get a larger profit cut of the game in exchange for that. The developer wouldn't mind, since they wouldn't have to risk their own money in those areas, and with decent sales, the console company makes their own investment back.



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

Plus, just for the hell of it: Kelly Brook at the 2008 BAFTAs

Putting it on the 360 wouldn't be profitable? They'd get money from the US where they (SE) want to expand their market so IDK why they wouldn't do that now since they're having doubts about the PS3. If they don't find profit on the 360--Fine. They're through then with the 360. I don't know why they wouldn't at least give it a shot. FF: TLR is most likely a test to see how their multiplatform games do. If that fails--no multiplatform, I guess. MS might be giving SE money now or at least thinking about it or at least trying to. They just need SE to accept. P.S. I stand by my prediction Sony/MS won't touch KH3 and it'll be on the Wii.

Agreed and thanks for the backup.

360 will not matter after the holiday to sony or nintendo. PERIOD

@ justincool

Are you saying the 360 will drop like rocks or saying Nintendo and Sony will not have a chance?

On a pie chart for what your saying

A) I think your 99% saying 360 will drop
B) I think 1% saying Nintendo and Sony will not have a chance

Predictable from someone that has 13 posts and is either a Wii or PS3 user.

No problem. Just back up KH3 on Wii

 I will:

Come on with the stats

12 million worldwide Wii versus 5 million WW PS3: You should already know Wii owners are getting KH3

I think threads like this are meant to start stupid fanboy wars.

I visit 4 forums and this is the only one where FFXIII and MGS4 to the 360 is discussed everyday and amazingly, this is the only forum where anyone actually expects it to happen, especially with FFXIII.

Given the majority of users here, go figure.

MGS4 is a major possiblity, ff 13, not so much, unless LO sells 250k consoles this holiday season in Japan, and reaches around a mil, or all the ps3 explode all over the world, or if a spy infilitrates SE and somehow makes it 360 only.....

if those happen, your right on W29!

Lost tears of Kain on 07 October 2007

It would go to America, the Last star ocean barely sold more in Japan then in America, which means either way could work
