that is my question

why are expectation from one side to hype it when the xbox 360 fans have also shown they can hype games to the heavens, case in point Halo 3 back in 07 & now Forza 3

First thing about Tekken 6 is it's already out in arcades in 2007, and the graphics are good, but nothing to write home about. Graphics are really the only thing that could propel a game like this into being hyped. We already have this SCIV, VF5, SF4, so the multi-platform status of the game really shot it down into mediocrity. You have to admit that most fans of this game are Playstation owners, and were not one bit happy about the game going to xbox360, and are basically saying f u Namco. They might still pick up the game, but are certainly not going to hype it. The game screams 'more of the same' 3d fighter, with graphics that aren't blowing anyone away.

I don't care about Tekken games anymore. I got bored of them.

I do seem to remember Tekken 5 being pretty hyped... a whole bunch of "It's better then virtual fighgter/other multi fighter" etc.  No wait 5 was PS2.  Maybe ut was when virtua fighter came out?  Some 360 fighter anyway.

But that was back when the PS3's lineup had like... absolutely nothing to brag about i believe.  So it could be that or it could be that it was just one of a few exclusives fanboys could tie their hat to.

                                       Why? Because it's our job

i would've hyped it but am bezy with AC 2 hype wagon, now am off to feed the horse

It's not a PS3 exclusive.

Sorry Akiba fan, I didn't read your post when I typed mine x_x

1- It's not a PS3 exclusive.
2- The fighting genre isn't that popular anymore. When was the last time we had an Amazing fighting game? How many fantastic fighting games we had this decade?

BlazBlue, Soulcalibur 4, Street Fighter 4, Dead or Alive 4, Virtua Fighter 5...a fair number of awesomeness. Certainly not as much as the past gens though, of course.

But haven't JRPGs lost popularity.  I think the reason FFXIII remains of hyped is becuase the footage and graphics are among the best this gen technically and artisically.  There are a bunch of loud mouths complaining of the game coming to the 360 but they are just a very small yet vocal group.  Not to mention that the series has managed to remain as popular as it is despite the fanbase being divided by FFXII.  This just shows how much Final Fantasy means to the general public.
