I'd argue that an exclusive has a much higher chance of being better than a multiplatform game because the developers can focus on only one platform.

yet L4D not releasing on PS3 is one of the biggest complaints I hear, even when we see how "not as good" the PS3 port of The Orange Box was

It's not as popular a genre as the shooters and never will be. A majority of the 360's exclusive JRPGs are new IPs.

Also, a majority of the e Speaking of the PS3, somebody enlighten me as to how many JRPGs have broken 1 million on it? The way this guy's talking, you'd think it's 20.

This is no different than the people crying about Square backstabbing Sony, when they did it to Nintendo when switching to the PS1.

completeley agree with every word you said.

 

not releasing a 360 version in Japan was smart, it wouldn't of sold more than 1/100th of PS3's sales, though a Wii version would of been even morer smarter considering it's much larger userbase in Japan.

and releasing a 360 version in America was the smartest thing they could of done, why are PS3 fanboys complaining, Square is spending truckloads of money on the game and if they release FF13 for 360 in America, it would without a doubt outsell the PS3 version there- that is a lot more profit they are making, or at least a lot more money they are getting back after losing trillions on development.

 

and about PS3 fanboys claiming 360 has no JRPG fanbase, then let me tell you two of the highest PS3 selling games- Call of Duty 4 (FPS), GTA4 (no idea what the overal genre is but definitely not a JRPG) and when MF2 releases, another FPS, that will be PS3's highest selling game, (at least until GT5 comes)

 

once again, more people get to play a AAA game :D, let's be happy and just wait for the game to come.

2 things wrong in this: 1. Well lets start by saying FF13 PS3 WILL outsell 360 version in All territories

 

2. u do kno that other than the ES port PS3 does not have a JRPG available right??? and also nobody said that all JRPG's will be top sellers on PS3, but would they have sold better on PS3...hea yea and Tales of Vesperia and SO4 port will prove that

In Japan, for sure- and by miles too, but in America- not really, and that is enough jurisdiction for developers to at least make a 360 version


No...dude there is a huge JRPG fanbase in west, its what PS3er are craving right now..goto any site and ask the SONY camp " if you could have more of 1 genre what would it be".....I gaurentee u they will say JRPG's...PS brand goes hand n hand with the genre considering PS basically took JRPG's out of its ninche and breed a breed them for a larger audience.

The graphics wont determine how good this game is. Final Fantasy IX looked like ass and it's my favorite game from the PS family of final fantasy's. The game looks great, stop hating. Buy it on the PS3 and support Sony, that's all you can do.

I think his point was that Exclusives are better than  multiplats in quality. Someone seems to always get short changed when it comes to multiplats. in the OB's case, it was the PS3.

of course i know that JRPGS go hand in hand with the PS brand, and yes I too am craving for a JRPG for my PS3.

but this gen i think FPS's have become more popular (in America), don't you agree?

Wow, what an angry post. This is what makes me laugh on vgchartz. I'm just glad I'm getting all the games I pretty much want for one HD console. Lol.



Everyone needs to play Lost Odyssey! Any opposition to this and I will have to just say, "If it's a fight you want, you got it!"

While thinking like that is all well and good...

what if the PS3 got the Halo and Gears franchises, (I know Halo is Microsoft 1st party) more people would be able to play those AAA games too, wouldn't they???

Yes, but this stealing of exclusive franchises game that Microsoft is playing is making the PS3 and 360 indistinguishable from one another. Having specific titles for specific platforms is what makes video games fun. It adds a dynamic competitve edge to which system has the most exclusives.

Final Fantasy is a Playstation game. No one should want it to be multiplatform. In a perfect world no console should ever share a game with another. Every game would be exclusive. Imagine how sweet that would be. Imagine the competition among Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo. Imagine the competition among the fans, among the developers!

It would drive the industry forward like never before. While this is basically impossible and never going to happen, Sony is in the business of constantly CREATING new franchises and games. Microsoft seems to be in the business of................ buying Sony's games.

fanboy anger is not inborn, it is created.



̶3̶R̶D̶   2ND! Place has never been so sweet.

This, ladies and gentlemen, is an ignorant article, filled with lies and spin, meant to degrade FFXIII, Square-Enix, and Microsoft, as revenge for XIII going multiplat, and it doesn't get anymore obvious than that.

Its entire thesis, all dolled up as it may be, is based off of an apparent leap in logic, between 2 statements made by SE, a year apart. The assumptions and implications derived from said hole, are presumptuous at best, and preposterous more often than not.

I am dumbfounded having read that.

Pretty much this.

I would think the butthurt was over by now, but I've long since learned that I've been underestimating the power of pathetic, indignant fanboys.

My point with you is JRPG's will sell better on PS3 in ALL territories period...FPS becomming more popular the JRPG's on the PS brand cant be defined at the moment...PS3 still hasnt had any noteworthy realease aside from year old ports..alot of the shooters on PS3 never do shooter numbers like 360 and never will( aside from huge known shooters like MW or COD where it manages to atleast keep up) there just isnt a huge shooter fanbase on PS3 though its growing, but let me tell u release any big JRPG on PS3 and it will make the top of the charts
