This is just a smoke screen. Of course it is going to be "down graded somewhat". It will be very interesting when we have the exclusive FF13 verses to compare it too. Time will tell.

By the time Versus releases, defensive fanboys will claim "NO! NO! It's been in development for a whole year more! Of course it looks better! 360 didn't limit XIII!"

Also interesting will be what direction SE takes with the PS3 after it thrashes the 360 in WW sales for 13. The comming Tales game on PS3 is just a small taste of Japan's strength in RPG's compared to the 360's sales.

Everyone is well aware the PS3 version of FFXIII is going to "thrash" the 360 sales. With that token MW2 on the 360 will "thrash" the PS3 version. Both consoles have their strengths. Releasing on both increases a little something called profits. Have you heard of profits? It's something Sony used to generate.

Sony used to generate, Nintendo always generates and Microsoft could generate but decide instead to bring everyone else down before that XD XD XD

they already downgraded when they not making the game turn based or w/e that battle system was back when they made 12. its only gonna get worse from here... I don't think its going to make that much of a difference besides the absence of some CG....

13 will be turn based.

for someone who doesn't know what he is talking about you sound like.... someone who doesn't know what he is talking about.



I don't get the fans, do they want the game to sell well or do they want the best looking JRPG ever that fails as bad as the FF movie? It's an expensive game to make, the PS3 doesn't have nearly as much units on the market as the PS2 so it's incredibly risky especially if the game isn't appreciated as much as they hoped it would be. Two versions is much better then one, and on top of that the PS3 has sold less then the PS2 because many PS2 owners are currently on 360. They are just as much fan of the series as the PS3 counterparts. I though PS-fanmonkeys would be smart enough to shut up since the PS2 dumbed down an entire generation of games aswell.

Geez guys, don't blame Square Enix for the PS3 being a failure. It's not their fault they can't rely on Sony a lone for outstanding sales.

Well...with 23 million consoles sold...I wouldn't say PS3 is a failure...BUT...with the much higher cost of developing and publishing games this generation, the makers of games have to implement a strategy that reduces financial risk, and maximizes profit returns.  This is a business, and the percentage that has been bantered about constantly is that making a multiplatform cost only 10% more...

Now…I’ve got about as much experience in programming complex software, as about as much as being an expert at COD prepares you for real combat, but I do know from a process standpoint that the 10% is most likely at best case for a developer with extensive experience in producing multiplats. I’m not sure if M$ did indeed fund SE to get proficient on the Xbox platform this gen, but they have made great strides in making games for the 360 (albeit bad games, imho) and LP and now LP2 are going to be must haves.  SE also just got Eidos thru acquisition, so they are a company really seeking to diversify their portfolio, and that means games for PCs.  Given how easy it is to port a PC game to the 360, it’s only nature that from a cost perspective, it’s a no-brainer for SE not to launch exclusives.  Even FF14…the game is coming to the PC, and PS3…HUH…of course it’s likely going to be timed, and it’s also a business issue with M$ probably playing hardball on those monthly subs, that’s also causing the hang-ups for Champions as well.

Well the way SO4 and TLR sold they can't rely on the 360 ether.
