Are you talking about my OP? I believe my reasons are valid, there's only two reasons why my prediction wont happen:

 

1) Not enough time to market / they're lying about localization progress

2) SE decides MS money is more than they'd make with FFXIII holiday sales.

not a chance of a worldwide exclusive on the ps3 and the 360 version a few months later, cause square-enix would get sued or something by m$. i think news of some dlc exclusive for both platforms and a sooner launch date outside japan could be more believable i think.

You know contracts can simply be bought out right? Voiding a part of a contract is no big deal if SE forfeits a part of what MS paid them. It's not like I'm predicting SE would cancel the 360 version altogether.

Yessir, I was. Your case is built on the follwing data:

Announcement Friday on Sony's side.

Not a peep from Microsoft.

The Japanese version is releasing in December.

Holiday sales=good.

 

As near as I can tell, this is the whole of it. You've taken these scattered I-Beams and declared that clearly they must intend to build a skyscraper. Don't mistake me, your prediction may hold true in the end, but you haven't presented a compelling reason as to why. The things you mention do support your prediction, but only as Possibility #35 out of #5,398.

Actually, the biggest part was how "BIG" was emphasized by the SE rep. It might be my mistake to read too much into a PR lackey's attempt to hype up something stupid, but when you think BIG and not big, well, you kind of toss all this bs about homespaces and dlc out the window. You think exclusivity.

That and how it makes financial sense, and we've seen time and time again this gen SE puts money first.

It's certainly possible, but if it's true I won't be too happy, me and my 360 only butt



We'll see. I remember how Geoff Knightley's last "BIG Announcement" turned out to be a 30-second trailer for MW2, so I'm less apt to take PR hype at face value. Good luck though!
