Forums - Gaming - How will ff13 sell on 360?

bonkers555 on 18 December 2009

I wish all xbox 360 JRPGs fans pick this game for the 360. It will show Square Enix that the North America xbox 360 would love to have support from them. Please if you have a Xbox 360 and PS3 pick up the 360 version. I know me and friends and family will.

Microsoft is going to advertise the shit out of FF13. I believe it will outsell on PS3 version US+EU though.

See, now this is where it gets tricky. I dont think Sony will let this happen. I bet we will see Playstation FF13 commercials, like we see xbox MW2 commercials.

MSFT secured FF13 most likely for the same reason they came out with the xbox. Prophylactically. In the states sure, FF13 may have pushed some consoles but now its on the 360 it wont force any 360 owners to buy a PS3. And in EU the same thing.

This move by MSFT was never about selling on par, it was about stopping 360 users or consumers from buying a PS3. And it was brilliant.

Fanboys will point to the sales (which in my opinion will be +4 Million for the PS3 WW) As a fail for MSFT, but in my mind the potential damage from an exclusive FF releasing in the spring for PS3 along with GT would have sunk MSFT in Europe to go with Japan.

Briliant move by MSFT, its not about sales.

 

Brilliant or stupid move?

Ok, maybe people will buy it for 360 instead of buying a PS3 with the game.

No matter what, there will be more people buying this game and see how great it is.

But after finishing the game people probably want more of this ... but there won't be any ... because the next Final Fantasy (versus XIII) is a PS3-exclusive!

To play it they must buy ... (drums rolling) ... a PS3!

And so I revealed Sony's move! :)

And versus wont be out for probably another 2 years which by then the market could change, and FF13 was a PS3 exclusive, that can change with versus as well. What better reason for SE to make versus multi than an extra 2 million copies sold (if FF13 sells that on the 360)

This gen has taught us one thing, the only time a game is exclusive is if its published 1st party or if its out already on one system an dits exclusive for the current time. At this stage im hesitant to call any non released 3rd part game a concrete exclusive.

If the PS3 version of ff13 destroys the 360 version I think it would be a safe bet to call versus an exclusive.

@bonkers: That's not up for you to decide, and at the rate pre-orders are going, it looks like the PS3 version will sell better in North America, though it should be close numbers in the end. If FFXIII being on Xbox 360 does not indicate support from Square Enix, I don't know what will.

OT: I think it should be able to do over 1 million, which is good, as it clearly shows there is a fanbase for JRPGs on the Xbox 360.



Rockstar: Announce Bully 2 already and make gamers proud!

Kojima: Come out with Project S already!

Sorry, but Infinite Undiscovery, FF13, Star Ocean, The Last Remnant, Lost Odyssey, Tales of Vesperia, Blue Dragon.

I think you guys have had your chance

Not necessarily. We dont know how much it would cost to develop it on the 360 and if they can sell enough copies to benefit and outweigh it it would make more sense for them to make versus multiplat.

There are too many variables behind closed doors we arent privy too. Its not just sales numbers.

And besides, I can't be bothered to disc-swap, especially since I have a choice whether to do so or not (though at the end, it's just a minor thing).

What better reason for SE to keep Versus XIII a PS3-exclusive so they only have to develop for 1 console after getting free advertising from MS.

True but I'm just hoping that vs remains an exclusive. I have not gotten an answer on this from anyone but was ff14 labled a ps3exclusive?

I hope so too just because i want to see Sony's game division remain healthy. It was announced at E3 PS3 exclusive but in a Q&A with SE they already said theyre exploring avenues.

Plus Trettons wording "when its released.....it will be available only on the PS3" was a red flag for a lot of people.

I think Tetsuya Nomura stated before that he wants to take advantage of the PS3's offerings for his game.
