2 Minutes Turkish said:Console warz was started by the SDF claiming how shit MS' conferrence was until this announcement. You should learn to keep a better poker face.
The MS hate on this forum has been pretty disgusting since this whole "PS3 08" shit started. E3 has changed that big time. I think some people need to deal with it better.
:lol Yeah, because I expected you to think any differently.
Y2Kev said:Yeah, only the SDF would think MS was having a completely boring, snooze worthy conference until the end.
nib95 said:Star Ocean is not an exclusive. Notice how no mention of timed exclusive or exclusive was mentioned at all at the conference like the other games. Last Remnant is a timed exclusive and Infinite Undiscovery an exclusive.
I think what it boils down to, is that Microsoft paid top dollar for all this. I wouldn't even be surprised if they paid well over $50 million.
Quazar said:Glad you got it all figured out. Maybe buying all these exclusives will move more 360s than PS3s. Because we know how bad 360 software / hardware #'s are compared to the almighty PS3.
What about the recruitment listings, which mentioned it was Xbox360 exclusive?nib95 said:Star Ocean is not an exclusive. Notice how no mention of timed exclusive or exclusive was mentioned at all at the conference like the other games
Fenderputty said:It doesn't have to be about moving 360's. It could be about hampering the PS3. I'm sure there are 360 owners out there who were going to jump into the PS3 once this game hit. They won't have to now.
Quazar said:Pretty much.
Private Hoffman said:Looks like FF13 is a PS3 exclusive in Japan....isn't that where the most damage of FF13 could potentially be done? It's huge in Japan.
Looks like Sony kept FF13 exclusive for Japan because it will matter more to the PS3 in that region than exclusivity would have meant in US/EU.

Shouta said:As far as I can tell, PS3 JP version first then possibly PS3/360 version in English together but not quite sure yet.

HAMUAUZUUUU
Catchpenny said:Countdown until the usual suspects start hyping Versus as the better Final Fantasy experience...
Nervous Hamster said:FFXIII on Xbox 360 means nothing. And IMO Versus XIII looks much more interesting.
a1m said:Square Enix claims the game is still far too early in development to reveal (or even speculate at) a release date, though the company did reveal their current work schedule: First, the company will finish the Japanese PlayStation 3 version, which will then be localized for North America and Europe.
Once that’s completed, work will begin on the Xbox 360 version.
Roxas said:Should've seen this one coming considering Square-Enix were holding their press conference right after Microsofts.
fortified_concept said:Gee there must be waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more SDF in this forum than we have previously predicted. Because almost everyone was laughing at the conference.
It's like waking up in a different world...Wyndstryker said:I take an nap only to wake up to this?! I never expected to hear FFXIII to be going multiplat!
This one annoucement made E3!
Fenderputty said:Releasing the game on the 360 in Japan wouldn't have that big of an effect anyway. 360 sales are pretty low there. Most people would probably still get a PS3 to play the game. Where this really hurts Sony is in NA and EU.
This is a fucking HUGE slip up. I can't believe they let this happen.
fortified_concept said:Gee there must be waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more SDF members in this forum than we have previously predicted. Because almost everyone was laughing their asses off during the conference.
I bet many xbox fans are SDF's secret agents too!
Quazar said:You're catching on.
Quazar said:Well, I'm glad you could detect my shitty sarcasm. This isn't about any of that shit. It's about SE selling a shit load of software due to the 360 fanbase in NA/EU.

Private Hoffman said:I think you're missing the point:
FF13 seems to be the one PS3 game Japanese gamers are waiting on.
Let me remind you that the PS3 is also doing poorly in Japan. It hasn't runaway with anything in that country yet.
360 sales are low but the price is right, they're getting a lot of exclusive RPG content -- FF13 could have pushed Japanese gamers over the top to go with 360 rather than the PS3.
FF13 being PS3 exclusive in Japan is really a lost opportunity for Microsoft and if there's anything to mitigate the damage that has been done by this announcement, then PS3 exclsuivity in Japan is it.
Private Hoffman said:Anyway, I'm expecting another Square megaton at E3...
Kingom Hearts for the Wii.
I'd love to see it on the PS3...but my gut reaction tells me this is Wii exclusive.
BocoDragon said:I actually don't think it's fanboyish if you are a shocked PS3 owner right now. Many PS3 owners bought the machine because of the promised exclusive games for it. Now that these games are no longer exclusive, you might feel that you wasted a lot of money.
A true fanboy just bought a PS3 because it was called "Playstation" or "Sony"... but someone who bought a PS3 for Final Fantasy XIII is a legitimate consumer, and they might feel legitimately betrayed right now.
But come on... grow up, accept it.. and stop with the damage control!
