Doesn't matter Sony doesn't need third party games. 1st party is the future. (Y)

I wonder if we'll see a MGS4: ***-ence on 360 now. That's basically all that's left. And I'd wager if FFXIII is multi then FFvsXIII will be multi as well.

This is a big deal, but wait a day and then reflect. It just means that the status quo will stay the same for a while longer. Now, 360 owners won't have to buy a PS3 to play FF13.
but by the same boat, exactly how many AAA 3rd party exclusives does MS have?FoneBone said:
Clearly this generation isn't about 3rd party exclusives. It's about PS360 vs. Wii. Watching all of the previous exclusives fall by the way side just proves it. All that either console has left for the most part are first party exclusives. Otherwise their lineups look eerily similar.

Yeah your right. I'm just saying looking at the big picture, it was really a painful Conference to watch.
That was without a doubt the biggest megaton to ever happen at an E3.
There was no way anyone saw that coming.
No matter what you feel either way about the game's placement, you just have to hand it to Microsoft for even pulling that shit off. Fake ending to the conference and everything.
Fucking. Epic.

wow, this is good news, now more people could enjoy this game (plus the meltdowns are going to be awesome). But whats with the ps3 is dead comments, sony fans can still play this game and IMO I think it has a better future line up. Ya the 360 has this title, but how dose that matter to ps3 owners (who are not crying fanboys)

Same boat really. I have nothing against Sony and i have owned their first 2 systems and loved them to bits, but i'll jump first to the console that has the most exclusives i want. I really don't see much reason to buy a ps3 before the 360 (i *will* buy both eventually) when my sole reason at the moment is MGS4, as much as i love that franchise.Frank the Great said:

as huge as this is, i think everybody's overreacting a tad. the main numbered FFs don't sell like they used to. even if it was a sony exclusive, it's questionable how much PS3s the game would actually move.
its a huge win, regardlesss, and telling of the times. but you gotta keep it in perspective

Would be nice if JRPG's actually could be called true RPG's
Seriously, people are surprised about this?
In this day and age game development costs are too large to make any moves that unnecessarily minimize your audience. FFXIII is a hugely expensive title that forces Square-Enix to be aggressive in recouping their development costs. We've already seen this with Fabula Nova Crystallis Final Fantasy XIII, branching out FFXIII into a brand that utilizes development tools, assets, and technology across a series of games to mitigate some of those expenses. Making the game available on the 360 is the next logical step, the platforms are close enough and neither console has the mainstream market share to justify owning the game solely.
Really, the time of honest-to-goodness exclusives are long dead. Games are too large and too expensive to risk on silly things like traditional platform loyalties. Timed exclusives will exist as long as 1st parties are willing to shell out money and there will always be the 1st party or pseudo-1st party games that of course will remain platform-specific, but otherwise the 3rd party exclusive is going the way of the dinosaur.

Really don't give a fuck about what happens to the FF franchise. It has been dead since FF9 anyway.

It is going to come out in Japan a few months before US and EU so all PS3 owners worldwide are still effectively getting it as a timed exclusive due to the fact that PS3 is region free.
I think it is good news that it is coming to the 360, I hate it when platform holders pay to have it kept from another console.

Hey guys we got one of those psychics over here!
Wow, betrayalton indeed :lol
After this news, MGS4 is the only (and last?) relevant third party exclusive of PS3. If Konami doesn't release the game on the 360 (while the rest of the third parties are doing it) they're going to look like a bunch of idiots or something.
BTW, right now I'm thinking on selling my PS3. I don't want to be stuck with a dea... I mean, right now I can sell it for a good price, right?. Right?.

Time for Insomniac to reevaluate your relationship with Sony, that MS cheddar is serious.
I wonder what this means for Versus though? Sony better shed some light on this tomorrow.
Oh man, if we thought Tretton was nervous last year... not only does he have XBots on his case, he now has every Sony Fanboy frothing like rabied dogs...:lol

Yay, finally passed the 500 errors.
Anyways I suppose I would be surprised if I hadn't been saying FFXIII will come to the 360 for financial reasons for over a year (on forums where such talk isn't bannable at least). My only questions are how much did MS pay to save S-E and how mush will it effect the game's quality and release date.
