Where is Alan Wake? Does it still exist? I think we first saw it like four years ago.

first to nintendo, now to sony, except this time around, they will notice that their experiment with M$ isnt worth it because the ps3 is going to drastically outsell the 360 version in Europe. add that with japan, and US.loooool

Why do people really care what game a system is on, like that? How is it a "betrayal" in the slightest? This is especially ridiculous because the thing isn't leaving one system for the other. It's on both. I mean christ, get over it.

Sign here if you won't buy FFXIII or will only buy it used so Square Enix gets no profit

eh, I can kind of sympathize in the sense that keeping it PS3 exclusive would show some kind of principle on Squeenix's part. It's kind of disappointing, in that sense. But I haven't really expected much in the way of "principle" from Squeenix since Kingdom Hearts, so this does not shock me.

I generally like console exclusivity too, because ideally it helps ensure a game will be of higher quality, since it can be tailored to the console's strengths. Almost all of the greatest games of the last generation have all been exclusive, with some of them getting inferior ports to competing consoles a year or so after release... and that's still more or less true, now.

That being said... lol internet amirite guys?

I guess I just don't put enough stock in Square to care one way or the other. Nor am I shocked. The people crying about "loyalty" to Sony or whatever are kind of forgetting Square jumped off Nintendo's boat to land on Sony's to being with. The PS3 isn't a dominant platform, so it isn't going to receive exclusive 3rd party content. That's just how it works. If they want that to change, they at least have to differentiate their market enough from Microsoft's to make it advantageous for certain titles to be developed with the PS3 in mind. As it stands, what 3rd party titles are exclusive these days? MGS4 is more or less the only thing. A couple Capcom titles, maybe.

[Toups]

That's not really what I mean. Just the idea that, you know. This here is a PS3 game. It reflects the values of the PS3. For whatever good or ill that may entail.

(and yeah it's a silly idea but there are implicit values to each console, more so in this generation than any other -- even if those values are shallow and rarely have any impact on what the games are like)

(and this will have zero effect on what FFXIII is like, except for the fact that the 360 version will have (probably quite hilarious) achievements)

And no, none of this really matters.

In other words, I don't think it's "wrong". Just a little ignoble. And hey, that's the reality of the videogames market right now. I don't fault them for it one bit.

As I was saying to Balbanes. The culprit is not Microsoft "paying them off" (regardless of what may have gone on behind the scenes.) The real "moneyhat" here is nothing more than market realities.

The only difference I see between the PS3 and the 360 is PS3 owners probably like Japanese games a bit more than 360 owners. It's not much at all. They do the same things, they grab for the same market. Square wasn't going to to anything interesting with FFXIII anyway, and this isn't going to change that.

[Monthenor]

[BalbanesBeoulve]

The hilarious thing is that the PS3 and Xbox 360 are just fighting for scraps.

But FFXIII isn't leaving the PS3. The people like Mr. Gamefaqs above that think Square made Tara to be his girlfriend bought a PS3 the day it came about because Tetsuya Nomura is their hero and he told them to. No matter how much we associate the FF series with these people, they are still in the minority. The majority of FF buyers are the kinds of people you already mentioned. They own both systems, they buy everything, they know the difference between an 8.1 and an 8.2.

The guys that take a shot every time they get a chainshot kill are on the opposite spectrum. They don't own a PS3 because Brad across the hall doesn't own a PS3.

The majority of the people that own either system are the kinds of people for which their is no difference between them. Within this subset is the super gamer that has them both and doesn't give a fuck either way. The only difference here is the majority of Gears buyers don't own both system, but the majority of FF players probably do.
