Final Fantasy XIII

[zero2000]

I have been listening to several interviews with Sony reps, and Sony knew that FF13 was going to the 360. Hell, Sony is the third largest stock holder in Square-Enix. The top 2? Square and Enix, lol.

They said that it will be hard to see many third party exclusives, due to the fact that both consoles have not sold a significant amount of consoles yet this generation, and for the high development costs. Developers can't take the risk of going exclusive, and not making a profit.

Obviously there are SOME third part exclusives for the 360 and PS3, but we are seeing an ongoing trend where almost everything has been going multiplatform.

Microsoft pretty much has to fully RELY on third parties. If it wasn't for third parties, they would be in trouble. Sony has nearly 20 in-house/first party studios, as opposed to Microsoft's 4 (they have a few more but not for the 360).

Sony probably doesn't see a point in investing a ton of money to keep exclusivity of a third party game, especially if it is just going to end up being multiplatform. They just want to invest their money on developing games that are exclusive (and always will be exclusive). Obviously if I was the head of Sony, I would make an exception and try pretty hard to keep FF13 concidering how big of a game it is.

I forgot to mention this the other day, but with Sony having such a stake in Square, wouldnt it not really take much to keep the game exclusive? Or maybe they wanted to but Enix being the Owning company scrapped the idea?

I'll more than likely get a copy of FFXIII on PS3, seeing as how I think it might feel odd playing a Final Fantasy game on any other system... aside from the old school consoles (which I no longer own), of course.

I'm definitely getting a copy of Fallout 3 on my PS3... I need great games to play on that system, and from what I saw at E3, this game will most likely not disappoint me.

Thinking about getting the Collector's Edition, which comes with a bunch of funny stuff...

Final Fantasy XIII on Xbox 360 was my crowning moment when I watched E3 on G4. But Microsoft just had to show this really crappy camera angle that no one could see made me want to shoot someone. You just don't associate anyone else with Final Fantasy except Sony. And I can't even see the trailer for it!? That is just horrible... BOO!

I can't wait for the game to come out. I don't have a PS3 so I gotta get it for the 360.
