Suicide_Run Posted July 16, 2008 Report Posted July 16, 2008 So.....how do you guys feel about this? Thats right guys, FFXIII is no longer PS3 Exclusive. Anywho, I wish I had a console to play the FF series =(
Knight Posted July 16, 2008 Report Posted July 16, 2008 I suppose I'll be hated for this, but I'm actually quite displeased. I own both an xbox, and a ps3 (as I'm a !@#$%^&*)... And I find that the PS3 sales (why now climbing) are near abysmal in the race between nintendo, microsoft, and sony. (Atleast in north america... apperently the ps3 sales world-wide are quite nice). Anyways, the Final Fantasy series one the corner stone in my opinion of the sony enterprise. You can always garuntee the addicts (like myself) would buy a system for that game. I would have if I didn't own a ps3. As would alot of people I know. I think in the whole Square Enix made the best call for their sales. While probably destroyed sonys hope of a christmas release to send the ps3 sales through to roof. All in all, It's probably the best coorperate move for sony. Whatever, I'll own a copy a week before it comes out. Bye now.
Chambahs Posted July 16, 2008 Report Posted July 16, 2008 Agreed, I am so disappointed in Square Enix. ASSS.
jacob hunter! Posted July 16, 2008 Report Posted July 16, 2008 (edited) You are also forgetting about the final fantasy versus X111 which is only going to be sold exclusively for ps3 console that version being the better one to look at imo.. Edited July 16, 2008 by attraction

Cancer+ Posted July 16, 2008 Report Posted July 16, 2008 Alot more games are becoming multi-consoles now. Soon, every system will have every game. It's more money for the people who make the games.
X`terrania Posted July 16, 2008 Report Posted July 16, 2008 Nice root, let's see some recent stuff. You do know that sales have spiked considerably with last month's lil' ol release? Pretty well known that PS3 is finally becoming a behemoth in the sales now, which it definitely deserves.I wonder if Square made this decision before or after blu-ray owned the !@#$%^&* out of hd, I know Capcom made RE5 multi platform way before that happened. Stupid sell-outs. nyways gentlemen, now's the time, if ur too poor to afford a ps3 but own an xbox, sell that !@#$%^&* immediately and make the better choice, a smarter choice, god !@#$%^&* ps3!

I'm just showing you numbers... i think they speak for themselves and yes: I can see worldwide that the PS3 is selling better than the Xbox (not by much though)... that I am not denying.i'm not going to keep posting charts. go look at the site for yourself Edited July 17, 2008 by rootbear75
»Ducky Posted July 17, 2008 Report Posted July 17, 2008 The Resident Evil series has been multi-platform for years now. The fact is, these companies make more money cross platforming. Selling out? !@#$%^&* yes. What's the point in spending millions of dollars on a game and the game not making as much profit as possible.
Incomplete Posted July 17, 2008 Report Posted July 17, 2008 Alot more games are becoming multi-consoles now. Soon, every system will have every game. It's more money for the people who make the games.This is a total guess but I think they get paid extra by whatever make of console (e.g. Sony) to stay exclusive to that console. For example. Sony may have paid a few million to Square Enix to keep their previous games exclusive to Sony. Anyway I don't see what difference it makes for the gamers. I don't understand why gamers can hate Square Enix for their decision as they still get the game on their console. I guess they just like hording. nyways gentlemen, now's the time, if ur too poor to afford a ps3 but own an xbox, sell that !@#$%^&* immediately and make the better choice, a smarter choice, god !@#$%^&* ps3!I keep telling you this, having both consoles I still prefer playing on the Xbox 360 and I will continue to keep buying games on the 360 rather than the ps3 until I see it worth changing. Xbox 720 comes out in 3-4 years anyway.
»Lynx Posted July 17, 2008 Report Posted July 17, 2008 I'll buy the PS3 when Gran Turismo comes out... Until then, I'm fine with my 360. Also, you guys should look at the sales statistics of games too. The average of games owned is far higher for Xbox users, then PS3 users and especially Wii users. I suppose that makes sense though, as PS3 games are a freakin' rip off. -Lynx
Incomplete Posted July 17, 2008 Report Posted July 17, 2008 Also there aren't that many good PS3 games. There a only a handful of good ones.
»Lynx Posted July 17, 2008 Report Posted July 17, 2008 I've yet to hear a good reason to buy a PS3 right now. When Gran Turismo comes out - then yeah, that's a !@#$%^&* good reason, but sorry - Metal Gear just doesn't cut it for me to buy it right now. -Lynx
Suicide_Run Posted July 17, 2008 Author Report Posted July 17, 2008 Not going to bother buying a PS3 lol....cause you never know when they will come out with a PS4. Apparently Sony now noticed the problem with PS3 which they say the hardware team made the system separately and then dumping it on the software team's lap. Ending in massive fail and watching software team patch up everything.
»Lynx Posted July 17, 2008 Report Posted July 17, 2008 Well, I'm pretty sure that a PS4 isn't around the corner... as for the hardware technicalities - xbox has worse, some of which can't be "fixed" with software patches. Don't get me wrong, I'd buy a PS3 - but I won't buy one now that I have an Xbox 360 which is actually competing well with the PS3, even though it's a much older machine. Games wise, too - the Xbox has better games... at the moment. -Lynx

»Lynx Posted July 17, 2008 Report Posted July 17, 2008 I've never really bragged about Xbox being superior - although their online service is often a lot better, and Xbox are generally a LOT faster with ironing out bugs. Other than that, though - the PS3 is a better machine, just the prices are a little steep for the same kinda product. It's like the difference between Value Baked Beans and Heinz Baked Beanz.. Same product, just one is sold for more for pretty pathetic reasons. -Lynx
X`terrania Posted July 18, 2008 Report Posted July 18, 2008 i was talking to incomplete.. but since you brought that up, no name ketchup tastes like this, that's why i go for heinz
rootbear75 Posted July 18, 2008 Report Posted July 18, 2008 i don't understand, for like the past few months the only game you've been playing on the xbox is call of duty 4.it's the same with most of you guys, u all brag about how the xbox is superior but really the only games you're enjoying are multi platformed*cough* Halo 3 *cough*
rootbear75 Posted July 18, 2008 Report Posted July 18, 2008 what's halo 3..??a game that makes the 360 better than the PS3
