Final Fantasy Xiii Coming To The Xbox 360!
« on: July 15, 2008, 08:57 AM »

Square Enix just announced yesterday at E3 that final fantasy XIII will be released on the Xbox 360 in the US alongside the PS3 version.

Vowiski, any reaction?

lol,
i knew that was going to happen, seeing the delay and lack of info from sony and square unlike MGS4.
we saw it HAppen to GTA4 AND DMC4. and there was no significant impact
don't forget: they will complete ps3 ffXiii on ps3 before porting to the 360.

MS also had timed exclusive for alone in the dark, which scored 3-4.5 in most review.
microsoft has lost the whole concept.

I wount be be getting ffxiii either because m not a fan and i ve not played any.
like around 70% of ff sales are in japan. 360 version not coming to japan.

its timed exclusive to ps3 for almost a year.

FF vs. 13 is still exclusive and it completes the franchise.

sony has a small share in square enix.

these are the reasons why it will not hurt sony that much, it will still move ps3's (maybe not as many) but not that much less than it would have if it were still exclusive. i don't think the 360 version will sell as much copys as the ps3 version.

HOPE you saw HOW PS3 OUTSOLD 360 BY ALMOST 200K CONSOLES, FOR THE MONTH OF JUNE. lol
MGS4 TOPED THE CHART WITH OVER 700K COPIES SOLD.
GO! PS FANS

As usual, your information is flawed.
FF13 is an exclusive in Japan only. The US and Europe versions will release at the same time for the 360 and the PS3.
MGS4 didn't sell as many copies as Halo3, did not even constitute a major system seller for the PS3.

And i think it's pertinent to realise that a great many people are buying the PS3 just as a cheap Bluray player. it actually is one of the cheapest Bluray players on the market now.

pretty sure you don't know what you are saying.
ff is not getting a simuteneous world wide release.
cofirm your claims first,
infact it would be comming in multiple disc for the 360.

LOL,
MGS4, not a system seller? i can now see your level of ingnorance. keep it up.
GTA4 MOVED only about 300k  ps3 consoles in first month.
and MGS4 moved over 400k console in first month also, and you open your mouth to say its not a system  seller.
keep talking,

FF13 will come out on the 360 and the PS3 at exactly the same time in regions outside Japan. Check your information again.
There's no indication if FF13 will come in multiple discs on the 360. Square Enix made no mention of that.
Stop believing the propaganda Sony spews out. There's nothing evil about multiple discs. In fact, many people would prefer multiple discs to the installation to hard drive times on the PS3. For example, between each act inMGS4, there are install times.

I said MGS 4 was not a MAJOR system seller. I wonder how you missed that word? Major system seller would be something like Monster Hunter for PSP, which sold millions of copies in Japan, and turnd the PSP from selling 15000+ weekly, to outselling the Nintendo DS and the Wii for over 2 months now (55K + weekly sales of PSP hardware).

THE MGS4 BUNDLE WAS NOT ADDED TO NPD THE CHART.
+25k ps3s


PS3 WAS selling about 40k a week in japan. the sales jumped to over 100k a week, with the release of MGS4. and its not a major system seller?
YOU ARE SIMPLE JUST UNIMAGINABLE.

@ Vowiski
  Hey, dude, what the hell do u think u r sayin? U kip goin on threads tellin everyone the story's  u cooked up over night. Always sayin ps rocks and that the ps 3 has outrun the 360 console in sales. Let me make it clear to u that has at when the xbox 360 came out it has sold more consoles than any other console, let me ask u a qustion, when do think the ps 3 console came out? that u are braggin about its sales. Wit the mgs 4 at the date of release till date has never outrun Halo,  and u kip sayin ps 3 rocks. that console is just there to fool the crowd and includin u. Jus because ps 2 made a mark dosent mean that sony is better than microsoft. U know what u r sayin is not true, they are all false.
  YOU ARE JUST WAISTING UR TIME ARGUEING ABOUT what IS NOT A FACT WHILE BOTH CONSOLES ARE MAKING AND EARNING THERE MONEY FROM UR SOLE CALLED CRITICS. Just because of Mgs 4 person no go hear word! Na wa ooOOOOH!

THE wii has sold 32 million since lunch (in half the time the 360 used to sell just 20 million consoles)

The ps3 launched the same time the wii launched and has sold 16 million to date.

If calculate the amount of 360's sold in the first 23 months of its release (the amount of time the wii and ps3 have had to sell) it adds up to 14 mil consoles.

The ps3 is currently out selling the 360 monthly and with its line up of games in 2008 and 2009 its just amatter of time before it out sells the 360.

DO THE MATH

PS3 RULES
SONY RULES

Your Math and your logic is fatally flawed.
When the Xbox 360 was released, there were huge sections of the gaming community that were waiting for the release of the PS3 before making their minds up. Using the sales data from the first 23 months of the 360 release to compare the first 23 months of the PS3 release is a bad step.
Naturally, you fail to note that the PS3 is still one of the best Blu Ray players in terms of value, so millions of consumers have purchased PS3s simply as a Blu Ray player. As Sony takes a loss on each PS3 made, this class of buyers are unwanted by Sony.

Naturally, you fail to note that the Xbox 360 outsold the PS3 last month in the US. And that was before MS slashed the prices of 360s, with the cheapest version comin gin at $199. Guess what effect that'D have on the 360 sales?

i hope the combat system on the new final fantasy will not be turn-based. besides that, i think the only good feature of final fantasy is the stories. the gameplay is borin.
there was soooooooo much hype surrounding Final fantasy, when i got FF7 on the ps i was really dissapointed. the game was no where near as good as what they said it was. it was just like vagrants story (anybody played that game?)

I'm sorry, but i'm going to have to call you out on this one. FF7 has very little in common with Vagrant story. The only thing they have in common is turn based battling. Finito. And yes, i played Vagrant Story.

FF7 still remains one of the best games ever made. Why would someone who dislikes turn based games review a turn based game? I hate Tomb Raider, but you'll never catchj me saying it isn't a good game.
