Blu Tiger · 03-22-2007, 09:24 PM

Ps3 is probably going to lose another exclusive.

Okay, all of us should just admit that this one would hurt a bit if it end up not being exclusive.

Keep in mind that it's not official, it's under "discussion".

Amon37 · 03-22-2007, 09:29 PM

It's not official and I beilve Sony owns part of Square-Enix.

powerSURG · 03-22-2007, 09:32 PM

that would most definitely hurt. Let's hope it isn't true, but you can't really blame the money hungry bastards... F!$!*%()!)($*!)(*$ ahhhh, man this sux. they have families to feed... and their kids college fund... *!&$(*!&$(*!&$

I'm not sure if I recall correctly but if I'm right, Sony used to have a HUGE stake in Squaresoft before the merger took place... then that's when their ownership was greatly reduced.

At least that's what I think. :-/

jorg · 03-22-2007, 10:00 PM

i would not worrie to much becuase if sony has any brains they would make them make the best one posiable for the ps3 then down grade to the point were the xbox 360 can handle it.

MasterXeus · 03-22-2007, 10:04 PM

I'm not surprise, Final Fantasy XI was multi-platform and let's face it Xbox 360 is a bigger challenge for the PS3, than the original Xbox vs. PS2. There’s a lot of people who have the 360 and that’s a lot of money that could be lost with exclusives. If it goes multi-platform, most likely FFXIII will come out on PS3 first and then sometime later out on Xbox 360. OF course the bright side Sony owns part of Square-Enix, so Sony will making some money off the Xbox 360 fans.

Amon37 · 03-22-2007, 10:05 PM

But FFXI doesn't count because it's a MMORPG.

Maximus · 03-22-2007, 10:06 PM

There is a big difference between thinking about it and doing it.

By the time Squeenix begin serious development they will know better what the PS3 userbase looks like, I mean the the EU is a very strong place for FF and the console is only going to launch in about 2 hours.

On that note I bid you adieu (I am off to work to sell some PS3s).

MrBogey · 03-22-2007, 10:29 PM

Why do 360 fans substitute their wishes for news articles?

The article doesn't say FFXIII is going multiplatform. If you analyze the quote the SCEE exec made a stupid comment that makes no sense from his POV.

You don't see PS3 fans walking around talking about how the Xbox is losing Halo exclusivity. So stop jumping the gun and spreading FUD.

kknight · 03-22-2007, 10:30 PM

Sony needs to act fast and start paying these companies for exclusives just like Microsoft... This is not looking good for the PS3.

Blu Tiger · 03-22-2007, 10:37 PM

It's not my wish Mr. Bogey. I have a PS3. I don't care what systems it comes to (What does Georges Fornay know anyways? He's only one of Sony's PRESIDENTS) . But I'll put money on it that it goes multi-platform, just like they lost exclusivity with Devil May Cry 4, Grand Theft Auto 4, Assassin's Creed, Virtua Fighter 5, Fatal Inertia, Armored Core 4, and Bladestorm: The Hundred Years' War.

It looks like Tekken 6 might not be PS3 exclusive either:

And rumors are that Metal Gear 4 is coming to the 360 as well too.

http://www.joystiq.com/2006/12/17/he...ps3-exclusive/

It looks like Sony is losing exclusives left and right.

lol, MrBogey, I didn't know gamespot.com was a Xbox fan boy. Personally I like that we can keep up on top of everything including possibilities. Of course you don’t see PS3 fans walking around taking how the Xbox is losing Halo exclusivity. I haven't seen a news article saying so, but I would bet you that if there was a one saying that. PS3 Fans would be cheering and talking about it. Just like Xbox fans are talking about Saints Row, Assassin's Creed, and Devil May Cry 4. I’m sure there was talk about Oblivion coming to PS3, since Morrowind was an Xbox only, (not counting PCs).

True Amon37, FFXI is a MMORPG, It was on PS2 for two years before it even showed up on Xbox 360. FFXi is own by Square-Enix, which owns FFXIII. So I think it should count.

Well said MaserXeus. I get tired of people trying to sway me one way or the other in the great PS3 vs. 360 debate. I love them both too and will support both. It doesn't have to be one or the other.

MasterXeus · 03-22-2007, 11:10 PM

agreed

NARMAK · 03-22-2007, 11:12 PM

i don;t care what people say, even if the PS3 loses exlusives left right and centre (which would really hurt me and loads of other PS3 owners real bad) i beleive that we would get the best versions of these games to some degree because of the space blu-ray holds and the massive worlds developers are trying to create on a mass scale.

All those massive worlds full of lush graphics and high def cinematics is gonna need a heck of a lotta space and thats one thing the xboxb 360 cannot compete with the PS3 on.

Just wait and see when GTA comes out and hear about how much problems they had trying to get the game to fit on a DVD for the 360 and how easy it was to put it onto a blu-ray disk.

Just to stay on topic, this hasn;t been confirmed as a multi-platform title just yet like devil may cry was so it is very mis leading. I also would advise the poster next time try and not say somethings gone multi-platform when it hasn't been confirmed as it spreads FUD.

shido · 03-23-2007, 12:25 AM

I don't see why people are getting so upset. If the game goes multiplatform, it doesn't mean they're taking away the PS3 version. Of course if you were looking to have something to gloat about to 360 players you'd be out of luck, but in this situation the best thing to do is to simply buy the PS3 version. Unfortunately in this generation, games just cost too much to justify exclusives except for 1st and 2nd party developers. As long as devs don't get lazy like EA with their ports I don't have a problem with multiplatform titles.

RichiPuppy · 03-23-2007, 12:43 AM

I hope it isn't true, but if it is I would be willing to bet, it would be more likely the wii then the 360 that would get this, I mean think about all the past ff games for nintendo, and there are a few off branches that came out on the game cube and gameboy advanced, and nintendo is way more appealing in Japan, where ff games are made.

exactly..that is why i have this little post:

BUT..BUT...

look what was said last time

“Every month there’s less and less reason to buy a PS2. Why pick it up when almost all the same games are available on Xbox and they look and play much better?”

- Ed Fries, VP of Xbox Game Content

i guess ED thought it over a min. an well i guess we know what happened....

insert the following:

“Every month there’s less and less reason to buy a PS3. Why pick it up when almost all the same games are available on Xbox360 and they look and play much better?”

- fanboy's

an well i guess we know what happened.... last time

been there an done that...sony is commited to 10 year GAME SUPPORT CYCLE...any other game system company said they will commit to a 10 year GAME SUPPORT CYCLE besides SONY...

anyone..?

yea that's what i thought....

this shuts up quite a few people..what did the playstation 2 sell last time..yea that's right 100 million.....an with the playstation 3..it just may repeat the same ...

Blu Tiger · 03-23-2007, 01:00 AM

So far games don't look better on PS3. Maybe once they start pushing the PS3 towards it's limits. IGN.com has been comparing games that are on both systems and declaring 360 the winner.
