Wow.
Stevo @ Jul 14th 2008 3:10PM
COUNTDOWN ON BUNGIE.NET!!!!
FSK405K @ Jul 14th 2008 3:13PM
Seeing as how MGS is completely uninteresting to me, and how Little Big Planet looks like a combination of Black & White and Peggle, there now is no reason to consider repurchasing a PS3. (I got one on launch day but promptly sold it).
klitorisaurus @ Jul 14th 2008 3:13PM
Wow for sure! Sony is really dropping the ball this generation.
Jakka @ Jul 14th 2008 3:19PM
Imagine the Japanese Sales!
rv @ Jul 14th 2008 3:19PM
If Microsoft were to somehow purchase take 2 this week, it would be the most epic ownage ever!
Thats probably not gonna happen though.
NATO_Duke @ Jul 14th 2008 3:20PM
This is huge to me. I got the PS2 & 3 for this series more or less, and to see Sony not have this as an exclusive is shocking.
FOXHOUND @ Jul 14th 2008 3:21PM
You have to wonder if there'll be a lot of trade-ins of PS3s now...
Benny @ Jul 14th 2008 3:23PM
Jakka, I actually wouldn't be surprised if it sold like crap in Japan. The Japanese are a very proud people...
But hey, either way this ensures Microsoft will dominate Sony in the US market.
Marty @ Jul 14th 2008 3:27PM
That is exactly what I said when I read the title. Simply, "wow."
Jakka @ Jul 14th 2008 3:27PM
I will buy this game just because I can!
Hala Madrid!! (Madrileno hasta la muerte!) @ Jul 14th 2008 3:28PM
OMGWTFBBQ!!!! Final Fantasy XIII FOR THE XBOX360!!!!
*dancing with joy*
BananaBoat @ Jul 14th 2008 3:29PM
WOOOOOOOOT
Mr.ESC @ Jul 14th 2008 3:35PM
"I will buy this game just because I can!"
We are on the same boat mate He he he.
Mr.ESC @ Jul 14th 2008 3:40PM
Oh yeah Toasting in an epic bread!
This is a Win Sandwich is made of FFXIII,SDF tears and Epic.
E.J. @ Jul 14th 2008 3:41PM
Nail, meet coffin.
Although, I will purchase this for PS3 since I don't have any games for it besides MGS4 and MLB08 The Show.
xFenixKnightx @ Jul 14th 2008 3:48PM
Biggest PWNAGE I've ever seen at a E3 show. EVAR!
The only thing that would have made it a MEGA-GIGANTIC-TON-BOMB would've been a MGS4 port coming in Spring 09'
T @ Jul 14th 2008 3:50PM
There's Win. And then there's Epic Win.
Do we have anything for beyond that?
xFenixKnightx @ Jul 14th 2008 3:53PM
Safe to say this will be Attack of The Shows 'EPIC FAIL' for the day.
:P
BananaBoat @ Jul 14th 2008 4:00PM
Did you watch the E3 Live coverage on G4? During the Final Fantasy XIII announcement, they had to zoom waaaaaay out because Microsoft made them, so you could barely tell it was final fantasy. They should fail themselves on that front.
One more game I don't need to buy for my PS3.
Paul (PSN: heypaul) @ Jul 14th 2008 4:01PM
Noshino, Sheppy, Krazy Ken, Matt B, Vidikron, Curmeo, Borland and the rest of the SDF elite - Gentlemen, it's been real, but it looks like it's finally time for us to hang up our capes.
joe @ Jul 14th 2008 4:10PM
modded 360 = free for me lol
xFenixKnightx @ Jul 14th 2008 4:08PM
Curmeo and Name123 are rolling over in their banned graves. LMFAO!!!
NATO_Duke @ Jul 14th 2008 4:13PM
Paul +1 for the laugh!
Britton @ Jul 14th 2008 4:15PM
Yeah, I usually stick to reading Joystiq via my RSS feed and I just had to click into the comments this time around...I mean...this is insane.
I'm royally excited.
Myke @ Jul 14th 2008 4:21PM
I am still a little overwhelmed about the announcement and I truly feel this bittersweet. Bitter cause its no longer an exclusive for PS3 and sweet cause 360 owners will enjoy a great game. However, I don't believe that this game will be released in JP for the 360. If that is truly the case, then cool. Happy E3 everybody, PEACE!
Mr.ESC @ Jul 14th 2008 4:27PM
“There's Win. And then there's Epic Win.Do we have anything for beyond that?”
Astronomically Epic Win.
ThePerfectCompanion @ Jul 14th 2008 6:33PM
LMAO Fenix hell to the mothafucking YES!
Curmeo and name123 if either of you are reading this please know that you guys just got OWNED!
Enjoy 3rd place losers....
And I will be at the Midnight Launch to purchase this game. Who's with me?
hotnutz @ Jul 14th 2008 9:28PM
lol - I thought the "nail meet coffin" comments died a long time ago. The same people who thought HD-DVD would win out over BRD are also the same people who think that the PS3 will simply disappear. You people have a short memory, are woefully uneducated and are an embarrassment to your country.
borland502 (SDF Macross) @ Jul 15th 2008 8:00AM
"Gentlemen, it's been real, but it looks like it's finally time for us to hang up our capes."
Dude, it's like you've never heard of Little Big Horn or the Alamo. But you're right, I don't foresee taking even second place without FFXIII exclusive sales.
Still, I guess I should be happy the PS3 avoided getting Dreamcasted.
Huey2k2 @ Jul 14th 2008 3:05PM
You have no idea how happy this makes me.
I no longer have to buy a PS3.
Huey2k2 @ Jul 14th 2008 3:08PM
Who needs Blu-Ray now?
whymog @ Jul 14th 2008 3:11PM
When Microsoft began the keynote saying they'll have the top-selling console of this generation, I thought they were full of it.
But after this slew of announcements - and FFXIII - I think they're right. Unless Sony can pull out all the stops, I'm never getting a PS3.
Chicago Mafia @ Jul 14th 2008 3:15PM
I bought a PS3 for Final Fantasy XIII and for blu-ray. Now my PS3 has become just a movie machine now. I'll be buying my copy of FFXIII for my Xbox 360. Thanks Microsoft! My life is complete now.
bm @ Jul 14th 2008 3:16PM
+1 for that
Actually, I was going to borrow someone else's PS3... if I was even going to play it at all, since I don't trust Squenix with the FF franchise anymore after they fucked it up the last three times. I guess now I don't have to think about it either way.
browntown @ Jul 14th 2008 3:24PM
Ya, i agree, there are some other games but ff13 was a huge one, i think people will buy a ps3 now when it is much much cheaper. SONY scrwed up, i think they lost this gen for sure and they wil be outsold by the 360 now this year, im dissapointed in square enix, for makign me abuy a ps3 (even though i love soem games and can't wait for little big planet) i woulda saved soem money (im still buying a 360 this year) somuch moeny gone.
3cubed (4squared plus 2squared) @ Jul 14th 2008 3:32PM
I wanted a PS3 for three reasons FFXIII and Star Ocean being two of them. Now I don't need a PS3 since both are coming to the 360. Yay!
neko to kuruma @ Jul 14th 2008 3:41PM
Ditto. There have been no PS3 games besides Resistance 2 that I've wanted to play. As long as Square releases FFXII: Versus and KHIII for 360 as well, I won't ever need a $400-$500 RPG player.
why not the LS2LS7? @ Jul 14th 2008 7:09PM
There's already no chance MS will have the top selling console this generation. They'll be lucky to have 2nd this time around.
Even with this FF XIII thing.
There's just no chance they'll catch up to the Wii.
Knight Marquise @ Jul 14th 2008 3:05PM
And there goes the reason I was going to purchase a PS3.
Saria the Cat @ Jul 14th 2008 3:20PM
Ditto.
deaftly @ Jul 14th 2008 3:21PM
This conference literally just killed the PS3
xGeneral DEATHx @ Jul 14th 2008 3:23PM
I think the internets just exploded.
KarlW @ Jul 14th 2008 3:25PM
Let's see how Sony respond. There is probably something in place to hold the Japanese market.
There were rumours of a Final Fantasy 7 remake. That'd do it.
Still, it is a massive blow. This is an exclusive of MGS4-style proportions (if not bigger). Sony would have paid big to keep it, so there must have been an agreement: I'm guessing at exclusive content and an exclusive FF7 remake.
CGamble20 @ Jul 14th 2008 3:39PM
You bought a PS3 for a post-FF7 game? Your a fool!
There's still LittleBigPlanet, God of War 3, and Resistance 2.
I'm not a fanboy, so it makes me sick to act this way, but all you "OH MY GOD! SONY IS TEH EPIC FAIL!" are a bunch of losers who have saved up their excitement all year long because 360 has done shit this year.
Just admit it, the PS3 isn't going to go away.
With that said, goodjob 360. This was a massive announcement that will create shockwaves through the industry and joystiq pussys.
samfish @ Jul 14th 2008 4:12PM
"There is probably something in place to hold the Japanese market."
Unless MS gets FFXIII exclusively (they ren't) Sony doesn't have to worry about the Japanese market going to MS. At all.
commen-cents @ Jul 14th 2008 4:56PM
karlw...
your right there is something to hold the japenese market... this game
its not being released for the 360 in japan
Ralod @ Jul 14th 2008 5:23PM
After playing MGS4, I now have no reason to keep my PS3 now FFXIII is going to be on the 360 as well. Now we have to wonder about the timing. Is the PS3 and 360 launch going to happen at the same time? Or will sony still have a timed exclusive?
Sony better really have something huge at its press conference tomorrow. Or I think they have lost me as a customer.
Pedobear @ Jul 14th 2008 6:09PM
Nothing wrong with a post FF7 final fantasy. I had lotsa fun with FF9.
Eggy @ Jul 14th 2008 3:05PM
Which one?
The rest of the press conference was pretty meh.
