360's North American success helped Square go 'platform neutral' with FFXIII

I've said this before ... if this were true, they'd be releasing Infinite Undiscovery on the PS3. It could still happen I suppose, but until then, I continue to claim BS on SE's "neutrality" stance.

well, yeah. it's easy to see that 360 in N.America is as popular as the PS2 was. most, including myself, have migrated from a PS2 to the 360. still waiting on that killer reason to own a PS3 what with most of it's exclusives going to 360.

Hey, I don't blame any company for looking into new markets or a wider fan base. I mean..well, it worked for Nintendo.

Regardless what others may say, I've never thought of Final Fantasy as one of the 'icons' of Playstation, considering they've had successful, well selling games on Game Boys. I understand fanboys of any console wanting to protect their icons (I really wouldn't like to hear of a Halo game on the Playstation or a Super Mario game come to the 360), but I don't think FF fans should be too hurt on this. It's not like we got Metal Gear 4 yet...

If they trully believed in reaching a larger number of people by making the game multiplatform then they should release all those JRPGs 360 exclusives on the PS3. Oh wait? They can't because all they care about is money.

Hypocrites.

I'm another 360 owner who also owned a PS2. I really wanted to buy a PS3 but it was more expensive for thee same games I could get on 360.

Well SquareEnix is being true to their words so far. They are both the developers and publishers of FF13 and Last Remnant (both of which are confirmed to be multiplat). Infinite Undiscovery and Start Ocean 4 are only published by SE, its Tri-Ace (the developlers) who are responsible for releasing the game on multiple platforms. All in all I just want to know whats my next move....cause if SO4 going to be an xbox exclusive like IU, then I can put aside my money for a 360 right now.

So baiscly square enix is saying "our game is not that great, in order to make money, we will only release on the top systems in the market. We dont think our game could sell systems at all."

FFX13 is a big middle finger right from SE. During the xbox days, we all wanted FF series, and since ps2 was much more popular, they didnt bring it over, not even ports. Now that the xbox brand is number one (in N.A), they scramble to get their products out onto the system (not just FF, but other rpgs too). And then they STILL dont release FFx in Japan, because in japan the 360 is doing as poor as the xbox1.

Well fuck you SE. You can keep your garbage. When you decide to support the console, maybe ill look into your games. But your just a coward hiding behind the biggest bush. Release FFx in japan, where the 360 aint doing so well, for the 360 fans, and I will have another look at you.

the moment the xbox 360 became CHEAPER THAN A WII after last christmas, I knew that it was fated.... :p

what killer ps3 titles is there cause MGS is for people that love mgs games just like halo they were both dissapointing to me. my ps3 is a great blue ray player cheapest at the time but my 360 is used all the time, and the controller for the 360 is the best in the world. with its games especially gears and now FF coming as well when the blue ray players are about the £100 mark i will be ebaying my PS3 for sure.

I can't help feeling that Squenix are the sluts of the gaming world, show them the money and they'll drop their knickers!

I own both the 360 and PS3, so I really don't care about exclusives, but I can't help but feel the PS3 will be better since it started out being designed for the PS3. But I wont be pre-ordering either version, I'll take a wait and see attitude and wait for a couple of reviews or comparisons.
