Final Fantasy is gone, is the PS3 dead in the water?
358
PSBeyond writes:
"Microsoft fired off the shot heard round the world today at their E3 press conference when it was announced that the long time Sony exclusive Final Fantasy franchise would be making its way to Microsoft's Xbox 360. The chaos that ensued from the 'Final Fantasy Exclusivity Crisis' was evident across hundreds of gaming message boards. Square-Enix was branded a turncoat and sell out. 'FailStation' doomsday proclamations were made. Hundreds of angry fanboys frantically scrawled out flames and flinged insults. This is a defining day in the 7th generation console war, there is absolutely no way denying this. However, is it possible that this announcement and its effect on the PS3 could be over exaggerated? Is Sony dead in the water, and the PS3 rendered a $400 paper weight, as some have said? "

Of course not. The PS3 has survived multiplatform releases of GTA IV and Devil May Cry 4. I don't see this killing the PS3. Besides, competition is good, and maybe this should open Sony's eyes.

1.4 - hmm sonarus
you give up on fanboy of the week?
btw i agree with what you say, for xbox to kill off ps brand, they have to steal the exclusive, not just share it with the ps brand...and to promote newer ips and new exclusives at the same time
As far as i've seen for previous multiplats, it doesn't do much damage to either platforms...seriously
Maybe it will slow sales in the states for a bit, but you think in Japan, where it needs FF13 most, would be affected by this for a single bit? You must be kidding me..
AND WHAT IF... the save file of FF XIII versus has anything to do with FF XIII, you know, hidden characters, bonus gears, things like that...and you will never be able to get it if you are playing FF XIII on xbox 360...this is a bad news for PS brand, but not as bad as many of you might think

1.7 - Where's the FF franchise the biggest?
If you said Japan, you thought correct. This still being exclusive in Japan is HUGE. This game will still sell consoles in the far east. It's also good for Sony that it stays exclusive in Japan since, allowing this game to release on the 360 in Japan could have been a tidal swing for the system as well.
It's going to hurt, but I think this is being overblown. I think the loss of GTA was worse than this. Especially since, GTA is a bigger console seller in the states.
Plus ... as Sonarus said, they've survived everything so far.

1.20 - love your sarcastic comment jdoggystyle!
"what a great system they have made...with the new dashboard..netflix etc.."
You sum it all up. That was their main keynote (yes, I know, there's more to come), and all they could do is confirm what we already knew (like the exact date for Gears) or the progress on Fallout and Fable. That was truly mind boggling. I was amazed.
So basically, the only new stuff they came up with,(not counting FF) was a new dashboard (long, long overdue) and netflix (I guess just in case your cable box or pc is broken).
I really hope for Microsoft that the next time they get on stage, they have more to show up. (and somehow, I do think they do though)

ps3 isnt dead but it might be on life support after this. Like it or not that was a HUGE MASSIVE blow to sony. Star ocean 4 is already a 360 exclusive The only good news to come out of this is that they are not porting FF13 to the 360 in japan. MS has gotten almost every big 3rd party title that was once exclsuive to ps to go over to the 360 camp. The only one that they didnt get is MGS4 (then again that could just be a matter of time).

The best thing out of the MS showing was something that has been known to be coming to PS3 for a long as5 time now.
You know what E3 just started and Sony is likely to bring something new thats worthy to the table for the "hardcore" audience. All that waiting for applause was embarrasing to watch. Lucky for them Squeenix bailed them out.

1.24 - Dead in the water? Hardly
3The title does little to be anything but slanderous. The game never left the Plaform. from what has been gathered, the PS3 is way ahead with development. exclusive release in japan, and then localizations will commence after it's shipped in EU and NA, the 360 version will take development. this game is a 1 year timed exclusive that i'm sure Sony will likely announce. This game is still a Playstation game that wont show it's face till after the PS3 version is out. So i find this article faling just by the title. indeed this is a huge blow to Sony but nothing crippling by any means. sony still gets this game long before the xbox and Sony Better use that to there advantage.
Still i'm in shock that they got so carless, yes they survived GTA4 and they survived DMC4, they hung onto MGS4, but even that isn't anywhere near as big as FF, and they let the main series become multiplat. Kaz harai has gone nuts. You should know first hand That you cant win with just first party alone. yes your first party is magnificent and you have some unbelievable talent amongst your 20 first party studios but Damn It look what happen to nintedo, Sony didn't you learn.
This is the franchise that made you what you are. Kaz Kaz kaz yo need to look and re evaluate your stance as president of Sony Computer entertainment.
Final Fantasy versus is only exclusive for the Moment, and thats because that game is on the back burner to get teh PS3 version of the Main series out First. i'm sure as work wraps up on versus They will announce it multiplat, unless sony steps in and agrees to fund it and such.
oh well. strike 2 for sony, let the next one slip and they will have run out completely.

Wow. MS paid for another exclusive to go multiplat.
If we get these ps3 is dead articles every time that happens im gonna go insane.
What they have is ff13.
What they dont have is a complete-out-of-the-box, reliable console.
4 weeks ago it was "one game (mgs4) cant make or break a console"
Now its "one game going multiplat can break a system"
Dont get me wrong. This is a massive facepalm for sony.
That said, I dont know if it will convince many ppl to choose a 360 over a ps3. There is still alot more value in the ps3 imo.

Final Fantasy is still a PS3 exclusive in Japan. They are only releasing the game on XBOX 360 in english speaking countries.
When SOCOM comes out, you are going to see a massive increase in PS3 sales in the US and Canada. Not to mention Killzone 2 and Resistance 2.
At the end of the day Final Fantasy will still come out on the PS3 and on one disc.

1.35 - The PS3 is in no way dead in the water.
Sure it's a big change to see FF go multiplat but is it enough to kill a console? No, it's not and it's more than likely not enough to spurr on huge sales for the 360 since it will only get a English version on the 360 and not a Japanese release on any other console bu the PS3. They are helping out the Westerners in giving them a 360 version since the 360 has the larger install base in the West. It is a good business move for an expensive game.
Sony still has the bigger install base int he region where FF will sell more copies. I can see why they had no issues with this, especially since they own 10% of SE and didn't want to take a hit in stock price.

Why are people saying that one game will make or break the ps3? Have you all not seen the line-up for the ps3 compared to the 360? Oh wait! There is no note worthy lineup for xbox! Ps3 has a lot of great exclusives coming who cares if xbox gets a ps3 game. The majority of the idiots arent happy because they get a FF great game, they are happy because they get a once ps3 exclusive, simple as that. Xbox only fans dont even care or havent even played any FF games so what the sh!t do they care about getting a JRPG? This is hypocricy at its finest!

Other then the FFXIII announcement Microsoft's conference was filled with info we've already heard and mostly boring footage. Even ign said that other then the announcement nothing was groundbreaking and that sony could have walked away with the win if not for wada coming back out.
Then again he did so things have changed a bit, but Sony has never been one to rely on past franchises like Nintendo. They're always trying to capitalize on new IPs and I believe it'll be the same thing this generation as well.
Because remember. The ps2 jump started a lot of the franchises that microsoft now believes gives them the upper hand.

With good reason. FFXIII WILL come out on the PS3 first in Japan. That is fact. When it comes out in the US will depend on when the 360 port is finished (hopefully Squeenix changes their mind on this) so PS3 owners would be justified.

You can't listen can you. You are as imperceptive as everyone else. Square said the 360 will get "A VERSION" of FF13. Not the one that is coming for the PS3. Not even close.
In the end does it matter the 360 is getting A VERSION? No. People like G4 are making it out to be huge. But it won't be a system seller for people that own all those PS1 and PS2 FF titles. At the end of the day, FF titles have a fairly narrow appeal.

Heads up losers! Your FFXIII is coming AFTER the PS3 version of FFXIII! Plus, it won't be sold in Japan, which means it'll won't sell that good in North America!
Your precious Microshaft shot themselves in the foot because Sony knew about this and must have made a deal with Square since they own a share in the company!

"You can't listen can you. You are as imperceptive as everyone else. Square said the 360 will get "A VERSION" of FF13. Not the one that is coming for the PS3. Not even close."
you are realy f**king pathetic arn't you? can't take the bad news so you spew out anything that will make you feel more comfortable. You lost your big exclusive, wah wah wah! wipe those tears and deal with it.

Square said a long time ago that 'games based in the FFXIII universe will find its way to other platforms'...what is unclear is whether or not identical versions are going be released...or if it is some sort of spin-off (FFXIII: the blah blah blah something or other)...
Square publically announced that resources had been shifted to the PS3 version of the game to speed up development...and that that had slowed Versus XIII to a near hault currently...the entire PR statement focused on "getting the absolute most out of the PS3 first, then focusing on other titles"...this was just days ago...
I am only pointing this out in the sense of giving Sony a chance to retaliate...I know 360 fanboys are absolutely unmatched in calling victory before the fight even starts...there is little chance that Sony doesn't have just as big of a FFXIII announcement ready...what is one thing bigger than the 360 getting FFXIII?...Sony saying just 24 hours later that its not the 'true' version...
either way...will be interesting to see...and what about the FFVII stuff?...Sony owns some publishing rights to that game (seeing as how each FF is considered its own IP, I would assume Sony held on to some of it)...we'll see tomorrow...but its too early to know just how much Sony lost just yet...

it is really funny that the best news coming out of the MS conference was having a PS3 game, somehow sad.
And now because FFXIII is coming to 360 a year or so after the PS3 version the PS3 is dead??? are you serious?? I think I understand their excitement as looking at their future exclusive games is kind of boring.
So if the PS3 is dead because of this, the the 360 died a long time ago when Lost Planet came to PS3 and now Bioshock too, rumors say Lef4Dead is coming too. In fact the 360's been going down since the RROD.
So..if I only had 2 exclusive good games to look forward to and one of those was FF13 I would say the PS3 is dead but there are many more like MS2,Resistance2, LBP, KZ2, J&D, FFV13, GOW3 and others..unlike the 360 that has Gears2 and Fable2(they say its good) and..and..umm..Banjo???(they f@ked up this game)Halo Wars??(Command And Conquer with Halo name to sell well) Too Human?(according to Kotaku and the people who have played it, it sucks big time)
I think the right question here would be..Is the 360 dead in the water?is It struggling to survive with just a couple of good exclysive games? Is releasing the console one year before the PS3 the only thing keeping it alive and having support from other companies? What's after Gears Of War 2 and Fable? FFXIII in two years?
I THINK IT IS COMING TO A VERY BORING STATE.

No Jason you are pathetic. If you look at some of my other comments you will see what I think of FF13 and it's androgynous 14 year old world saviors.
The one that is pathetic and mad is you. You think you are getting a treat, only to realize their isn't any candy just the gooey white stick.
A version, the Wii version, a version that isn't just a matter of a Gametrailers splitscreen but one that has been hacked to death to make it fit on a couple of DVD9s. Oooh, enjoy that inevitable install.
Jason360 = another all day sucker.
And jcfilth said it best. Your best news is getting a hacked down version sometime somewhere in the future. Now that is pathetic. BTW, tried the Too Human demo and it blows chunks the size of New Jersey.

There is no way shape or form that one game is gonna destroy or make a console that much better . The original xbox had halo which is that time was an amazing game and there wasnt a game like it but yet it didnt make a huge load of people buy an xbox which is obvious because microsoft didnt support it for long. PS3 has ton of excellent games that are coming out other than FF which i'm a huge fan of. I'm pretty sure that FF isnt gonna sale as many copies as MGS4 because there are more shooter and action adventure fans than RPG fans especially here in the US which is why Square Enix made their decision to make it multiplatform to pull more US consumers into RPG's. Sadly it's still gonna sell really well on the PS3 so how does that make it dead in water? If it was completly only on 360 then yes this would be a huge blow to the PS3. There is a more rpg fan base in japan and PS3's sold so i can promise you that this isnt gonna be as a big deal as people are making it out to be. I have both systems but i will be buying FF on the PS3 like a million other players. That's where it really took off so it would be un-traditional for me to be playing it on my 360..this news is being very overhyped and anyone who thinks sony doesnt have something up their sleeve as well is very stupid and we'll see today at E3......**Gamers Live and Die...and Live Again**

2 - nope
it will not help the 360 in japan cause the Japanese wont buy sh*tty hardware. it comes out on the ps3 in japan first therefor it will still move systems for ps3, simple as that. MS are amatures i hate to say, that dont know what the hell their doing.
the 360 didnt really do what they had to. they said they had something game changing and will shock and aw. the only thing shocking was FF13. and the only thing that i awww'd about is that they still didnt fix the rrod. so FF13 was their last resort to impress cause nothing else did. maybe the gameshows but thats nothing extreme.
is the ps3 dead in the water? why cause we lost one game? are you stupid?
cant wait for sony's E3!

it will sell well for the ps3.
it will sell some on the 360 but not as much.

The truthful answer is no, but losing Final Fantasy XIII to Microsoft is definitely a big blow to Sony. They better have a few tricks up their sleeve tomorrow though at their E3 Press Conference, or Microsoft and Nintendo will be the clear pacemakers the rest of this console gen.

12 - Well....
It is a blow in some respect but the fact of the matter is RPG's are probably the types of games that the majority of gamers play the least. There mostly for an older crowd that enjoy the length of time playing and enjoy the story brings. I'm not a huge RPG fan to tell you the truth so I wouldn't be getting this anyway, but it is a blow to some respect. But seriously, why would you buy it for the 360, when its a game made clearly for the PS brand. We know all of Japan will buy it, Europe will mostly buy it on the PS3 and if I was a fan of the series and had both consoles I would definitely buy it for the PS3. No disc swapping and it would just feel right on the console it was meant to be played on. It will clearly sell more on the PS3.

Now this is just exaggeration. It's not like the PS3 isn't getting it anymore. So why are people sayin the PS3 lost FF13, it's still coming and more importantly. The Xbox360 wont be gettin a Japanese version only an english version. Now you tell me how can the PS3 be dead in the water when Japanese PS3 owner will be playin it months before the rest of the world and even when it's released in the western world it will be available on both consoles?
It's a big deal yes but please don't cheapen the announcement with exaggerations.
