The big reason is that it won't be released in Japan.

and Sega Saturn: All of the games you mentioned are RPGS. So no shin genius they're all long.

sorry mate...your points don't make sense

"1.Spin-Off’s and DLC.
I should point out that DLC doesn't really work for a linear story driven RPG."
WHAT!!!???
then why were 360 fanboys braging about DLC for GTAIV???

"2.Blu-Ray
Not needed for gaming as Mass Effect, Fable 2, Oblivion, Fallout 3 etc have proved. These games are bigger than any playstation 'exclusive' available now."

DO YOU EVEN KNOW HOW MANY CGS THIS GAME HAS?!?!?!?!
I mean I'd love to watch High Quality videos with Uncompressed sound
but DVD is done with that.. there's just not enough space
and if it weren't needed tell me why Rockstar complained about DVD, and why the S-E guy said that there might be differences in content because of Blu-Ray..

and now that MS has allowed HDD instalation the game might even come with DVD's that you would hardly use because of the install

"5.Final Fantasy WON’T be released on the xBox 360 in Japan.
So what? Even if released it would do nothing for the 360. There is a reason the 360 doesn't sell and it has nothing to do with hardware or software."

DUDE that was his exact point =D

GTA IV is a much larger game and didn't do it, so this game will not change a thing. Especially because Killzone 2, Resistance 2, and God of War 3 will have been out by then. Oh yeah and Infamous.

- If by bigger you mean tons of repeating textures than a Ps2 title Persona 3 FES is 3X bigger than any of those games you listed. Infinite levels. Keeping toking whatever you've got there...

Always has and always will. Japan is the land of FF and they will have at least a few months if not a year (not calendar year but 2009-2010) to go ga-ga all over this game.

"FFXI was like 4 years old already when it released on 360, not to mention it isnt all that widely popular of a game to begin with...and i played 2 years on the PS2 and like a year on the 360, it was a terrible port, the game ran better on PS2.."

Wait it runs better on the PS2 than the 360? That must mean that the PS2 is more powerful than the 360!!!

Yep yep. exactly what 360 fanbois say about sucky PS3 ports.

you should learn to read, he was talking about the games sizes and how they all fit on a DVD, so bluray is not needed cause they are just as long to longer then any PS3 exclusives. he was not talking about quality...and judging by your picture, i could go on all day about killzone 1 if ya try to bash fable or mass effect (which im guessing you havent played)....i think you have reached a new level...

you should be posting in the open zone.

Fable 2 is an Action RPG, you are comparing that to EVERY genre on the PS3's exclusive library?

MGS4 better than Mass Effect? you can argue that all you want, but they are both quite different games.

jmare - 527 days ago

Actually, Sega Saturn needs to pull his head out of his ass. He is comparing game time to file size. MGS4 is one of the largest games ever made in file size. There is a huge difference between game time and file size.

The difference between compressed audio is amazing. Go put on MGS4 or Bad company and then put on a game with crappy sound compression and you can tell the difference (Obviously im not talking about speakers on your TV)

Sony owns 8.5% of stock in S.E. there like 4th on the list of share holders. Sooo there not the biggest but they are kinda up there. But it really doesnt matter because since S.E. said they are going Muti. there stock jump up. So either way sony is making money from xbox sales in the U.S. and Europe. and then there own sales in the U.S. Europe and Japan.

Don't be so defensive. I never said anything was wrong with it. I said that the PS3 fan base keeps jumping to its defense as though there was.

If you were looking to buy a car which say, had a built in iPod interface, and you mentioned to the sales person that another brand of car also had that interface, and the salesperson started saying, "There's nothing wrong with this car. That car isn't going to kill this car! That car is a pile of crap!". Wouldn't you get a little suspicious?

I know I would.

That the JRPG fans didn't forsee the PS3 having a small RPG lineup when they made a PS3 purchase.

It's disturbing that the one 3rd party rpg game that stood out the most suddenly isn't exclusive. This is fairly harsh considering a large percentage of the RPGS released seem to be exclusively on the 360.

Jack said himself. "We have a plan for PS3." He then pointed out that in that plan only one exclusive party RPG was planned.

With so few of these rpgs on the PS3 its hard not to feel alienated by the console Especially, when one of the most popular RPG titles isn't exclusive anymore.

It's like a line full of starving people waiting for a sandwich and an apple. Suddenly a another line emerges with healthy people holding trays with six or more courses to get a sandwich and apple as well.

Kinda makes the starving people feel a little jealous, don't ya think? The small portion suddenly seems that much smaller now that the others are also getting it included with their multi-course meal.

As for it not killing the PS3 it seems about right. It won't kill it but, imho it'll cost Sony a few console sales. A lot of people anticipated buying a PS3 specifically for this game. Now they can just skip buying a PS3 if they have a PC or 360 already.

This second part more less causes people who are fans to feel betrayed by SE. To them SE doing this has robbed the PS3 of console sales figures that could've been used to secure new IP franchises in the console wars.

I think he misinterpreted console sales with the ego that who won E3 with the biggest surprise.

Everyone was saying that announcement all but killed anything sony had to offer.

Like it stole attention from Sony. I think it did. Of E3 that single announcement had the most shock and awe effect.

Did it kill PS3? No.

Did it get the most press and attention to the 360 show? IMHO yes it did.

What always happens when people are shocked and surprised like this? Someone starts yelling end of the world doomsday propaganda or end game prophecies. This is probably what this article is in response to. All the doomsday comments about this announcement killing the PS3's future sales.

It's a cheap way to steal attention by pushing the hot buttons of people who are emotionaly attached to the subject material.

I bet Sony and Square are in cahoots. It's obvious the 360 version will be lacking with multiple discs, and 360 consoles dieing from overheating. It's almost a joke that 13 is coming for the 360, dvd9 and overheating means an increase in discs and an increase in RRoDs. A new wave of destroyed 60's for M$ to "fix."

By summer the 360 will have the smallest installed base with the least amount of good future IP's.

How can a FFXIII announcement for 2010 reverse a nearly 2,000,000 console lead since the beginning of the year? The only negative thing about the announcement is people like yourself dragging it on for months.

But oh well, numbers speak for themselves. I wonder where this guy will be next spring when the PS3 passes the 360 WW? Probably still here arguing how FFXIII being multiplatform will kill the PS3 LOL.

360 only has a 2mil lead over ps3. care to provide a link to back up your claim. and the word from SE themselves is that FF13 will be released for the ps3 and 360 at the same time in EU and NA. so where are you getting 2010 released from. hey if it makes you feel good to tell lies. then by all means lie to yourself.

Well damn...the only people doing the most crying here are the bots.

Don't you idiots see that Square gave Microsoft the short end of the stick?

The 360 may have FFXIII but it won't be sold on the 360 in Japan. How many 360 fanatics are going to pick up FFXIII? A few might pick it up because they grew up with the series but the rest of the fanatics want hardcore shooters.

I'm done "crying" over the whole thing because I know for a fact the 360 won't last until 2010.

Lol, and I agree Jandre. I read what you said I think it makes perfect sense. Bots don't read well these days...you'll have to excuse them. o-o

Jandre02 - 526 days 23 hours ago

I said REVERSE. As in the PS3 has outsold the 360 by nearly 2,000,000 consoles since the beginning of the year...

And.

FFXIII, an incomplete game WILL BE RELEASED IN JAPAN FIRST! THEN PORTED TO THE 360! THEN RELEASED IN NA AND EU ON BOTH PS3 AND 360.

Localization is usually a 6 month process. Porting a game that probably won't be done until next year, the game most likely won't hit EU and NA until 2010.

Man I don't insult people personally on this site very often, but you are kinda stupid lol. How does someone misread an entire post? Lets sum it up one more time, just so you don't make a fool of yourself again.

1. Since December 31, 2007 the PS3 has outsold the 360 by around 1.6 million consoles.

2. A port of a game that won't be finished until next year(especially a game like Final Fantasy) will most likely not come out until 2010. Understand? Good.

it's not that i got it wrong. it's that you worded what you really was trying to say wrong. so it made you the stupid one. not me. and i copied it so you can read your own post. idiot.

again if SE said that both games will be released at the same time in EU and NA. if the 360 version will be delayed. wouldn't the ps3 version also be delayed. since they will be RELEASED AT THE SAME TIME.

NOT IN JAPAN YOU DUMBA$$! haha holy sh!t. The PS3 version in Japan will release BEFORE the 360 version even starts.

YES THE PS3 VERSION IN NA AND EU ARE DELAYED B/C OF THE 360. HOW ELSE CAN I WORD THAT?

What the f*ck are you retarded or something. Where in my entire post did I say that the PS3 version will release before the 360 version in NA and EU. BOTH GAMES WILL COME OUT IN 2010 IN NA and EU

pp is just trying to make himself feel better watching his 360 die.
1. Sony owns the rights to FF7.
2. Square sees the world sales, and knows the 360 is quickly approaching the lowest installed base.
3. Why would we get a 360. Everything we have seen proves that since neither the 360 nor the PS3 has a huge installed base, but both systems cost ridiculous amounts to produce games for, every third party game will eventually hit both consoles to maximize profits (INCLUDING Mass Effect, and most likely a toned down version of MGS4.)

Sony or Microsoft will have to fund third parties themselves, OR, have huge first party games to keep the games themselves. This is why Sony wins. Microsoft lost their whole first party, except for Rare? Lol.
