They're just saying that to get as many sales for the 360 version, so that people see a need to buy a 360. The Ps3 version will be released later.

Edit: I saw so many negative comments I had to point something out... If MS wasn't in the games industry, most of their games (or games only on 360 and PC smart @ss) would be games only on Ps3! The worst part is... The fanboys would love them and claim they were the greatest thing in the world! But because they are on a console they don't like (HATE), they view the games as garbage.

Sad indeed!

Need proof? Alot of gamers didn't know alot about WKC before it was released, yet they said it would be the greatest RPG for a long time... just cause they were pissed about the FFXIII announcement! Even though they were saying the same thing about FFXIII before it was multiplat.

A fanboys logic will never make sense to me!

Heres hoping it rocks and it sells tho it might just stay 360 exclusive depending on the contract they signed.

Unless Microsoft bought this game it still might. Bioshock was repeatedly denied to be coming to the PS3 and we all know how that turned out. If it doesn't oh well.

Sqeenix stated earlier they wanted to expand in the west, with the crap they have released so far and the dire sales figures in both Japan and the western world I can sure you these games will come out on the PS3. JRPG are games only liked by a few people in the west, and the turn based attack systems dont sell well here. Squeenix went fo the money and they will lose their fans!!!

Are you serious? i favor the ps3 more than the 360 and i've got to admit that the game looks spectacular.....maybe we weren't looking at the same game?

if you liked so3 (willing to bet you havent played it) then i think you'd love this game. to be honest, star ocean 3 got me into the star ocean series.....seeing this only gets me more excited to see this game come to next gen consoles....

and im willing to bet money that so4 will be coming to ps3.....maybe not this year but its highly likely to come eventually....

Yes they did score well but they didn't sell well. Blue Dragon for instance has sold less than WKC and that has been out two weeks.

It is sad the SE have to use MS money as a buffer for poor sales but I am surprised they didn't release it on the PS3 in Japan even to make a natural profit not free money profit.

It is funny also 360 fanboys are comparing sales to score. It was yesterday one of them stated that it is not the review scores that matter but how well it sells. La Chance must have not ha got the memo.

Star Ocean: The Last Hope Will Stay on the 360 = Sad day for RPG fans.

Namco Bandai also insisted that there were "no plans" for a PS3 version of Eternal Sonata. Well now, here I am playing it on my PS3 and loving every minute of it. Star Ocean 4 will almost certainly see a PS3 release sometime down the road as other "360 exclusive" RPGs did. I'm looking at you Enchanted Arms.

Sprud - 356 days 14 hours ago

That's because "no plans" can mean two things:
1. They actually have no plans.
2. They have plans but can't say it, due to a (timed exclusive) contract.

The lack of an exclusive sticker on the box is a pretty good indicator of what it means this time. He even says "...though you never know if plans will change down the line." as if we should expect a "change" in plans :)

Agree(1) | Disagree(0) | Report

SaiyanFury - 356 days 11 hours ago

That's exactly it, "you never know if plans will change down the line". Considering that SO4 is a Japanese RPG, it's kind if suicidal to release a game like it only on the 360 which has less than 50% of the HD console sales in Japan. The PS3 is well over 2 million and the 360 is something like 800,000. The Japanese HD fanbase obviously favour the PS3 over the 360 even though the 360 has the JRPG edge. That said, S-E seems to favour the 360 in terms of western sales, but considering the bulk of their sales in JRPG games comes from Japan, it's not exactly logical to keep a JRPG like SO4, where the core fanbase is Japanese, exclusive to the 360. They made FFXIII available on the 360 in the western territories so a release of SO4 on the PS3 isn't so unthinkable.

This article on N4G shows what I'm talking about.

http://n4g.com/gaming/News-...

The PS3 sells about 3 times the amount of consoles as the 360 based simply on adoption rate. JRPG developers would be committing suicide to deny a PS3 version of their games.

Money bought this 'exclusive', and money also bought the PR denial. I expect to see SO4 on PS3 soon.

FFXIII on the 360 is only in US, not becuase Sony paid for it, but becuase there was a contractual agreements. No doubt there were loopholes, but I think Versus is reasonably safe. And if not it will be exclsuive in japan, where it matters.

This game WILL come to the PS3.

seriously, to hate squaresoft for wanting to make more money, cmon, be like hating MS for making the 360, hating sony for making the playstation, etc etc, i have no problems with multiplat games, but when their timed exclusive to a console its f'in annoying.. This is why i hate MS, peope claim sony did the same thing, they didn't, they paid for exclusives, nothing was ever timed, none that i was aware of anyways... funny thou, ps3 users wait for timed exclusive games, yet FF13 for ps3, which we know is done, we have to wait for while the 360 version is made...

If you think about this logically, it really doesn't make sense.

Japan is the main market for this genre/game, and that is also the place where PS3 is the dominant console. Even if every single Xbox owner in Japan buys it, that's still only 800K copies.

That just doesn't make sense. There missing out on a lot of money by making it a 360 exclusive. But whatever. If SEs latest record for JRPGs are anything to go by, I won't be buying this.

If I'm not mistaken I believe Square said that it's a good thing Final Fantasy 13 is going mulitplat, because people who only own a 360 won't have to go out and buy a PS3 just to play the game.

So why is that gamers have to go out and buy a Xbox 360 if they don't have one to play Star Ocean. I for one don't mind games going multiplat, but when you state something like they said above they should apply it to every game and not just one.

It's clear Microsoft has been throwing money in Square's direction, or else this wouldn't be happening. Even after a slew of exclusives JRPS's being released in Japan for the Xbox 360 it's has not managed to make a scratch in the territory. Yet Square keeps on throwing RPG's there way. Come on people Square's not sitting there saying "Wow that 360 sure is bring in a lot of profit for us let's make more exclusives for it."

I have no clue what Square is thinking. It's obvious that after your first couple of games tanking that the 360 is not where your audience is, so either make the games multiplat with the PS3 or make them exclusively for the Wii since most of Japan owns a Wii already. It's clear what Microsoft is trying to do. Yes they want to make an impact in Japan, but if the can't they don't want the PS3 to be able to do it either which is why their buying up as many JRPG's as they can.

Stop being MS prostitutes Square and open up to all of us.

"No Plans" = Either they are waiting to see if it sells enough, if it does then stays 360 exclusive, if it doesn't goes multiplatform OR MS has a exclusivity contract for a few months (like Bioshock).
