Could you cite sources? I thought it were still 'unconfirmed' rumors 'till now.

That would be so unlike Square-Enix. o_o

I call it false! >__<

Edit: http://www.twistedpolygon.net/news/console/final-fantasy-xiii-and -dragon-quest-ix-for-ps3-and-xbox-360-announced..html

Told you, false! Though there's still a 'possibility', I give you that. But I think they just want the xbox fans to keep on dreamin'~

Aw fawk, there goes my reason for buying a PS3. I enjoyed the exclusivity. >__<

Now PS3's game offering has just gone down a whole lot.

I'm still getting the PS3 version. I currently have neither a PS3 nor an Xbox360 and in the past I've always been happy with Sony's systems. I also have an irrational hared of Microsoft.

;o; T-This can't be. And this CAN'T be good for Sony. Dammit, I have too much pride to buy a Xbox, and my reasons for buying a PS3 are now sinking too. Man, this sucks major monkeyballs...

Based on the game library, the 360 in every way beats the PS3 at the moment. As far as I see, Metal Gear Solid 4 and FFXIII was its saving grace... FFXIII being on the 360 is a huge blow to the PS3 in my opinion. If FF goes 360, I have very little reason to buy such an overpriced system...

i was quite pissed, i still am. this announcement ruined my whole day, i mean i own all 3 consoles but i was really standing by sony and cheering them on the whole time. they really didnt give a shyt about its fans and let microsoft pay their way in on square enix. now square enix is giving 2 potential japanese rpgs to the 360 star ocean 4 and that other game i cant even reemember,

Well damn! Gears of War had better come out for PS3 then!!!

My first reaction was: another fake rumor.
My second reaction was: W.T.F. Did Square-enix lose their minds?
My third reaction is: Oooookay...

They did this most likely to broaden their range of customers, but seeing as Xbox seems to have the upper hand right now, this was a very bad move for PS3. Plus they broke the PS tradition, which makes me a bit sad, but eh.

Too lazy to say more, as I don't really care, as long as I get to play it.

It's a smart move really. They'll reach more American fans by putting it on Microsoft's console, and as long as they still release it on PS3 they haven't forsaken the native Japanese fans.

Believe me that Sony had no say in this matter. It was clearly a financial decision between Microsoft and SquareEnix. Damn you Microsoft and your evil plan to take over the world...

As for the "PS tradition" you speak of, as the series started on Nintendo systems, the change isn't really unprecedented. I for one remember hating the fact that I had to go and buy a Playstation to play FFVII.

truthfully i dont see why so many people seem to be upset by this its not like you cant still get it on the ps. and if you look at the screen on http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3168704 it says north america and europe so might not even be released in japan for 360. and maybe to placate the ps fanatics there will be exclusive content for them

because most people pick a game console based on the game exclusives. also if they have to make it for the 360, theyll have to dumb down the game because of the 360s lack of blu-ray play and slower processor

as walro said, its good for the final fantasy name. lots more people will get exposure to it with this and itll be bringing ff to a whole new generation.
as for the whole game library/exclusivity thing...i dont feel that this is THAT big a hit...xbox will still be known for its shooters and ps3 will still be known for strat and rpgs (wii for parties too but anyways...) the only difference is that a good (hopefully) rpg will be spread to the 360. and lets face it, xbox needs something to save it from being a single genre system...
im hoping this trend of porting promising games to different systems catches on cuz i would love to see star ocean 4 on ps3

they're just jumping ship like they did from nintendo back in the day

im confused tho, is it gonna be xbox360 exclusive or released on both stateside?
regardless the wii gets screwed over again
