MSFT, you make me laugh again and again.
Here we go again. Exclusive to XBLA... oh, and PC.
A quick look at the sales of FFXII (twelve, you know, the offline MMORPG) shows something interesting.
The game sold the most copies in Japan.
Less in the US.
Less than half the Japanese number in Europe.
We are talking about 6 to 7 million copies sold all together here (if somebody got the real lifetime sales, please share them with me).
Am I pissed that Sony dropped the ball on this one? You bet your ass I am. Final Fantasy is a prestige title. I'...
Not as long as Kojima has something to say on that matter, I suppose.
"if the reviews are great, "
People like you are the reason games that do something new and different are doomed to fail due to abysmal sales.
But hey, what am I awaiting? A fanboy thinking for himself? You keep your eyes on metascores (read: your e-penis), I enjoy the games.
You don't honestly believe they can port the game and localize it for the US and Europe for the 360 IN THE SAME TIME they can just do the localization for the PS3 version?
WRONG. The game will not be ported from PS3 to 360. It will be ported from the PC to the 360 - just like the PS3 version. As the SE guys stated, they create the game on the PC and, thanks to the White Engine, then port it from there to the consoles. EVERYTHING we saw yet was entirely made on PC and ran on PC.
PS3 exclusive in Japan.
Timed PS3 exclusive in US and Europe.
As far as I understood them, that is.
Too bad you fail so hard at the language your ancestors agreed on using in your country, which you get taught from the second you were born.
See, it's my second language and I'd go out on a limb and say my marks in english are way better than yours. You could at least try, you know?
Comprehensive reading - are you capable of it? Read the what the SE guys said at the conference.
They make the game for the PS3 now.
They release it in Japan.
They start localization for the US and Europe. <- At this time, they will start WORKING ON THE 360 VERSION
They DON'T churn out both at the same time, i.e. sacrifice quality.
Haha, bubble for you. Didn't laugh so hard in some time.
Thanks for getting my mood back from the cellar. I hope they squeeze every last drop out of the PS3.
TOO BAD AMERICAN DONT SPELL GOOD
Dude, learn some grammar. It's not that hard.
Yeah, like they should.
LOL
So first they copy the Miis, then you have to pay for them? Nice.
Thank god, they won't gimp it because they have to churn out both versions at once. Now all they have to do is research how they can make the 360 version as good as the (then) original.
I hereby invite you to go and tell that to the few million Core owners.
If SE doesn't announce a FFVII remake (exclusive... I hope) or KH3, Sony just got raped. Big time.
Okay, I sh't my pants. FFXIII multiplat.
Now, I'm not angry because people with a 360 can play it. I am angry, because Sony f'cks up big time. Seriously, how important was that one game? How many people said they will buy a PS3 because of this?
If they don't announce something big (and I mean BIGGER than what just happened, IF THAT IS POSSIBLE), they are screwed.
To all the 360 owners: Welcome to the game, I hope we can all enjoy it, not as PS3 owners, not as 360 owne...
Sony is now officially the most stupid of the Big Three.
Now excuse me while I go search for my jaw.
Counter-counter points :P Besides, bubble for you since you actually state things and not just flame like some other individuals here.
The PS3 drive reads at a constant speed, that is slower than the 360's on the outside of the disc, but faster on the inside. If you don't believe me, go read the Wikipedia articles on both drive types. So, both have good and bad points there.
I didn't exactly mean the production of a DVD, sorry I didn't go into detail there. For PS3, ...
