Ok I don't about you but I'm pretty sure if they're going to support Xbox360 and not PS3 I would think SE was expecting alot better results with their support for Xbox360 especially with Star Ocean IV, a Series with quite the fanbase yet it didn't sell well in Japan or worldwide.
Then SE decided to finally release a game on the PS3, and guess what, it sold more than all SE's Xbox360 titles combined on its first week in japan. Hell, Tales of Vesperia sold more on the PS3 than it d...
I mean come on, Infinte Undiscovery wasn't even good and it didn't sell well along with The Last Remenant having framerate/load times problems. All three titles didn't sell what was expected not even close considering that Xbox360 had a bigger install base nor did any of them had a good story.
Now, they're trying to make a u-turn by bringing more titles such as Star Ocean IV, Nier, Front Mission,FFXIV, and FFXIII Versus to the PS3. But of course, it doesn't make up for the low qu...
I think Sega would rather put the game out there as soon as they can rather than delay it just to release it later in 2010 like Capcom to maximize the potential sales.
People will buy it because its one of the most requested games from Sega. Plus they probably understand that the sales wont be great from the start as they know from looking from how much Yakuza 1&2 and Valkyria Chronicles have sold that it will sell overtime.
I don't see why its a problem for th...
Killzone 2 was awesome, wasn't expect much really, but I can understand Kotaku's Luke Plunkett opinion. But to counter his argument that this game is
"parts forgettable and offensive, poor characters propelling you through a dreary wasteland of a game, populated solely by clichés and a world so depressing you wish Rainbow Brite would pop in and make a cameo."
This game wasn't intended to create some epic hero like master chief or Nathan Drake nor was i...
PS3 owners get the superior Final Fantasy XIII.
1 blu ray, No or least compression, 1080i, 7.1 Surround Sound.
I think people do care if they're getting the best quality version rather than ultra compressed 3-4 disc set. This makes me wonder what was on SE's mind when porting the game to Xbox360 when they have to spend more on paying for multiple discs, along with fact that Xbox360 demographic is mostly interested in shooters, looks at MW2 sales and looks jrpg sales....
So far the rumored PS3 Exclusives in development list includes

BOOM!
Glad to hear that Final Fantasy XIII has sold over a million units excluding the bundles on day one. Looks like PS3 is set to dominate Japan.
I bet you Right now Square Enix is wondering why they didn't release Star Ocean IV or any game on PS3 earlier. SE, your in good hands now. Hopefully, next time they have more faith in the PS3 rather than just making games multiplatform. Now, what I'm really interested is how much it will sell on both consoles in both NA & EU...
@Darthv72
Actually, people in japan probably don't want to buy Final Fantasy XIII for many reasons.
For an example on Japan's largest public web-place, 2ch.net,
One user posts his homemade list of the reasons Final Fantasy XIII definitely won't sell a million copies:
-The TV commercial is boring; it has no impact
-FF12 sucked
-The staff are the team who made FF10-2
-Sakaguchi, Amano, and Uematsu, the three pillars of the Final
There is no doubt that PS3 will definitely have a great 2010.

SE says its a PS3 Exclusive in Japan.
That's pretty cool I guess, but It would be way more awesome if they offered Final Fantasy Dynamic Themes, like Retro FF gameplay with classic music in the background or FF13 in action.
Well,I Can't wait to hear the reception of the game when it releases tomorrow in Japan. Hopefully well see it doing DragonQuest IX sales # otherwise most Japanese Developers will continue to make RPGs for the DS rather than the PS3.
It seems that most of you are not actually reading the article.
He was describing how a wide variety of genres can utilize the PS3 wand where as he states that he thinks that areas such as Family games, shooters and sports are critical to being successful for motion controls.
"Those are going to be the areas that will really define success, because they're areas that quite honestly, I think Project Natal and the Wii are going to have trouble matching, from a dif...
Sony has already restructured some of their business and created a layout for 2010/2011 in order become more profitable, So Why should one care?
Sony dropped the price for the PS3 because of increasing pressure from many such as Bobby Kotick from Activision, and they reorganized the whole Playstation Department, resulting with a better marketing team. Sony is much more focus with selling more units which they showed during Black Friday, selling 6 different kind of PS3 bundles wit...
Well, its pretty obvious why many PS3 owners haven't picked it up yet. COD:MW2 was a juggernaut for all consoles.
Don't worry though, after Uncharted 2 wins GOTY awards from critics alike(Hopefully it gets GOTY especially in this years VGAs), PS3 owners will see how great this game must be, and will begin to slowly pick it up again! :D
Ratchet and Clank Future: A Crack in Time isn't meant to be system seller game where the moment it comes out it should be breaking records or at be in the NPD's top ten selling games.
No, Ratchet and Clank Future: A Crack in Time is a game that Insomniac has created for those that have long supported the series in which it will eventually sell over a million over time. The same thing happened to R&C Tools of Destruction as it started off with slow sales but had soon picked up...

Its good to hear them confirmed that they are indeed using a dual layered Bluray disc to fit all Uncompressed Video/Audio. Just in case if people didn't see it the last time on the JP box art.
Hopefully, they'll change their minds and include both Jp and Eng Dubs/Subtitles.
I mean if your going to use a Dual Layered Blu ray Disc (50gb) and you only have 25gb worth of content, you might as well put in optional Dubs&Subs along with the option of choosing the Jp ver...

I'm just gonna say this weeks flamebait title was pretty weak in comparison to his usual titles. Like
Insomniac PS3 Only Now A Thing Of The Past?
Sonys Ego Cost Them Their Own Halo
Xbox360 Metal Gear Rising Will Shine The Most
But i will say that the possibility of a Final Fantasy fighting game specifically a Dissidia game for the PS3 is very well possible due to the great reception Dissidia had in both Japan & the US.

While I respect the writer's opinion, I disagree with him.
Playing God of War 3 demo and looking at those latest screens, Surely you jest, because I was impressed with it all the way.
Hell, go play the God of War Collection and beat Gow 1&2 then play the Gow 3 demo and tell me your not impressed. You have to be blind to not be at least impressed by the amazing graphic overhaul of the game.
And the writer only played the E3 demo from last year.
