I dont think it will, FF isnt just any other JRPG its the biggest and most popular around. Some current 360 owners might not want it but PS2 owners who are looking for the cheapest way to the play the game will get a 360 to play FFXIII.
Also while diehard FF fans my be thinking they want FFvsXIII as well a lot will still go for the 360 cause for one, if ffxiii came over whats stopping ffvsxiii and by the time ffvsxiii is released the ps3 would have drop in price again so why not jus...
In the US 360>PS3
In the UK 360>PS3
Rest of EU PS3>360
Japan PS3 only
Overall the PS3 will come out on top only because of Japan, but if you remove japan because of the exclusivity the 360 version may outsell the PS3 version but it will be close. There will be a lot of JRPG fans on the 360 cause of games like LO, SO4,BD while that arent many JRPG fans on the PS3 side cause there just arent many JRPGs
Kinda surprised by the 360 specially when no big games have just come out unlike other consoles. Just goes to show that the games on the 360 are so great, additive and replayable, gamers just cant stop playing it.
Damn the gap between the PS3 and 360 is massive 0.o
He's probably right cause MS will consider Natal as their next console so you wont see xbox 720 for a long time. Sony wont push their motion tech like a new platform so they will need to make a whole new console.
@ deafphat
Heavy Rain is the only one sure to come out in 2010 everything else is doubtful, plus its pretty had to even classify it as a game anyway.
@ Troll_Police
Well this article is talking about the future, why dont you go play one off the multiple AAA games already released.
@ SevWolf
Saying PS3 is best is making this article relate to the 360
Nope not a chance, after GOW3 and GT5 there isnt much else to look forward too. The 360 on the other hand got SC:C, Halo: Reach, Gears 3, Crackdown 2,Mass Effect 2, Alan Wake,Natal and of course all the surprises we dont know about.
I dont see why it hasnt already been done yet. They made multiple Tomb Raider movies and that game is nowhere near as popular as Halo, not to mention it wouldnt be too hard to come up with a storyline.
The only problem I could see would be maybe the cost of all the CGI which would need to be done, but im certain it would pay off especially if they leave the marketing to MS.
Well the fact that there are people who have had 360 which have yet to break proves that the console isnt destined to break. The reason some peoples 360 continuously break is probably due to the environment they are kept in rather the the console.
But since its free to get fixed I dont see why anyone complains.
Edit: @ stewgart
Im not spinning Im just stating the true meaning behind the article :)
I think the 360 is the only console people are actually willing to go through the trouble to get it repaired multiple times, its just that good
Wow this will end in bloodshed.
PS3 fans always say "you play sales we play games", but it seems like the 360 can play games AND sales. The best of both worlds :)
Its funny, it seems like the only ones complaining are the ones who dont pay it
Something is definitely going down, there is no way they would all be out of stock at the same time
It will come with the launch of Natal, MS dont need to resort to a console redesign to spur sales just yet
True but I preodered ODST for just £26 so thats why i dont see why people just dont get it instead, but Halo 3 is one of those games that if you have the console you really should at least rent it.
On another note, just looked at the chart and even Halo Wars is still selling well, thats even more surprising than Halo 3. MS must be crying now they cant make a sequel since they let Ensemble go.
Why people are still buying halo 3 when ODST will have the same multiplayer but with all the maps and an added mode.
Didnt think Asia was so interested in video games, apart from Japan of course.
Why would Activison lower their PS3 predictions when they know a pricecut is coming, obviously they havnt visited N4G lately.
This still seems pretty odd to me though, since I dont understand why MS would leave out the middle model they really should change the name Elite, plus what if you want a white 360 with a HDD.
If MS is phasing out the Pro 360 they will probably have to cut its price as well to get rid of the remaining stock.
Seems like MS is trying Sony's tactic of changing SKU to give the illusion of a price cut.
They made $1billion in a single quarter and still they want more, they are trying too hard to become the new EA
Sorry ultimolu but thats a poor comparison the Tales is no where near as well known as the FF series. Thats like saying Motorstorm 2 sold poorly so GT5 will as well, its just stupid.
Edit: And PS3 JRPGs sell even worst than the 360 ones so whats your point?
@ raztad
"FFXIII always have been associated with PS brand." What like GTA, RE, DMC and the list goes on. Times have changes and brand loyalties have switched.
