Squenix have been telling us, for three years, that FFXIII is a PS3 exclusive, and that they have no plans at all to bring FF to the 360. This is a slop in the face to every PS3 owner who's been waiting patiently, for three years, for FFXIII, and would wait patiently for another five... well, they would have done.
You don't understand why people are ranting and raving?! Every single game that is multiplatform pperforms worse on the PS3. It's a fact. Even games which are developed on the PS3 seem to do worse than on the 360. PS3 owners have just gone from having the best exclusive of the lot, to having a multiplatform game that will suffer because of it. Not only will there now be delays to get the 360 version working, but Squenix will have to make both games equal, else what's the point in releasing it on two consoles?
From the view of an unbiased outsider, it's also bad for the industry. The dwindling number of third party exclusives is diluting the offerings from all consoles. The reason we buy a console is because of the gaming experience it offers. Fat lot of good that is if every damn console offers the same games.
I'm pissed off. No, I'm fucking livid. I've lost all respect I had for Squenix with this announcement. Bad things can only come of it.
