The news is out. Final Fantasy XIII is no longer a Playstation exclusive. That's what Sony gets for sucking so hard.

 

Has that stepped out of rumour-territory yet? The 'XIII series' I know is not exclusive, but I gather that only refers to the spin-off games for DS, phones and possibly the 360- is 'Final Fantasy XIII' itself now officially getting a 360 release?

 

That will be a blow to Sony however they cut it.

Sony still got their TVs working right, and that's all that matters.

 

They got some pretty damn nice TVs.

wasn't XI also released as a set for the 360?

 

Not that exclusive.

I don't even think the loss of the exclusive for Final Fantasy was a big blow to Sony. By far, the biggest blow was the loss of the Grand Theft Auto Series.

 

I could picture all the kids pleading with their mommies and daddies to purchase the system so they can buy the game. :)

It would really depend. Sony is kind of falling on hard times as of late.

If Sony would just stop wasting their time with all these pointless firmware releases and paying these programmers 24/7 to battle these crackers -- they may have gotten somewhere by now. They should just be happy the PS2 is on a respirator since the PS3 has already died.

I sold all but one of my PS3's. I made a lot of money back for a crappy system =/

And yes they would.

 

That and the fact the porn industry has gone with HD DVD. They lost a lot of money there.

Agreed. Take the PSP for instance- there is so much potential for the little beast, but instead the constant stream of updates is geared toward ultimately unsuccessful security fixes. Who cares? It is the tiniest majority that take advantage of exploits anyway, and even then they do not necessarily stop buying games because of it.

 

Why not spend the time making the machine a more attractive proposition to potential buyers? Anyway they have taken it easy with the PSP so far, but its about now that they really have to step their game up. Now's also a good time to hype up all that PSP-PS3 connectivity of which nothing has come so far.

I don't think Blu-Ray is faring as bad as people like to think. JB Hi Fi, which is probably the biggest DVD retail shifter in Australia is backing it exclusively and not stocking HDDVD at all. Not that it matters to the rest of the world, but the format is certainly far from dead.

 

And I don't think the porn industry is a major concern for Sony. They actively opposed the early adoption of the UMD as the porn media of choice in Japan.
