Its good for 360 only console people and its good for SE. 360 lost Infinite Undiscovery as an exclusive as well...and there are talks that Star Ocean 4 are going multiplatform so you can see why SE is changing everything.

If it didn't, then the one with better graphics would be the one that sold the most ! Now if Square would have just kept it on PS3 and made it for PS3, then we would be getting a great game instead of what will most likely be a good game that could have been alot better.

Unless, there is some longstanding franchise that Sony can put exclusively on their hat, then they will taking it up the butt from M$ for some time.

This will only be a big blow if Sony doesn't have any BIG announcements tomorrow. Don't expect Sony to just sit around thinking...Hmmm, what can we do ?? We're doomed !! I'm sure they will have bigger announcements to make than just one title, besides, it didn't go exclusive to xbox, just multiplatform. I believe FFXIII versus is still exclusive anyways. I for one am not worried about Sony, they always pull through.

MS has just shown that they can play hardball. And this is a hard hit. Now all they have to do is put a Bluray player in their machine and Sony could be hurt huge. Microsoft is now the machine that has all of the shooters out there and all of the RPG's. Developers are going to stick with the 360 because that is going to be the big machine out there. Where are the RPG's for Sony? It used to be their strength. Now it's a weakness. I can play FF13 on less expensive 360 hardware. Why sit on the next gen console decision. Sony is in tough. They need a major announcement and the only major announcement they can make is a huge price reduction. It was inevitable. MS has just shown that they can play hardball. And this is a hard hit.

I don't think Sony is unwilling to pay devs to be exclusive, I just think that ultimately Microsoft is willing to pay more and wid a bidding match. Also, a dev probably requires more money to stay exclusive than to break exclusivity. Sony has to out-innovate to compete. Sony will have a hard time topping this, but it's possible. They have to show something big beyond the expected. Square said they aren't even doing the 360 work until after the PS3 version is completed. So hopefully, that means FF13 won't be dumbed down.

While it's news to us, you can bet you life that Sony already knew about FF going to the 360. To me personally, it's no big deal, since I can't stand RPGs - but it COULD hurt Sony in Japan. Microsoft's abysmal failure to crack the Japanese market, and the Japanes gamers love for RPGs, is the obvious reason why MS have been buying up every RPG in sight lately. I know Sony said a while back that they don't feel they need to pay for exclusives, but I think it's time that they reconsidered that position. At the moment, there's nothing really to stop MS buying up practically every new title for Xbox exclusivity. I'd at least like to see Sony snap up the quality independent devs that are currently Sony-exclusive, just to make sure that MS don't get their claws into them in the future.
