should this thread still be stickied?
Nah, it shouldn't be closed. This thread is now about the PS3 exclusivity, rather than the lack thereof.
On a side note, please don't double post Hyperion4444! It would be greatly appreciated.
If XIII stays exclusive to PS3, then square is going to lose a few bucks, unless Sony does something that makes PS3 worth the buy, oh and about that $100 price drop on the 60GB, get out there and buy one while you can, because Sony is discontinuing that one soon too.
E3: No more 60GB PlayStation 3 in US after July, says Reeves // GamesIndustry.biz
Oh well, doesn't really worry me as I've yet to play XII.
I doubt they'd lose money. FF is one of those series that does sell consoles. A lot of people are holding out on buying one specifically because game like MGS4 and FFXIII aren't out yet. Odds are many of the current owners are also planning on buying the game anyway. Long story short, I don't think Square will have trouble turning a profit.
MAYBE, just maybe. A new version of the PSP will come out which can support the game? I really don't think they'll put it for the xbox 360..
Screw it, I'm still getting me self a ps3. Just gotta waitfor the price to drop a crackload.

PC hardware can't support massif Blue Ray storage games, and can't play any of PS3 exclusifs games.
(even if you go with 5 DVDs)...
Just Killzone 2 takes 2GB per stage.
2GB!!!!
That's like almost half a DVD/stage!!
Considering this is Final Fantasy (XIII FNC's 20 years in the making no less), I'm thinking it may not only be double layer, but 2 disk. (Think about it.)
You really think they were just going to plave it on 5DVDs (not CDs, DVDs.)
There's no prof that PC/PC games are using DVDs, (Even My DMC3 SP on PC is on 5 CD instead of one DVD. 'I own PS2 version too')
So Imagine if they were to put it of CDs!
25+CDs!! And since it's most likely to be fragments, the only way to play it would be direct and complete install directly on your PC.
Pros?: No loading time.
Cons?: You loose a whooping 50GB of your PC! No Guaranty it would work with older PCs. (Even dual cores could struggle here, mine has some hard time just to play the trailer in progressif scan. Not to mention sometimes my sound lacks somewhat sometime, or could just be bad download.)
Oh, and also, PCs and HD?! Just HD alone is a great fortune, imagine PC only TV HD... Seperate to what you have in your living room, if you have one.(I don't)
So, yeah, this great a game is hard to built and takes sometime.
