REJOICE! For Xbox360 will see FFXIII!

I know that Crystal Tools was designed for PS3, Xbox and Wii, because they didn't want to have to create or borrow an engine for each console. And, as one knows, the Wii is not (graphically-speaking) close to being as powerful as the Xbox or the PS3. From what I have read about it, they can turn on or off capabilities of the engine, dependant on what system it is playing.

So, they can still develop certain features that can only be run on the PS3, and then "turn it off" for the Xbox. Unfortunately, because they are porting it straight, they won't be able to use the Xbox's strengths. So, from what I have seen thus far, the Xbox will get an inferior version to the PS3.

I may be completely wrong, but if it does end up like this, then Sony's policy would be completely correct, as they'll be able to show that the PS3 is technically superior to the Xbox.

On a sidenote, is it true that Microsoft's gaming division is yet to turn a profit?

They seem to be doing just fine.

Yes. They turned a profit for the first and second times ever this year. Doesn't even come close to covering the money they've lost overall, though.

what xbox 360 strenght are you talking about?

the ps3 is simply perfect in everything, and much more...

Thus, the lone fan boy re-ignited the flames and may have brought life to a dying thread.


You never fail to entertain me, Hyperion.

It's just a simple question that I asked what makes the 360 better, and I've yet to receive an appropriate anwser.

[Flying Mullet]

Raebus, if you're only posting to incite Hyperion4444, then don't bother.

[Hyperion4444]

I am outraged by this !@ WHAT IN THE smurfING WORLD IS WADA THINKING! I'M GOING TO LOS ANGELES RIGHT NOW AND PUT A BULLET THROUGH HIS HEAD! I SAW THAT PRESS CONFERENCE TOO AND HOW COULD THEY DO THIS TO US!?
FIRST THEY SAY IT'S EXCLUSIVE TO THE PS3 AND NOW IT'S NOT. NOW IT'S GOING ON TO THE 360! IF THEY GET EXCLUSIVE CONTENT FOR THIS I'M BLOWING UP MICROSOFT HQ AND SE'S HQ. THIS IS JUST REPULSING. Come on now, why are so many now just have to jump on the microsoft train. Is everyone too money hungry or are they afraid of some competition now!? I think microsoft might be bribing some these people. I was having a good day until this WTF Square Enix WTF?

[Jessweeee♪]

Can't we just be happy that the game is available to more people than it was originally going to be? I might actually get a chance to play it now, depending on when it comes, so I am a happy gamer.

[DMKA]

I'm just worried it'll negatively affect the quality of the game. The PS3 and 360 are two very different machines, PS3 being the more capable of the two. I'm iffy on how much this is going to restrain what could of been otherwise.

[Jessweeee♪]

What's stopping them from making one better than the other?

No biggie.

[Dragonsoul]

Square Enix announced today that in March 2009 in Japan there will be a Blu-Ray release of Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete and it will come with a demo of Final Fantasy XIII and you will need a PS 3 to play it, so that means I will buy a Playstation 3 instead of a Xbox 360! Unless other news about a Xbox 360 demo is announced.

Depression Moon should calm himself and take a few deep breath.
All this negatif energy isn't good for him.


They've made 275 million in profits from the games but only 27 million in global profits?
How can this actually be possible?
What kind of electric bill are they paying, is it running on gas?

[Cloudane]

Ironically, after finally getting my wish, I may end up buying a PS3 after all. I can barely hear Lost Odyssey through the sheer OMG READY FOR TAKEOFF NOISE NOISE NOISE that the 360 makes, and don't fancy my gaming experience being hampered again.

[Roto13]

Well, I can tell you that my PS3 is pretty quiet. xP
