" As of now we have no change in plans. However, just because it is designed for the PS3 does not mean that it is absolutely unusable in any way whatsoever on another platform. With regard to sales, we look at timing. It's not just about how many units are available at a certain time; influence- is also very important. -Square Enix President Yoichi Wada

Make of this what you will, but as it stands Final Fantasy XIII is a PS3 exclusive, and should be for some time in the foreseeable future, but again anything can change. What do you guys think?

Japanese has always been very good with this kind of talk. Probably FFXIII will stay exclusive. Yoichi probly just want to score bigger contracts with SONY. Or maybe they are waiting to see how the Xbox360 and PS3 sales perform in the following year before their Japan release.

I have seen in WSJ or somewhere indicating PS3 sales lagged behind both xobox360 and wii in May. ( i could be wrong)Let us just hope at E3, we can have better clue on the exclusivity.

FFXIII uses the White Engine which was designed from the ground up to take advantage of the Cell.

If they port this game to ANY system, it will SUCK, period.

This forum is getting sad. Everyday the same threads are posted over and over AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN! I can't tell you how may times I've seen this question asked. I mean do you guys not have a clue of what to talk about? If not then you should give the board a rest.

PS: YES! IT'S A PS3 EXCLUSIVE!

I dont see Sony allowing this to happen, I know that they have no direct control over the issue but im pretty sure as we speak they are sorting out some contracts to keep one of their biggest franchise sellers, having lost the exclusivity of many others.
