Isn't it still under consideration? Doesn't matter, if you already have a ps3 then it really doesn't matter. If you have a 360 like me, its good news. Meh, i'm selling my 360 for a ps3 anyway so it really doesn't matter to me.

That is a good thing, I love the series (except for FFX!), and I think that the game deserves to be released on all platforms capable to run the game.

The more competition between sony and microsoft , the more benefit we game players will got. But i think "exclusive ff" is a symbol of noble.

I think with the way the industry is today every third party game should be multiplatform. Heck, it is already starting to happen.

i think it is a stupid move by square onix(spell) because even though they will make more money they will be selling them short because now they have to think dvd and that will look worse on there part if the game looks butiful but only ten hours of game play. with the blu-ray at least it will be longer and they will get more praise by that.

YOu know what..... If SquareEnix sits there and ignores the capabilities of the PS3 then screw them. If we wait a year or more after launch for FF13 and all we get is a game that could have been awesome but was compressed, stripped down, and cut up so it would fit on a DVD and play on both systems then I don't think I want to play it anyway.

So, this guy says that the exclusivity is "under discussion" and that MEANS that it is coming to the 360. We can't DISPROVE it so it must be true. Well I say I had Unicorn for dinner last night. Prove me wrong

well the 360's cores are each general purpose and more complete then the Cell's SPEs so a single core on the Xenon has more power than a SPE on the Cell. In addition the Xenon's three cores are hyperthreaded giving it six virtual cores. The White engine could run on the 360, but if Square Enix is making full use of the Cell then physics or something might be a bit worse on 360.

okay, im gonna repeat this again. I started reading this months gamepro magazine, I was reading on how FF13 uses the "white Engine" even though its open source, it states that the engine was specifically designed for the PS3, it Uses 4 of the 6 SPE's of the PS3, so putting that in mind, do you think they are going to be able to port this game, cause if they do, the 360 version is going to look crappy.

Sounds like all that techie mumbo jumbo boils down to "Any port of FF13 would be crap" We're not talking about Capcom, Acclaim, Bandai, or any other of those whores who will develop for any system no matter what. We are talking about Square, and while I'm at it, I'll throw Kojima into this category too. These are companies that CARE about quality in their product. They are creating the BEST possible game, that means that they need the BEST possible system. Right now the BEST system is the PS3. I think that a year from now when the game comes out, Sony will have an install base large enough to satisfy Square. They are not going to release a sub-par product (by their standards) to the world just so it can be multi-platform. I think that BEFORE they would go multi-platform, they would release the game with a $70 price tag. All that would mean is that Square has to ignore the profit potential in the Xbox market in order to make a BETTER product and they are asking the consumers to subsidize some of that.

Are you kidding me, FFX was one of the better ones, better than 8,9 and X-2 which I really hated.

This is all MS Fanboy paranoia. An exclusive FF13 means that they have to admit that their system is the weakest. It would mean that they would have to admit that their system just isn't up for playing games with the greatest technology. They are scared of the day when FF13 comes out and it is something completely extraordinary. Because on that day, they will look down at their Xbox's with such disappointment. And they will look to the PS3 with frothing jealousy that is only going to get worse. Because when other developers see what Square will do, they will want to make something awesome as well. Which means that there will be more games made that the 360 just won't measure up to. This is HOW Sony gets exclusives. They don't pay developers for them. They never will. They built a superior product that they have faith in. So far the sales numbers support their belief in their strategy. Go Sony

No way, 9 was the best. X was probably second. 9 had the four character party, the abilities system, and one of the most emotionally charged and vivid endings of any game I've ever played.

I'm still not convinced a port would be "crap" as you so poetically phrase it. Yes, most ports are compromised in quality because of laziness or lack of concern, but I believe that IF Square Enix ported FF13 to 360 then it would be a quality product. That said since the game involves no mulitplayer then the PS3 version would still be superior just by the lack of disc swapping alone, although I doubt their would be much differences in either version aside from that.

Yes it would be "CRAP". Because it would mean that Square would NOT be putting out the absolute BEST product that they are capable of, they would instead be catering to the lowest common denominator.

The software probably isn't written to run on "cores". But if you need an apples to apples comparison, each of the 360's 3 processor cores has two hardware threads each. An SPE processes a single hardware thread. Six threads is six threads. But nobody knows how many simultaneous processing threads any game uses except the developers. Chances are there aren't going to be that many threads at once anyway.
