When M$ lost big key exclusives to the PC and PS3 (Bioschock, Gears of War, and Mass Effect), PS3 owners were posting "360 is dead" threads everywhere while 360 owners were rolling their eyes and saying "who cares". Fast fowarding, we are seeing the other side of the coin with these same styled crappy threads. Listen fanboys, and listen closely. It is simply good business moves to go multiplat and make up from all the high quality hollywood style production costs that these new games produce. It is a matter of making a profit in order to survive in the business world. Instead of trying to "own" someone on an internet gaming website, do some research before looking like a total a$$ clown to the gaming community.

The more MS dishes out cash to get PS3 games to go multiplat...the more they are going to have to rely on 1st/2nd party software to sell the 360 to people. And what is that? We KNOW Sony has already stated their focus is on 1st and 2nd party titles, and they have some major games that people have loved for YEARS.

I think in a gaming industry where all games are multiplat except 1st party...Sony will come out on top on this one. MS is just buying themselves into mediocrity and spending a bunch of money for minimal benefit.

Final Fantasy coming to the 360 IS NOT like 360 titles going to PC.

technically they lose exclusivity - but we all know the impact (short and long term) is nowhere near the same.

I never said it was minimal benefit as an exclusive. I just think multiplats offer minimal benefits when it comes to moving consoles. Do you honestly believe that the only game keeping people from buying a 360 was FF13? That people looked at all the 360 had to offer and thought that FF13 trumped that? I doubt it. I have said it for over a decade now, that nobody bases their console buying decision on multiplats.

So while Sony losing FF exclusivity is a massive announcement, I'm not sure how it benefits the 360 now that it is multiplat...and only available for NA and Europe at that.

If PS3 fanboys keep up with the damage control, then lemmings are going to keep up the 'ps3 is dead' stuff.

Your class is just as bad as my 9th grade Spanish class. That teacher was crazy too!

No seriously, while I agree with your overall point, I do see a huge difference between a game going to the PC and a game going to a competitors platform. A better comparison would be Sony getting Bioshock. People say "Who cares" when a game goes to PC because really, who cares? Cows like to make it seem like an issue, but to the vast majority of console gamers, what is on PC is a non issue. That's why you don't see lemmings crying when a former exclusive is announced for PC, but some cows are talking boycots and such. It is obviously a big deal to some cows.

Comeback? The 360 is winning in WW sales. As long as the 360 is winning in that category, nothing else matters. And yes, FF13 is big to the casual market... but i know you would only say that if it was still ps3 exclusive.

I find it funny that you would equate one cow saying one thing, and me saying something else to accuse all cows of hypocrisy.

I have my own thoughts and opinions on the matter and I am going to state them. If you want to accuse me, personally, of hypocrisy, then go ahead. But don't label me in with all other Sony owners and act like they speak for me.

Bioshock was never a 360 exclusive, it came out on the same day as the PC, So wasn't exclusive. I would say losing Final Fantasy XIII to the 360 is alot worst than losing Gears of War and Mass Effect becasue those two were exclusive when they came out. The 360 and PS3 may come out on the same date, that is a major difference.

Also the cows had been rubbing it in the lemmings faces that they will never play Final Fantasy XIII on the 360 and that FFXIII can only run on the PS3.

It is SW this is the way of life.

Why do you think MS is dishing out all this money to buy all these games suddenly? They've even been losing in NA this year...the market they rely on for 60% of their total sales.

The thing is these 360 exclusives usually end up on the PC in a short time and sometimes even the PS3 or Wii. The exclusives for the PS3 are true exclusives that have never been released on another system, this in the end will the trump card for the PS3.

Now when did FF13 become minimal benefit?...

I never said it was minimal benefit as an exclusive. I just think multiplats offer minimal benefits when it comes to moving consoles. Do you honestly believe that the only game keeping people from buying a 360 was FF13? That people looked at all the 360 had to offer and thought that FF13 trumped that? I doubt it. I have said it for over a decade now, that nobody bases their console buying decision on multiplats.

So while Sony losing FF exclusivity is a massive announcement, I'm not sure how it benefits the 360 now that it is multiplat...and only available for NA and Europe at that.

You are right, but looking at it wrong.

It is true that exclusives are what you look at when making a purchase. Or to word it slightly differently, you look at what games are on a system that you can't get on the other, and decide which games you would rather have. Final Fantasy and MGS4 are big ones that people looked at as SONY ONLY. Now that one of them is out of the equation, people are going to look at the fact that 360's lienup is better respected on average and many will choose that. MGS4, Ratchet, Uncharted, and Resistance vs a whole lot more on 360. Yes, I know everyone won't think the same when looking at the lineup, but on average more people would like the 360 lineup based on what is currently hot in gaming.

XBox 360 owners were going to buy a ps3 for ff13 .

fact.

Eclipse_V2

this

when a ms game goes to pc thats not losing a console exclusive thou

losing FF13 as a exclusive to the ps3 is a massive dent in the sales of ps3. Alot of people were waiting to get a ps3 on the basis of getting ff13 on launch day. If you asked a ps3 fan a year ago what games you were looking forward to in MOST cases ff13 were at the top of the list or near the top. Now its going to 360 :D

This is why System Wars is so fun, because of all these threads.

BioShock going on the PS3 didn't even have 1/100th of the impact of FF13 going on the 360. Don't damage control when you do the same thing. Everyone's a hypocrite.

letting a game go multiplate does not mean they have given up, it doesn't mean anything other than they are smart enough to know you can't pay a company to "not" make games....its a waste of money.

instead they decided to keep that money and instead use it to grow there empire and make "more" games since so many companys were scared to do it starting out. plus sony already knows how to make them and make them good.

in the end it will come down to which "console" is better, not which games it has. multiplates will continue to flow and will increase because ps3 sales are soreing. meanwhile sony will be making the exclusives.

we already know games can be made just as good on the ps3, that is a FACT. so console to console there is no doubt which one offers more value. which is why ps3 sales are growing. if you already bought a 360 and it hasn't RROD then nvm.

Bioshock was always multiplat, Gears and Mass Effect came out on the PC at least 6 months after the 360 launch.

FF 13 is coming out in NA at the same time as the PS3 version. So much for your theory.

PC/360 games = a console game not on PS3.

360 benefits, PC benefits, PS3..........

PC360Wii

......fanboys make idiot responses like "But we can haz a PC and PS3, so an Xbox 360 is retarded."

Xbox 360 fans and anyone else with brain knows that paying for PC games means giveing money to Microsoft.

You couldnt be more wrong, how Ironic.

How so? I've heard Sony fans play the "All Xbox 360 so called exclusives are on the PC and therefore not exclusive." (Jimm895 just proved my point.) When really they are. In order to play PC games, you need to have an operating system (XP or Vista) to run those games, who owns XP and Vista? Microsoft, therefore you still paid money to (around $100-$200 if you currently have Vista) Microsoft to play games. And going even further you payed Microsoft Money for 1st/2nd party titles such as Halo PC or Gears of War PC.

The more MS dishes out cash to get PS3 games to go multiplat...the more they are going to have to rely on 1st/2nd party software to sell the 360 to people. And what is that? We KNOW Sony has already stated their focus is on 1st and 2nd party titles, and they have some major games that people have loved for YEARS.

I think in a gaming industry where all games are multiplat except 1st party...Sony will come out on top on this one. MS is just buying themselves into mediocrity and spending a bunch of money for minimal benefit.

wow. funny how this has caused a seachange among cows, lol. hypocrisy is just oozing from cows posts all over this board.

priceless.

I find it funny that you would equate one cow saying one thing, and me saying something else to accuse all cows of hypocrisy.

I have my own thoughts and opinions on the matter and I am going to state them. If you want to accuse me, personally, of hypocrisy, then go ahead. But don't label me in with all other Sony owners and act like they speak for me.

who's going to stop me? are you claiming you've never hyped FF13 for the PS3? never included it in any of you discussion about upcoming games? and now it's all of a sudden 'mediocrity' and 1st/2nd party is where it's at?

gimme a break. your thoughts might be your own, but unfortunately you're being a hypocrite like many other cows right now, hence the grouping. if you don't want to be labeled as such then maybe try being a bit more rational with your posts. or don't, doesn't matter to me.

[QUOTE="Big_Boss465"]PS3 fanboys (fanboys not owners) need to stop these posts. Not only is your logic typically flawed but you are just fueling the lemmings fire.ZIMdoom

I agree but lemmings are soo silly saying ps3 is dead when losing one exclusive that isn't that big to the casual market, ps3 has already taken europe and japan from 360, the question is can 360 make a comeback outside of NA

Comeback? The 360 is winning in WW sales. As long as the 360 is winning in that category, nothing else matters. And yes, FF13 is big to the casual market. You wouldn't be saying that if it was still ps3 exclusive.

Reality check - the 360 is only winning in terms of total WW sales. IN terms of head to head sales, they are in last place and have been in last place since the PS3 and WIi launched.

Why do you think MS is dishing out all this money to buy all these games suddenly? They've even been losing in NA this year...the market they rely on for 60% of their total sales.

Sony said the only started outselling MS in October of last year in Europe, North America is a virtual tie (and after the spanking they got last year, a tie is nothing), and with the huge difference in install bases, MS does not have to pay anymore. They are in the driver seat. More installed, higher attachment rates, easier to program for, and online code provided by the console maker. Sony NEEDS to pay to combat those.

When M$ lost big key exclusives to the PC and PS3 (Bioschock, Gears of War, and Mass Effect), PS3 owners were posting "360 is dead" threads everywhere while 360 owners were rolling their eyes and saying "who cares". Fast fowarding, we are seeing the other side of the coin with these same styled crappy threads. Listen fanboys, and listen closely. It is simply good business moves to go multiplat and make up from all the high quality hollywood style production costs that these new games produce. It is a matter of making a profit in order to survive in the business world. Instead of trying to "own" someone on an internet gaming website, do some research before looking like a total a$$ clown to the gaming community.

PS3+Xbox360+Wii+PC = win

Lemmings+Cows+Sheep+Hermits+Fanboys= Fail

Class dismissed.

megaton3k

The games you just listed are all Games For Windows games, incase you didn't know MS made Windows....

The only exception to that is Bioshock that is being ported to the PS3.

You lesson was a fail I feel dumber just reading it again

Worst logic....ever.

Scenario A: MS gets a number of PS3 franchises to go multiplat for whatever reason. MS 1st/2nd party titles stay same. MS library increases. PS3 exclusive library goes down. Sony 1st/2nd party titles stay same.

Scenario B: MS does not get any PS3 franchises to go multiplat. MS 1st/2nd party titles stay same. MS library does not grow. PS3 exclusive library stays the same. Sony 1st/2nd party titles stay same.

Pls explain how scenario B is better than scenario A for MS. LMAO. Fanboys will do any kind of mental tricks to convince themselves of the absurd.

Obtaining previously Sony exclusives enhances the 360 library. Assuming these games are good. Period. End of story. No spin of yours can change that. It's good for MS and a blow to Sony. But it is hardly the end of the world. Suck it up.

exactly, its better for developers to go multi-plat. it dosent mean that one console is dying or anything. i wouldnt be surprised if konami announced mgs4 for 360

Lol, seriously? I bet you can't give me one link that backs up that statement. Because otherwise, everything that your saying just sounds like typical cow damage control.

YOu want a link proving that MS is dishing out cash to buy up games to combat low sales? What...you think I have a link to an internal MS memo or something? Don't be so ignorant.

Here are the facts. The 360 is losing its 10 million console headstart and is now, at best, only 5 million ahead of the PS3. The 360 has been outsold by both the Wii and PS3, world wide, since they launched. The 360 has lost 4/5 months in NA, its single biggest region, so far this year.

Suddenly, Rockband 2 is timed exclusive. Suddenly FF13 is multiplat, but only in the two regions MS has a fighting chance in (NA and Europe).

You think that is all just a coincidence?
