Microsoft aims to get FF13 and MGS4 on the 360

Link

'One down one to go' such fighting talk from Microsoft.If they can get DMC4 there is a REAL chance that both FF13 and MGS4 will come to the 360.

What will playstaiton 3 owners do if they come to the 360? Now don't say there's no way they are coming to the 360,because they have every chance to appear on the 360,i would be very worried if i invested in a $600(425GBP) ps3 with FF13and MGS4 in mind. Will Sony fans still be loyal to Sony if this does happen?

Remember, a deal takes two parties, and Konami and Square may not adopt the same strategy as Capcom.fuzzysquash

And when there is a possibilty of making more money... I wonder which one they will choose...

Thats not the only game Micro is trying to get from PS3. 'Cher's-Life after Love' game is a true candidate rolling towards the 360 too.

Because the Xbox flopped in sales, which is what the PS3 is doing. PS3 can barely pass 100,000 in a month.

Not enough, not to mention the Xbox appealed mostly to FPS/WRPG fans, compared to the Xbox 360. Porting just didn't make sense, but now it does because the 360 is selling well in America while the PS3 is flopping.

Devil May Cry didn't go on the Xbox either, but it's going to the 360, for example.

The PS3 isn't succeeding anywhere so far.

So, Resident Evil 4 came out and the GameCube had 20 million units (which was only a couple million less then the Xbox, which never passed 25 million, dont kid yourself on that) but still the game got ported to a higher selling console even though it got dumbed down severely with a bit more content. Capcom wants more money and you know why they are putting DMC4 on the 360? Because development costs are becoming rediculously expensive and Capcom knows that they can make a game for two consoles during the same production time and make more money off the sales to make up for development costs better. I guarantee they lost a load of money on Lost Planet and Dead Rising.

Okay, there you go. So how's Square to know that Xbox 360's owners all of a sudden love JRPG's? The main base of JRPG's is in Japan, where PS3 is succeeding and 360 is not.fuzzysquash

So? It's not like they need to put FFXIII on the Xbox 360 in Japan, isn't Resident Evil 5 exclusive to Ps3 in Japan?

And Xbox 360 owners are different from Xbox owners - 60% I believe are new to the Xbox brand with the Xbox 360. The original PlayStation had mostly Japanese type games, but the PS2 had many American type games like GTA while the PS3 will have even more now, because the demographics are not the same.

Xbox didn't get Devil May Cry for example, and neither GTA for the first few months but that's different now because this is a different generation, where the Xbox brand has more sales than the PlayStation brand.

Becasue the xbox was dead long before ff12 was released,and maybe because the ps2 sold 100+ million and xbox only sold 25+ million?

Why not? Only 4 million copies of FFXII were sold, and there was a 25 million userbase for the Xbox. It's not like all 110 million PS2 users bought the game. What's your guys' argument? Settle on one. Either Xbox fans want FF, and therefore Square will sense that and port XIII--or Xbox fans don't want FF, which is why Square didn't port the PS2 titles. I'm seein' self-contradictory logic here.fuzzysquash

You've met all Xbox users? Don't judge the Xbox fanbase on its fanboys here. A lot of Xbox fans would have LOVED to see Final Fantasy on their system, not some 3 year old MMORPG port but a real one. Devil May Cry 3 only sold I think around a million so why didn't Capcom port it to the Xbox? Because there wasn't demand. Now there is due to different demographics. A lot of Sony fanboys have jumped ship, for example.

[QUOTE="ninjiijitsu"][QUOTE="fuzzysquash"][QUOTE="blacktorn"][QUOTE="fuzzysquash"] In that case, answer the question. Why wasn't FFXII ported? You guys are saying that if there's demand in the Xbox market, Square will port FFXIII. They didn't port XII. Why?fuzzysquash

Like I said depending on how well Blue dragon and Lost Odyssey does sales wise will determine if FFXIII comes.

Because Xbox users mostly bought Americanized games like Halo or KOTOR instead of Panzer Dragoon Orta or Ninja Gaiden.

I don't understand how you can be SOOOO sure that Square is not interested in porting it too the 360 after the 360 has a clear dominance this gen,10 million vs. 2 million?

As I said, there wasn't enough Xbox fans then. 24 million is alot, but not enough. Now that the 360 has the upperhand in sales Square Enix will have a different look. I can bring up the Devil May Cry 4 deal and show how this generation is totally different.

Umm I think any owner of a console would want a game like Final Fantasy on it.

So answer the question-- if so many Xbox fans "would have LOVED to see Final Fantasy on their system," why didn't Square port it? Love = demand, doesn't it? And if there's the same "love" being demonstrated by 360 users, then according to your logic, all signs point to the direction that Square WON'T port it.fuzzysquash
