FFXIII Exclusivity In Question?

[Lýfelíëk Heroblãde]

From QJ.net:

Speaking in an interview in French newspaper Dernières Nouvelles d'Alsace, SCEE Vice President Georges Fornay said the following: "Enfin, pour Final Fantasy XIII, je peux vous dire que l'exclusivité est en discussion."

Google Translate and Kotaku both translate that as: "Lastly, for Final Fantasy XIII, I can say to you that exclusiveness is under discussion." Now that's not a nice thing to say, especially since talk about Devil May Cry 4 and Metal Gear Solid 4's chances of showing up for Microsoft's Xbox 360 console is still rampant.

Oh snap. I forgot. DMC4 already has an Xbox 360 version.

Do people go Uh-oh now? Well, there was a promise that we won't see Final Fantasy XIII this 2007. That means there's still time. That means there's still hope for Sony zealots. We hope. Perhaps Fornay meant something else with that exclusiveness is under discussion bit? Sigh.

I realize that this story is a few weeks old, but if this turns out to be true, guess who might be snatching up a 360...

sony is toast. i think its gonna take something earth shattering just to keep them afloat. and thats all it would is since there performace thus far has been dismal atbest.

I think this all is a temporary thing until sony gets some solid footing. they still have the brand recognition. it only makes sense to make multiplatform games right now, the 360 had a year on the PS3. give it another year and if FFXIV is going multiplatform, then there may be a problem...
