  PS3 Becoming More Sucessful and Looking Ahead

  Alright, so the PS3 is becoming much more successful this Holiday Season. With Wii topping sales charts followed by the DS/i. Next in turn came the PS3, Xbox 360, PSP, and the good old PS2 (http://www.gamespot.com/news/6240125.html). Right now, since I currently don't havea Xbox 360 to complete my collection, I can't really say if this could mean something for Sony all that well. But I can not remember the PS3 beating the360 in sales. Currently games are coming out for the PS3 that would make me buy one if I didn't all ready have one. Games like Uncharted 2: Among Theives, Demon's Soul, and the non-exclusive Dragon Age are currently making my mind boggle on which one I should try first. With Assassin's Creed II coming soon, I just don't think I can afford all of these games right now. What to do? What to do!?

  Anyways the PS3 is already doing well for this Season, but let's get to thinking about next Season, or Winter of2010 (Which now that I think about it I should probably get a 2010 calender). Over the Winter PS3 and Xbox 360 will be receiving Final Fantasy XIII on March 9 (US, EU). With much anticipation for about four years, Final Fantasy XIII will hit the market. Probably hitting a sales boom, much like Modern Warfare 2 did, I'm expecting Final Fantasy XIII to be the top selling game of the Winter/Spring season. Next is White Knight Chronicles, another PS3 exclusive. Though not as many as I may think are looking forward to this game, I currently am. White Knight Chronicles was the third JRPG, or RPG in general, to catch my eye for the PS3, Following after only Final FantasyVersus XIIIand Final Fantasy XIII. White Knight Chroniclesis currently not set with a specific date, but in my opinion will be sometime during February.

  In my opinion the PS3 is going to do really well this Holiday Season, after the Holidays game sells overall will probably decline some till the release of the two games mentioned above. On the bright side, things are looking good.

  Thinking About Getting A 360

  Edit: I decided to wait on getting a Xbox 360. Maybe for Chritmas or something.

  Alright, so everyone should know by now that a price drop is happening for the 360 August 30th, right? Well I've been thinking about getting a 360 around this time of the year and I got lucky about the price drop. So now I've actually thought about what I would do with the 360, you know what games I would get and such. Well after thinking it over I've recently realised that there aren't that many games I would get for it that I could get for my PS3. Right now I would have to say that there are only three games I would get for the 360 that I wouldn't be able to get for the PS3, and maybe one I could get on either. So would it be good to buy a 360 for only three games? I would like some other peoples opinions on this because it I want to know if it's worth paying $300 dollars for a 360 (Elite?), probably another $150 on (new) games, and about $70-$80 on accessories. So about $530 + tax. P.S. Trying to figure out when there will be a tax free week/end? at a nearby state to see if I can pay even less.

  Final Fantasy XIII Installments

  Final Fantasy XIII (X-BOX 360, PlayStation 3)

  
  Lightining for Final Fantasy XIII
  
  

  Final Fantasy XIII is to be released sometime late next year. Many were looking forward to playing the game this year for it was originally announced to come out late 2008 for the PlayStation 3. Many people grow tired waiting for this game to come into their possession. At the moment in Japan only (not confirmed if JP only) in March 2009 a 90 minute demo of Final Fantasy XIII, PlayStation 3 only. The demo is to start from the very beginning of the game, that way nothing will be spoiled for people. The demo will come with the Blu-ray version of Final Fantasy VII: Advent children and is probable to sell seperately later. While many will go out and but this demo separately I would really not recommend it. A reason it may be sold separately is only because of the files immense size. Because of the immense size the file will probably be to big for the PlayStation Network.

  Well enough about the demo and on to the story. The story of Final Fantasy XIII takes place somewhat on a floating utopia city to human, Cocoon. All that is known about the heroine is that her codename is Lightning. While Lightning true name remains hidden from everyone else. Anyway, Cocoon is watched over by a Crystal (yes, the Crystal's are somewhat alive in this game). While the Crystal watches and protects the humans on Cocoon. It is believed that any who defies the Holy Government is to be killed. below Cocoon is Pluse, another part of the world. It is believed that the construction the floating city was constructed by the Farsi, people on Pluse that had a certain infection. There is also a group called the Lusi, whom fallow the will of the Crystal's and carry out missions for the Farsi. It has been confirmed that Lightning, Mr. 33cm (nickname made once it was confirmed he wore shoes in the size of 33cm, also he's the Blonde guy in the trailers)*, and the Pig Tailed Girl (no name information what-so-ever) are all Lusi.

  Final Fantasy XIII was originally a PlayStation 3 exclusive, till they decided to go multi-platform and will now also release on the X-BOX 360. While the game will first be finished with the PlayStation 3 version, the game will probably be held till the X-BOX 360 version is completed. during this time they of course won't just leave the PlayStation 3 version to lay there and will probably give it some extra things the X-BOX 360 version will not have.

  Final Fantasy versus XIII (PlayStation 3)

  
  The Prince and Group
  
  

  Final Fantasy versus XIII was also expected to come out during the late 2008 with Final Fantasy XIII before Final Fantasy XIII was announced to become multi-platform. Final Fantasy versus XIII however is to remain a PlayStation 3 exclusive and will not change. I personally now think that Final Fantasy versus XIII will probably be out later then Final Fantasy XIII. While many look forward to this installment of the Final Fantasy series, you will not need to hold you breath 360 owner because again it's only for the PlayStation 3 and will NOT change (and I don't really want anyone passing out from it).

  The Story of Final Fantasy versus XIII takes place in a city, currently known as "Dark City". You follow the adventures of a Prince, whom name is not yet known. The City has the last known Crystal that man has. Whomever has this Crystal there kingdom will prosper. Another world attacks the kingdom in hold of the Crystal. The Prince is with the defending kingdom and defends the Crystal, While magicians defend the city. So, In this game you will probably go around and kill people who are a threat to the Crystal, but I don't know.

  No demos are yet known for this game,

  Final Fantasy agito XIII (PlayStation Portable, Mobile Phone)

  
  12 Students from the School of Magic and one Moggle
  

  Final Fantasy agito XIII will be for the PlayStation Portable and the Mobile Phone. While I expect no demo for this game in the future I also know very little about it. only at the time when this game was also announced for the PlayStation Portable that some people have decided to try and shed some light on it. I can tell you this much though, the Hero of the story is a male with blonde colorish hair and a red uniform.

  Final Fantasy haeresis XIII (???)

  No Image

  While Final Fantasy haeresis XIII is not yet known much o the public. It is not even confirmed if the game will be coming out at all. But for those that wish to know something about it I can tell you that if it ever comes out it should be a Massive Multi-player Online Role Playing Game, MMORPG for short.

  Well now that I typed all that, I will stop because my brain has become tired from all this thinking and typing, and if you are to read this I ask that you please leave any questions or comments in the comments. Thank you.
