June 5, 2007 - Looking for more Final Fantasy following the Xbox 360 port of Final Fantasy XI? Then you're going to have to look to a different next generation system. A Square Enix executive has disclosed to Japan's Nikkei BP that the company currently has no plans for Final Fantasy games on the 360.

Noting that the PS3 is getting Final Fantasy XIII, the website asked Square Enix's Shinji Hashimoto if the Wii or Xbox 360 will also be getting games in the series. "For the Wii, we have FF Crystal Chronicles in production," replied Hashimoto. "As for FF on the Xbox 360, it's currently a completely blank page."

Strong words from Hashimoto, although perhaps if everyone goes out and buys Last Remnant (that includes you!), Square Enix will have a change of heart.

I guess you don't understand the concept of "System Seller".  It's games like FF that are expected to create the ps3's install base.  A console doesn't sell itself.

Meh, never really got into FF that much. I still think both FF XIII and MGS4 will EVENTUALY come to teh 360 because of the very lackluster sales of the PS3. Money comes before Brand Loyalty. In any case, These two games alone cant save Sony. But it will certainly help them. was thinking of getting A ps3 when the price goes down anyway.

But can a single game (FF XIII) really generate that much console sales? One or two games does not a syestem make.

This is one of those threads we need to bookmark.................

 

 

as someone stated before.......

 

 

money comes before brand loyalty......however I think with this game in particular it's more of a race issue, as where Square would rather stay exclusive to a Japanese company than look like a sellout to the "lazy american!!" company. We'll see how far that honor stretches.....

You act as if MGS4 and FFXIII are the only two ps3 games in the works.  Everyday there is a massive list of ps3 games made, which everybody then mocks throwing things out like "waitstation", etc., but it doesn't change the fact that these games ARE being made, and when the come out, people will buy ps3's to play them.  They will increase the install base quite a bit before FFXIII is even close to being finished. The ps3 won't be stuck at 3.5 mil. consoles sold forever.

And besides, how many people here (most notably greg_splicer) have said they'd only buy a ps3 if FFXIII remained exclusive?

according to Shane (1up reviewer) FF xiii is expected to sell around 3-4 million copies in Japan, and thats a low estimation.

Anyways i'm glad that it FF series stays with wii and ps3. 360 has LO, BD, ES and LS. :P

FF VII was probably the first system seller for the original PS.
People that were reluctant or on the edge to buy one rushed  to get a PS after the launch of that game.

So, yeah, I really can see this game pushing PS3 sales. I'm sure there are tons of people just waiting for this games (amongts a few others) to buy a PS3.

Just about every major game this fall is Sony 1st/2nd party.  Lair, Heavenly Sword, Uncharted, Ratchet & Clank, etc...

Also, you're really pessimistic.  I could say the same about every 360 exclusive.  "It could go multiplt!1!!1"  But i'm not.

I for one hope these games dont go to teh 360. More incentive for me to buy a PS3. For both 360 adn PS3 games, you never know if the game is going to be awesome AAA stuff until its actualy released and you get to play it.

can it generate console sales? is this a serious question? the last two main final fantasy games released on playstation 2 each sold over 2 million copies in the first day.

But sales were at 50 million and over 100 million at the time...compared to proably the 5-15 million when taht game comes out...

when ffx released in july of 01 there was about 5 million or so ps2s shipped in japan. the game sold 1.9 million copies in 4 days. ps3 will be in the same situation when this game comes to japan. this game will sell systems. i would not be suprised if by next year ps3 really catches 360 in sales.

I guess you don't understand the concept of "System Seller".  It's games like FF that are expected to create the ps3's install base.  A console doesn't sell itself.

But can a single game (FF XIII) really generate that much console sales? One or two games does not a syestem make.

We're talking about FF one of the biggest franchises ever (and prove me wrong) so it will definitely sell a few PS3's.  Plus by the time its out PS3's install base will have grown

hahaha, i'll laugh at square -enix when FFXIII doesn't sell as well as expected because a lack of PS3 install base.........

then they rush a crappy port to the 360.

Thats of course if Sony pulls there heads out of their asses and starts giving reasons to own a PS3.

......however I think with this game in particular it's more of a race issue, as where Square would rather stay exclusive to a Japanese company than look like a sellout to the "lazy american!!" company. We'll see how far that honor stretches..... x037leox

American and Japanese aren't races; they're ethnicities.

they already stated that the game cannot be ported to the 360 even if they wanted to.  because of the lack of shaders available on the 360 hardware and of course the lack of space.  its not practical.  but anyways i don't want to start a flame war or anything.  but ill tell you this that i actually bought the ps3 just for this game,  i will ofcourse be picking up other sweet title like  uncharted, rachet, msg4, and a bunch of others but FXIII alone is worth it for me,  there is no other game out there that i look forward to more than this game.  i just simply cannot wait for this game.

You act as if MGS4 and FFXIII are the only two ps3 games in the works.  Everyday there is a massive list of ps3 games made, which everybody then mocks throwing things out like "waitstation", etc., but it doesn't change the fact that these games ARE being made, and when the come out, people will buy ps3's to play them.  They will increase the install base quite a bit before FFXIII is even close to being finished. The ps3 won't be stuck at 3.5 mil. consoles sold forever.

And besides, how many people here (most notably greg_splicer) have said they'd only buy a ps3 if FFXIII remained exclusive?

everytime they rebuttal or make a fanboyish claim you take them down hard

why are the lems so bent over for gettting FF and MGS on their system, "so that everyone can play it" than why are there 3 consoles

Thanks.

Exactly.  The reason there are three consoles is so that there will be games catering to each's strengths.  Also, if the 360's library is so superior to the ps3's, why do they want the games so much?  Both consoles have a great library, but you don't see the ps3 fans begging for 360 games all the time just so they don't have to buy one.

Everyone keeps saying FFXIII will be a system seller, will create an install base.............. well that may have been true back for the PS1 and 2, but

 

 

 

THEY DID NOT COST $600 in a time of a crappy economy.

 

So what you cows are saying is that FFXIII will be worth $660 + TAX. .....

 

Then the cost of other games you buy to feel some kind of redemption for dropping that much cash to play 1 game.

A lot of people will buy the PS3 once huge titles are released, this includes FFXIII. Definitely a system seller.

Most of PS fans are waiting for big games anyway.

Thats because it will be 400 right? :P By 2008, The PS3 will probably cost $600 to make. Bluray Diodes are getting cheaper, and are being made more. They dropped the EE chip. They're taking measures to make sure they can drop the PS3 price

They might be losing the same amount of money but that would require a price drop. Which means more hardware sales and removes your entire argument for FFXIII not pushing consoles.

i bought a xbox just for halo 2 and ps2 for gtaiii, and i'll definitely buy a ps3 for ffxiii and msg4.

and i'll buy heavenly sword, uncharted also.

so i'm not spending "$600 " for one game, it's for 6+ years and plenty of games
