Most of us must still be reeling in utter shock after Square Enix's announcement yesterday that Final Fantasy XIII - previously known as a PS3-exclusive - will now also be heading to the Xbox 360. Though many are quick to give an outcry, investors seem to be welcoming the cross-platform announcement with open arms (and open wallets). When the stock market in Japan closed yesterday, stock shares for Square Enix got a substantial spike and got a 5.2% gain, closing at JP¥ 3,250 (US$ 31) in the Tokyo Stock Exchange. This is the biggest gain Square Enix has had since May 22. What some of you might find weird about this is that Square Enix's upward movement in the Tokyo Stock Exchange happened at all, since it's been confirmed that FF13 will not arrive on the Xbox 360 for Japan. Though that may be the case, consider that the stock market isn't wholly dependent on console wars and the dictates of exclusivity politics. Investors view the stock market from a financial perspective. Related articles:

i hope instead of losing quality they make the xbox one on 2+ discs but they haven't done that since the PS1 but it could happen

PSP has actually had a game or two which came on 2 UMDs, I remember reading this in a forum some months back!
Remember the days of PSOne? I think Wing Comander 4 came on 4 Discs, thats a posibility of 2.8 GBs of data for PS One compared to N64s 64MB. Ah Good Times.

Square Enix are a bunch of sell outs. Next thing you know Kingdom Hearts will be coming to the 360. At least we're getting BioShock... I was hoping this would be the next killer PS3 exclusive. Guess not. Vs better be good though...(sigh)

» Well....
I wouldn't care if it's coming out in Xbox, as long as it comes out in the PS3. Reason I say this is because I'm a fan of FF series, but at this day and age, if you going to make a game for both systems, make ALL for both systems, I don't want to buy a Xbox just to play Star Ocean or infinite undiscovery etc, Just make all the games for both systems, I don't need 2 systems in my house......Let's see the fate of Kingdom Hearts and FFXIII Versus....
At the rate the PS3 is going is getting ports that are already played in the xbox360 or getting game launches after the 360...
Reason I won't buy a 360 is only because of the 16% Red Ring of Death, seriously thats a high %, the ps3 may freeze but just turn it off and back on, and your set. If they can fix that..
I'll buy a 360, cheers everyone.

going to sell it on the 360. witch is smart. but what they dont understand is that most 360 owners dont like these types of games. i mean after all theres only 10 people wanting this game on the 360. i think its a waste of time and money sending it to the 360. but hey iv only taken tons of business classes -.-
i hope this game will just completely fail. though i do love these games we need to show these game companies that we want this game for XXX system and not with its competitors

I am way more looking forward to Gears2. If FF wasn't enough to swing me from buying a PS3 in the first place it doesn't mean much to me. But having that said I am sure there are many who welcome the FF on 360. Hey, more choices and everyone is happy (except for you sony fanboys screaming for sellout) why the heck not? On the other hand, if they said Gears2 is gonna go to PS3 I don't care either as long as they release it for 360.

i have to have HD everything: tv,mac HD streaming,shows, and of course blu-ray movies...
-Think about this-
like 70-80% of 360 owners dont even own a hi-def TV or have one and dont know how to use it.(everyone I know that has a 360 hasNO HD tv's). but as for ps3 owners... 90% of them HAVE HDtv's and know how to use em along with blu-ray,SO my point is that wen ff13 comes out 4 the 360 owners,people are most likley gunna be playing it in SD witch puts the quality and experience to poop,so no matter wut,us ps3 owners will get the full experience.
PLUS i dont think alot (if any) of 360 owners really cared at all about ff13 being ported to their system. but Wutever,Sqeenix sux now and if they port kingdom hearts to 360,im allmost positive the will get Disowned by ALL (not some) but ALL of their fans and will forever be hated and most likely burned to the ground. :) ef you *****enix.

» WTF!?!?!?!?!
I wouldn't worry about FF13 for PS3 being degraded. Most of the work is already done. They aren't going to go back to the drawing board over this. There will certainly be two completely different development tracks.
This is going to be rather interesting. Many people have their own THEORIES about 360 versus PS3. For example, BD is great for more space but they only need it because they are wasting space for faster load times. Pure logic debunks that one. If that was the case then they could just use DVD9. But it'll be fun to finally stomp all these 360 kiddies into the ground once and for all.
I wouldn't doubt it if this move was done solely to END the VERSUS wars once and for all. This will be a true test as to what can and can not be done on which console. If the 360 can EQUAL the PS3 version on DVD9 then everyone has no choice but to admit the consoles are equal.

"For example, BD is great for more space but they only need it because they are wasting space for faster load times. Pure logic debunks that one. If that was the case then they could just use DVD9."
SOME space on blu ray is wasted for duplicate data to make loading times faster. The PS3 only runs PS3 games on blu ray discs. Everything else is run as DVD, PS2, PS1, whatever is detected. A PS3 game CANNOT be released on a non blu-ray disc due to copy protection. You know the drill, YOU FAIL.
Sure, the XBOX 360 version will be more than one disc. Was that a problem on the PS1?
The trade off is no required HDD installs, sometimes taking 4GB or more.
Both versions will probably be the same otherwise.
WHO CARES????

I would like to say that you can further speedup PS3 loading time by purchasing a 7200RPM harddrive if you are planing on geting a bigger one. It can take in some titles more than 10 seconds out of loading times.

There is no REQUIRED(!) installs on the 360 and I seriously doubt there ever will be. Optional is the key word.
Blu-Ray is great for FMV cut scenes and that's really the only advantage it has. MS showcased some pretty graphic intense games at it's keynote, Gears, RE5 and Fallout. Why would people think the game will need to be degraded for the 360? It will need extra discs because of the FMVs but everything else will be pretty close to equal.
Square have actually had more experience developing games on the 360 as well. It's not like this will be their first 360 game. In fact it will be their fourth one by the time it's released.

Imagine that microsoft release their new console and you hear that halo 4 is comming out and you really want it.
Naturally you'd think it'll only be on xbox, so you go out and buy the new xbox only to find out that Halo4 is going to be on PS3, now you're pissed of you wasted you money and the game is nolonger where it belongs.
This is why these argument happen.
BTW if anyone didn't know, NO there is not a Halo4 on PS3.

» Sony needs to really do something
I think in the near future, more and more exclusives that were once only available on the Playstations will head over to the Xbox 360 due to Microsoft's constant luring using its monetary attraction. Sigh...this is the sad truth, S-E needs more money therefore it is releasing FFXIII on the 360 as well since the xbox 360 has a huge user base in North America. In Europe I would say it's about the same for PS3 and 360. I totally understand them not releasing the game on the 360 in Japan since you know...the 360 is miserable in that region. Anyhow, I just hope they won't sacrifice the quality for quantity as some of you have said already.
As for Versus XIII, I sure hope the game takes advantage of the Cell BE Processor since this is an exclusive. I would expect better graphics quality than FFXIII since this is solely being developed for the PS3.

» EPIC FAIL.
Epic Fail I say. All three companies. Micro$oft, $ony and now $quare Enix as well. All three fail in my opinion.
First. Sony killed its wonderful gaming console to further their HD media. I said including bluray was a bad idea the day the playstation came out and even though bluray won the next-gen format war, it killed the PlayStation. If the PS3 didn't have the bluray drive it wouldn't be *****ing $599.99 the day it came out and everyone would have it by now and FFXIII would remain PS3 exclusive.
Microsoft can just go to hell. All they know to do is steal customers with promises of money and deliver ***** products in return. ***** you Microsoft.
$quare Enix EPIC FAIL. Not only are they looking like complete Sell-Outs now but also what they don't realize is that all those people that they think make such a strong Xbox base in America WILL NOT BUY this game! Yes, many will. But not like they are hoping. Majority of the Xbox base has no interest in Final Fantasy. All the people I know think it's a kids' game. Most Xbox users like Halo type games. So great work SE. You sold yourself out and not only lost your loyal Sony fanbase but got jack ***** in return.
Good job SE. I'm sure now you will complete the kill and gutting us by removing *****loads of awesome content that would have been otherwise included on the PS3. Trust me. There will be no "two-disc" version and there will be no "separate ps3" version. Prepare for the next gta iv.

I said including bluray was a bad idea the day the playstation came out and even though bluray won the next-gen format war, it killed the PlayStation. If the PS3 didn't have the bluray drive it wouldn't be *****ing $599.99 the day it came out and everyone would have it by now and FFXIII would remain PS3 exclusive.
Microsoft can just go to hell. All they know to do is steal customers with promises of money and deliver ***** products in return. ***** you Microsoft.
$quare Enix EPIC FAIL. Not only are they looking like complete Sell-Outs now but also what they don't realize is that all those people that they think make such a strong Xbox base in America WILL NOT BUY this game! Yes, many will. But not like they are hoping. Majority of the Xbox base has no interest in Final Fantasy. All the people I know think it's a kids' game. Most Xbox users like Halo type games. So great work SE. You sold yourself out and not only lost your loyal Sony fanbase but got jack ***** in return.
Good job SE. I'm sure now you will complete the kill and gutting us by removing *****loads of awesome content that would have been otherwise included on the PS3. Trust me. There will be no "two-disc" version and there will be no "separate ps3" version. Prepare for the next gta iv.

@Esaar - Does your rear end hurt as often as the veins poping out of your neck?
It's called a Hemorrhoid. You should get that checked out! Chilling out in the meantime would be a good idea.
Remember, these are video GAMES.
Save that energy of yours for when you come across someone killing puppies...

From what I have read...
The 360 upscales games to 720p and 1080p. This means DVD9 only has standard definition stored on the disk. This and the data may be more compressed.
Blu-Ray has games stored in high definition, instead of the PS3 upscaling the standard definition.
Disk storage may not be an issue.

It doesn't mean that you can't have a game at 720p or whatever on a DVD disc.
I don't understand that some people fail to understand this.. The storage media is different only in its storage capacity.
Let's say you have a 2GB 720p video file on your hard drive and you burn it on a DVD-R and a BD-disc, does the file suddenly come SD on a dvd? +)
For the part that DVD-9 would not be enough for this game.. I think that ~8.5GB or so is more than enough for games at this generation, only time when you need huge amounts of storage space is when you have prerendered video inside the game... Whitch I think is pretty useles since you could do just the same using the games engine.
Or aren't the consoles fast enoug? ;)
On PC there arent many games that are over 6GB or so, and I would guess that textures (the stuff that takes most of the storage space) are just as high detailed or more detailed than on consoles.
