Final Fantasy on multiple platforms makes a whole lot of sense, they'll sell 3 times as many units by putting the games on both platforms. Sony's in a bit of trouble, methinks. Especially if the rumours of MGS4 coming to the 360 come true. I never did think about FFXIII still being an exclusive, but knowing the way FFXIII is being expanded, I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to see the Xbox360 get its <em>own</em> exclusive!

I see they're pulling all their last resort cards now: Chrono Trigger DS, Mario RPG on Virtual Console, multi-platform Final Fantasy. I hope they make it, if only because I want them to be able to make more games that aren't Final Fantasy. It kind of sucks for Sony, yeah, but they already have it made for themselves with the Blu-Ray player and a Metal Gear Solid 4 exclusive -- among other upcoming games. When Blu-Ray starts to catch on with the market more, I have no doubt that Sony's rut will be over considering the PS3 is the cheapest player out there. Luckily for Sony, FFXII Versus remains a PS3 exclusive... and just so happened to be the only one of the set I was looking forward to.
