E3: Final Fantasy XIII Trailer


It's 'Final Fantasy' - one of the most loved and traditional gaming franchises gamers love since 20 years. Since the Playstation 1, and that's over a decade, all big Final Fantasies were Sony exclusive. But now Square Enix decided to release this game as well on the Xbox 360. Good for 360 owners, disappointing for Playstation 3 owners, reducing their amount of must play exclusives down to 'Metal Gear Solid 4'. And when Square Enix, a company of which Sony holds 9%, manages to bring FFXIII to the 360, signs are even stronger that MSG4 will lose it's exclusivity as well, sooner or later.
I have to say that I don't like the fact too much that Microsoft is that much stronger in core gaming than Sony. I always hoped that there will be a tough competition between those two companies, a competition of which us, the gamers, profit, but Sony definitely needs to do more - lower prices, better bundles and the most important: more exclusive games.
