The Microsoft E3 bomb
Hahaha. I was actually searching for the press conference for yesterday’s news, and look at what happened. Final Fantasy XIII is now coming for the 360 also. So they went multiplatform. Is it a big deal? you bet it is.
For the uninitiated, Final Fantasy is by far one of the best gaming franchises to have ever been established since it first debuted in on Nintendo’s NES and SNES consoles. What happened though, was Sony developed the Playstation. From there, people decided to go that way with them considering more space to build games on. The Final Fantasy one was no different.
Throughout the years the Final Fantasy series has long served the Playstation house for so long, creating so many fans of the epic game franchise. In the end though, the bomb was dropped yesterday on the fanboys of Sony after 15 years ago when it happened to the Nintendo front. A backstab move on the company? I don’t believe so.
You see the times have changed. When people thought Sony would reign forever, they were wrong. And actually, both companies were considering how Nintendo is still the best selling console for the world. though, what should be thought of is that this happens because of the Nintendo Wii is seen as a supplement, and not really as a huge contender to the other 2. Innovation won the hearts of money, yet NIntendo still needs a really good online implementation system, and not numbers.
Back to the story though, it has come to my attention that people have cried due to exclusitivity. Some like it, some hate it, some love it so much that when they weep, they weep blood. And saying that is only underestimation.
From how I see it, I say congratulations to the guys at the Xbox 360 front. They’ve got it and they should be really happy to get the game to their console. For the PS3 fanboys, chill. It has happened before, doesn’t mean it won’t happen again. By the looks of it, Japan will still reign with the PS3 (360 was already pronounced dead years ago) and free region capabilities is something that we should be proud of.
I still don’t think like 3ROD. That’s too major of a hardware problem. you won’t see me get my 360 before my PS3, that’s for sure. But I would really like to see what the powerhouse is going to bring to the masses. If you ask me, something is really fishy here and our answers will probabbly be answered tomorrow.
Much Love, Azlil.Ash
