This sidequests thing. Has anyone from Square actually confirmed anything? 'cause from the way that article words it, it's just some PS3 site speculating. I agree with Kishi. Mountain out of a molehill. If it was confirmed that the 360 caused a couple of towns or whatnot to get cut I'd understand, but really now.

"But it's the principle of the thing!" Yes yes, console tribal warfare. I know.

I think were the role reverses, 360 users might be issuing the same complaints.

I think anyone with a decent head on their shoulders, realizes that it won't ruin the game. I think the point of the matter is in the name of being "fair" in the multi-platform release, or whatever you want to call it, that you are ultimately offending one group.

Also, as for the whole "There's more 360's in NA than PS3", I think that will soon be negligible if this is any indication of the new trend in PS3 sales. I wouldn't be surprised that the Christmas season sees more PS3s sold than 360s in North America, especially given the big amounts of releases in the beginning of 2010 (though I suspect many will be available on both).

To make more profit than they do on the Xbox 360 would mean they would need to hike the price on PS3 games to the point that they can sell millions less and still make more money. So basically that's just them ripping you off for owning a different console and you should probably focus more on complaining about that than about multiplatform releases being adjusted to suit both consoles. That's something I would complain about! Is this true, though? Because that's pretty harsh on customers.

Jesus the way you lot go on you should be politicians!

The basic facts are:

1. We were lied to
2. FF13 will be downgraded so it can do both platforms.

I think I'm on to something here.

Knowing Square-Enix...

Thats why I need to find that article, cause I know both systems games cost the same.

Analysis: PS3 selling more games than Xbox 360 with smaller install base - GAMER.BLORGE

PS3 turning the corner by becoming EA’s top seller? - GAMER.BLORGE

PS3 did it again for EA this year so far as well:

Of course Activision is an exception, with Call of Duty and Guitar Hero performing a little better on 360. But that's probably about to change w/ recent trends in the market (which is something us, as gamers, shouldn't have to worry ourselves about and discuss in forums, unfortunately we have to because in the console war, PS3-bashing always turns to the dead end of sales which are increasingly in the ps3's favor anyway.)
