I think the reason they'd feel cheated is because they'd prefer the X-Box 360 at that point, assuming FF13 was their sole reason for getting a PS3, and nothing else interests them.

Well, sucks to be them.

I'm not whining. I own both consoles so it wouldnt even affect me even if it was completely ripped off Sony's line-up and made a full 360 exclusive.

But I am annoyed that FFXIII is coming to the 360. Microsoft are choking this industry to death as they splash their money about. They have no sportsmanship and all they are trying to do is take what Playstation had. Both the PS3 and 360 are getting harder and harder to distinguish at this point. I am beginning to appreciate the 16-bit days more and more as this generation continues. Back when Sega and Nintendo were duking it out they weren't trying to steal every exclusive the other one had. When one had a hit on its hands the other would try to to outdo the other with a new IP, try to do something new and innovative with the genre. Make their fanbase proud to own their console. Now we see no such thing.

Microsoft have no respect left as far as I'm concerned.

All I care about is that I'll be able to play FF13. I don't give a crap if Microsoft is the source of all evil.

360's owners will never understand the full effect of what Microsoft is doing to this industry. Your all just happy that you now get to play FFXIII.

Only people who own both consoles have their eyes wide open and can see the real picture.

[Kentarou]

I agree. It's much better for the industry to innovate, and surpass their opponent, rather than just take what's on the other's console.

Jesus christ, the person I was talking to wasn't kidding when he said people would be pissed off.

Actually, I could care less. I've been so unsatisfied with recent Final Fantasy games that I don't really want it unless it's just that good. Either way, I'm never going to be inclined to buy a PS3 unless my trusty PS2 gives out, and even still I'd play my PS2 games more anyway. Even if FFXIII wasn't coming to the 360 I'd just borrow my cousin's PS3 and copy of FFXIII and play that. He wouldn't mind, he's too obsessed with Call of Duty 4 on XBL anyway.

Besides, PS3 will probably be the only system that gets the next sequel of Kingdom Hearts.

Furthermore, I don't see why PS3 owners have any right to be upset. I think they just counted their chickens before they hatched.
