The Microsoft Press Conference announced today that Final Fantasy XIII will be coming to the Xbox 360 also. This is a major announcement since the Final Fantasy series has been an exclusive franchise for Sony since FFVII. And I’m betting Sony was really banking on Final Fantasy VIII to help sell the PS3 even more.
I wonder what’s left in Sony’s sleeve for their conference tomorrow. Is the age of 3rd party exclusives over? I’m still happy with my purchase of the PS3 since my 360 is at the repair center because the console kept on overheating when I play GTA4, Lost Odyssey, and Ninja Gaiden II.
So far the 360 noteworthy exclusives IMO:
Gears of War 2
Saints Row 2
Fable 2 (Looking forward to this one)
Splinter Cell: Conviction (Can’t wait)
Halo Wars
Alan Wake
PS3 noteworthy exclusives coming soon:
God of War III
Heavy Rain (Loved Indigo Prophecy)
LittleBigPlanet
GT 5
Killzone 2
Socom 4
Resistance 2
I say now that even though Final Fantasy isn’t an exclusive no more, it doesn’t mean that Sony is dead yet. They still got plenty of exclusives left to keep me interested in their platform.
And I can’t wait to get my 360 back from repairs. Hopefully it won’t overheat again so that I can finally finish Ninja Gaiden II (Too bad Itagaki and Tecmo are mortal enemies now) =P
