Final Fantasy XIII is Coming to the Xbox 360

In one of the biggest surprises in gaming news in as long as we can remember, Microsoft just announced at the E3 conference in LA that Square Enix’s upcoming blockbuster, Final Fantasy XIII, would be coming to the Xbox 360.

Since being announced over two years ago, Final Fantasy XIII has been listed as a Sony Playstation 3 exclusive. The past five Final Fantasy games have also been Sony exclusives, so it was no surprise that this would be as well. It was seen as a major victory for Sony, who would definitely sell a large number of consoles to hardcore RPG fans for this game alone.

Now that it’s cross-platform, however, many people will doubtlessly stick with their Xbox 360s. It has huge ramifications for the future business of Sony but, more importantly to us, it means that everyone who currently owns an Xbox 360 will be able to play Final Fantasy XIII. Which is pretty exciting stuff. There’s no release date as of yet, but we don’t expect to see it until the middle of 2009 at least.

Agreed.

Thats how I've personally bought anything Sony.

The PSone, PS2, and PSP were all purchases based on the FF Franchise. (And Super Nintendo, but that wasnt sony :P)

Too bad there arent any other gotta have titles on the PS3 that will prompt me to buy one. Other than Blu-Ray and the ability to assist in the fold at home project, the PS3 is now officially on the bottom of the electronics wish list.

Kudos to Square Enix for helping me save $$ :)
