I only brought FF up again because Evilomar's statement that Dragon Quest 7 had sold so many copies sounded a bit unrealistic, even if it is the best selling RPG in the history of Japan.
Anyway, I also said this blow was one Sony had known about for some time now. However, this isn't the only blow Sony suffered. Because it took Sony so long to launch the PS3 they ended up losing the exclusivity of a few games.
You can read about it here.
You don't have to apologize, you are entitled to say whatever you want, thus is the point of debate and discussion. I just wanted to remind everyone that this big news and not to sweep it under the rug. And yes Sony's launch has only hurt them. They won't even come close to putting out the number of consoles that they said they would, and now they have no idea when they will even launch in Europe. Manufacturing issues will lend aid to both Nintendo and Microsoft long after Christmas is over. I won't say the writing is on the wall for Sony, but I will say the taggers have picked out their spot and are watching.
