A Major Blow to Sony in Japan

[Schultz]

I never understood why it's so big in japan. I've always found it to be boring and stupid. 8 was ok but nothing overly special. Any FF game just beats the crap out of it in all departments except maybe "stupid" humor, which FF obviously has very little of.

BTW the PSP is getting a lot of final fantasy love fairly soon so sony isn't all that screwed in the rpg department. Not to mention 13 will be out in december + Japan loves sony for seemingly no reason and hates M$ for the same reason. I'm actually kinda surprised the 360 hasn't sold better over there. When it launched, sure. But now that some people have the system and can tell people how awesome it is i'd think sales would pick up. I'd definitely want a 360 over a ps3. FF is the only game guaranteeing i'll buy a ps3. MGS and devil may cry are just kinda bonuses for me.

Well whats really funny and Andromida corrected me on this.. Square Enix is doing a weird thing. They are not soly developing for one console they will be making games for Nintendo, Microsoft and Sony. But the games themselves won't be cross console. Like the main FF series is staying on Playstation. the FF:CC will be on nintendo's consoles and not off the top of my head knowing the name i belive they have a game in the works for the 360 platform. So its kinda weird to see there marketing stratagy.
