FFXIII going the way of Assassin's Creed and Virtua Fighter 5? Can it be? According to Georges Fornay, president of Sony Computer Entertainment France, it just might. In a recent interview with Fronsh newspaper Les Dernières Nouvelles d'Alsace, Fornay discussed the astounding development costs of next-gen games and the effect those costs are having on the PS3's library of exclusive titles.
"The development costs of games have exploded, and it has become more difficult to have exclusives, outside of our own games...
...As far as Final Fantasy XIII goes, I can tell you that the exclusivity is in discussion."
That's not exactly concrete proof, but when you stop to consider that Hironobu Sakaguchi (creator of the Final Fantasy series) has called the 360 an "Excellent development platform" and been heard to say things like "I don't like the PS3's architecture," the idea isn't so far fetched, especially since FFXIII's White Engine is multi-platform. What do you think? If you suddenly had a choice, which console would you want to play it on? Would you still want a PS3 if you don't already have one?

Destructoid is an open discussion community. You don't need to "audition" to post a comment - just speak your mind. We respect differing opinions on the site, so have at it. Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else. Don't bring down gamers or we'll, you know, gently shoot you in the face and stuff you into a flaming mailbox. Each comment is your opportuntity to make this community awesomer. Is that even a word?
Avoiding the banhammer only requires common sense: spamming, trolling, racism, NSFW stuff, and other forms of sucking will not be tolerated. If anyone is griefing please report abuse. Be good. Don't suck!
And Sakaguchi isn't a part of Square-Enix anymore, so what he says doesn't really matter.
And I do want a PS3.
...just not at the moment.
Or more it has started, or shall start, in the near future, relitivly soonish..ish..
Please Square, find it in your heart to save me $200, Ill gladly buy the super deluxe editions that cost more if you do.
Think outside the box.
If I can save 600 bucks and get FF13 on my 360, that would be the greatest thing ever...
because I would buy a PS3 for FF13 and MGS4, and if just one came to 360 I would save the money
That 8-bit dancing seizure monkey is fuckin' saved.
"Now, as far as the issue of exclusivity, I think the fact that negotiations are being made on exclusivity is nothing but assurance that it will happen, honestly. S-E is foolish if they don't continue negotiations for as long as possible in order to get the best deal for themselves that they can. I'm not sure how explaining that exclusivity is under negotiation translates to it losing exclusivity."
Ok I want a new Virtual On done by the original team with online play and Co-oP.
