FFXIII ps3 exclusive :(

[Yuna]

(...)Getting a bit specific on the Versus project, Nomura continued, "It seems that the Versus team was, from the start, trying to get the full specifications out of the PS3, and that takes time. Just the other day, during a Versus meeting, a programmer asked, 'Is it okay to program with PS3 exclusivity in mind?'." I asked why, and he said, 'If we port it to other hardware, we have to program with that in mind.' I responded, 'Of course, Versus is PS3 exclusive.'"

While Nomura admitted that Versus will still take a bit more time, he let slip a big hint on the final shape of the game: Versus may have airships and a world map.

well that sucks cuz I'm getting 360 for xmas, is Versus going to be online only like XI though??

[matt1912]

no its not going to be online.

and wasnt it obvious it was going to be ps3 exclusive XD

[daquino]

my opnion about that: "why ps3 is so f***ing expensive in my country?"
hehe serious... we pay around 3 times more... anyway, one day (about 2010 I guess) I'll be able to play FFXIII

[Yuna]

treu, where I live the ps3 is unspeakable expensive to. That's the only reason for me not to buy it. I'd rather wait another year ;)

[matt1912]

i believe england has the most expensive consoles and games there are in the world

[daquino]

I doubt on that... a little financial calculus ;p
R$ 1,00 = $ 2,00
one "Real" equal three "Dollars" (Real is the currency in Brasil, by the way)

PS3 USA = $ 300,00 (I don't know the exact price, but goes around that I guess)
PS3 BRA = R$ 3000,00 (it should be R$ 600 right? but not in the third world)

now the important part:
minimum salary in Brasil: R$ 300,00

now you see... as a webdesigner, I would earn... I don't know... maybe around $3000,00 a month... here I make R$ 800 - 1000,00 /monthly (how much do you get in europe? anybody knows?)

let's say that, to earn as much as me, you have to gain 380€

that means, to get a PS3 in Brazil I have to be rich (not TOO rich, but at least more than middle-class)

by the way, how much costs the PS3 in europe?

[matt1912]

england it cost 425 pounds or did when i bought one

[legend]

Yes i'm in England. MONEY everyones in love with it these days lol

Spare me. Everyone in my forum all started a little bitch fight on this topic, FFXIII is being released on XBOX360, and PS3. They confirmed both of these at the same time even.
Just to remind everyone FF didn't start on the Playstation platform, it actually started on the nintendo.
