That would actually be funny, if you hadn't just made an asshurt fanboy response to FF13 and "fairness" in the console wars.

And no, I never said no one could disagree with me nor that I was right all the time.

So when you use your usual "Only a fanboy would believe..." What you really mean is...?

It was not meant to be a serious reaction, but a spoof of how people were reacting to such news (which, personally, I didn't mind it anyway. I don't particularly care as I don't consider myself a fanboy and that).

Which is why you yourself were ranting.

The main issue came because in that interview, the guy was asked about the reason why FF13 is going to be on the 360, and he answered with "we want to have as many people as possible play this game, and that's why we made this decison". But then the guy asked about the possibility of Star Ocean 4 going to the PS3 based on the answer he gave to the previous question, and he suddenly was like "well, certain conditions prevent stuff like THAT. Next question, please?" It was as if he could go one way with that logic, but not the other, and he really didn't want to incriminate himself.

Or, there's logic there that is inconvenient to your fanboyism that you still don't wish to address.

But even then, Microsoft pays more, where's the problem? Are you naive enough to think they're the only ones paying, or hypocritical enough to think that it's only bad when Microsoft does it, or perhaps enough of a fanboy to believe Sony wouldn't do the same given the opportunity?

Thing is, I personally DO think this could backfire on MS seeing as how the PS3 is still on SE's mind when making the game

Which doesn't mean much.

it's stiull a PS3 exclusive in Japan (a country in which the 360 desperately NEEDS help in)

Except they're not going to gain a lot of ground on that, regardless. That's not "backfiring." That's business as usual. And the PS3 is still enough behind that it will take the remainder of the generation just to catch up in overall sales, assuming Sony can maintain their current lead.

They'll be losing with a game they wouldn't have otherwise had in an already lost market. That isn't backfiring, because it's still better than not having it in the first place. Some sales>no sales.

and it could be a chance for Sony could say "this is WHY multiplat titles are better on our system" by slamming even the tinniest reason why the 360 version may not be as good.

So this will backfire because the game might not be as good, leading Sony to market better. Good reasoning.

This is a good chance for them.

Interesting spin. Losing an exclusive is a good chance for them.
