Wow, I wake up this morning to Chaos and Maddness.
To Reborn Fandom:I'm glad you two,
seki_yumizu and
crazy_izumi decided to stand up for Naka and post on the community. That took some courage and bravery.
Sorry for going to bed early (well it was 1am XD ) else I wish I could have been with you two sigh...
Video Game World News:Okies, they announced last night that
FF13 will also be on XBOX360. I'm sure a lot of you guys know this. And I know a lot of you will go, "So what?" This is actually quite a HUGE deal. There's already a war in 2chan boards over this, with the Sony Loyalists against the fans.
So why IS this a big deal?Because it's destroying PS3's market, and XBOX360 is slowly winning the console war.
Most non-game fanatics wouldn't care. If there is no console war, then there will be just one console for all the games, isn't that great? No. It'll be a monopoly. The console war is what's keeping the prices down. And the companies are scrounging up money to try to buy games that'll be exclusive to their console.
Normal people buy game consoles due what games the consoles offer. PS3's best selling games are Metal Gear Solid4, and possibly the Final Fantasy series etc etc. The fact that FF decided to sell their newest game also to Xbox360, means they betrayed their trust and loyalty to PS.... basically they sold out. Kinda like a best friend cheating on you or backstabbing you.
So now there's LESS reason for people to buy PS3. More people might buy Xbox360. It's big of a news that there's wars in 2chan and wars between game otakus right now. The Sony-fans are very disappointed in Square for selling out and already making spoofs.
"So WHAT?" You still say? Well, supposedly, according to people I'm talking to, it's big enough of a news to change the future of game consoles. As much as you may not like FF series (if there are any of you out there) no one can deny the popularity of the FF series around the world.
To be sure, I'm no expert or enough of a game otaku to know everything what's going on... mostly it's things I've heard being said around me, and a lot of it being read here and there... as well as things told by me from my boyfriend who works for the SONY Corporation ^^;
