Wada Tries To Clarify Stance On Xbox 360 Final Fantasy Versus XIII
CEO says Square Enix "looking into" Xbox 360 version, then regrets.
"These fanboys bore me so."
Square Enix CEO Yoichi Wada has clarified his stance about the possibility of Final Fantasy Versus XIII on Xbox 360, after comments saying the publisher was "looking into it" generated a wave of fanboy ire.
Following an investors meeting in Tokyo yesterday, the exec was asked whether it would be best to give the Final Fantasy spinoff - long considered a firm PlayStation 3 exclusive - a multiplatform release. Wada replied, "We'll be looking into it internally until right before the formal announcement [of the game]."
Today, Wada used Twitter to fend off the rage that ensued across internet forums and chatrooms alike. "It looks like the 'net is heating up. Versus on Xbox? What I said at the earnings press conference was just that until a formal announcement is made at the announcement time, all points about all titles are not finalized."
So basically, until the game's actually been announced properly, no details should be assumed as 'locked down.' That's not really an assurance that the game won't hit the Xbox 360 in so much as it is a denial that Versus XIII was ever a PS3 exclusive in the first place.

what did it get us to have ff13 on the 360 ? Just bunch of reviews by people who where not Final Fantasy fans and hurt the games. Just say "no" to 360. Square please stick to at least one thing you know how to do right and that is the play station.

@tebian Fanboi much? As a company you want to maximise your profits - that means not cutting off millions of Xbox customers just because you havnt developed for them before.
I actually bought FFXIII for the Xbox, played 100+ hours, and loved it! As did many others. I also own a PS3 and happened to chose the 360 version, but thats moot if youre one of the many Xbox only people.
I dont really see the logic of exclusives from anyone except first party studios these days..
