Word to Yer Moms, M$ Came to Drop Bombs!
And they just kept dropping, and dropping. So it looks like Microsoft is trying to continue their trade show dominance by once again blowing away the general press public with not only all the confirmations we were hoping for, but also a big Square-Enix jawdropper with FFXIII.
Yes, Sony fanboys can begin their aria of lament in reaction to this truly logical move by the JRPG giant. From a numbers standpoint it only makes sense for Sq’Enix to multi-platform this upcoming blockbuster for the US release, although there is speculation about the Japanese release oddly enough. It’s been a long time in developement and must be reaching a budget of astronomical numbers. To neglect a 10 million plus user base would be insane, and considering Final Fantasy is one of those major franchises that sells just as well in the West as the East it’s really a no brainer. Let’s hope that FF fans aren’t as bitter as all those Devil May Cry fans were when their franchise played both sides of the fence.
The other big news in my eyes was the Netflix partnership, which just makes perfect sense. The 360 is really starting to solidify that mythical position as the living room one-box that the whole family will center around for all their entertainment needs.
Well I for one am looking forward to the other camps big news, it should be a pretty heated competition for one-ups this year.
