My Two Cents: Square Enix, Your a Bitch and Yet I Still Love You!

Square you bitch! You motherfucking bitch!!! You go off to a slag like the Xbox 360 and take our kid over to see them?

Well...that must be what the Sony fanboys are thinking of right now if you wanna put into that context.

It comes after the best kept and biggest secret gaming was finally told to the world last night at Microsoft's E3 Press Conference. While there were rumors and projects leaking out of Microsoft left, right
and centre, this was one which they managed to successfully hold onto until gotime and of all the rumors which could have leaked, they couldn't have got ahold of this.

And that is why it was so successful in surprising every gamer on the planet, wherever that being a sad Sony gamer losing their biggest exclusive of 2009, a 360 gamer who was jumping up in down after realising he can now spend the money he was saving for a PS3 on a HDTV or a neutral who was astonished at what happened before him.

Yes...of course...I am referring to...Final Fantasy XIII finally going to the Xbox 360 on the same date and day it launches on the PlayStation 3 next year.

With all due respect to Sony and the fantastic start to the year they have had so far with Metal Gear Solid 4, Gran Turismo 5: Prologue and Grand Theft Auto IV among a couple to name, this really was a big fat cock up of the worst kind. They said that FFXIII was exclusive to the console and it has been until last night so why didnt Sony lock down the exclusivity of the game?

And as for Microsoft you can help but wonder, after the $50 Million they paid for in DLC for Grand Theft Auto IV, how much they paid Square Enix for this little coup de twae, it could be roughly in the estimates of $100 - $150 Million (Based on how much the game's exclusivity would be)

Finally, the main culprit, Square Enix. While many of the Xbox 360 owner's would love to go to Japan right now and praise SE for doing this, many PS3 owners are cursing them under their breath (Despite the fact that Final Fantasy XIII stays exclusive in Japan while Versus XIII stays exclusive altogeher to the PlayStation 3)

As a gamer, I think we had a win-win situation last night. Anybody who own's a PS3 and Xbox 360 are the main winners here. So, Sony lost the exclusivity, that was a big cock up the jaw but at least they still get to keep the game.

I was personally ecstatic when I seen it last night, I was shaking and nearly cried tears of happyness last night (Despite the fact I own a PS3), it was such a great joy to see.

Overall, if your a PS3 or 360 owner, please stop bitching about Sony getting owned or Square Enix must die for giving the game to the Xbox 360. For anybody who has a 360 or PS3, everyone has won.
