So at the very end of their E3 2008 conference, Microsoft and Square Enix dropped a bomb on the Sony fanbase - an unforseen MEGATON! That bomb was Final Fantasy XIII for the 360. But you wouldn't be reading this if you didn't know that.

I'm torn. I'm a little upset not because I'm a Sony fanboy (god no) but because this means Square Enix can't keep their word. It's not about the exclusivity so much as they said repeatedly that DS/Wii/PS3 were their main platforms, and game after game is being announced for the 360. They're not really trustworthy after all when it comes to their direction for the future.

On the other hand I'm delighted that the game is coming to the 360 - it means I don't have to buy a PS3. I was going to get a 360 for Star Ocean 4, Tales of Vesperia, Infinite Undiscovery and more but FFXIII is just icing on the cake. From a financial standpoint it didn't make much sense to keep it PS3 exclusive.

But I do feel a little bad for Sony and the Sony fanboys. It's like the Nintendo burn with FFVII all over again.
