    Sounds good to me. I enjoyed FF XIII - 2 and am hoping this is legit. My guess for no Xbox was that it didn't sell nearly anything on the 360. The 360 is not the place for a Final Fantasy game. It doesn't have the right demographic in it's user base for Final Fantasy to be a big seller

    how bout looking that stat up first, buddy. everything sells better on the XBOX, including FFXIII. whatever you think you know about the demographic playing 360, you don't. this game will FAIL beyond failing if its only on sony's next overpriced console and nintendo's next underpowered one. recaptcha: Rynboo Kingdom

    im pretty sure that FFXIII sold better on the PS3

    I don't usually like to cry fanboy, but you're just making it too easy.

    Maybe in North America, the Xbox 360 is king, but in Europe and Japan, not so much. The Playstation 3 version of Final Fantasy 13 outsold the Xbox 360 version by 300K copies, and that's in America. The games that are better on Xbox 360 than the Playstation 3 (Elder's Scroll 5: Skyrim for instance) are few and far between, and that's only because of technical issues (except for Skyrim getting Move support). See? Don't make these kinds of conclusions without doing some research, and I mean REAL research.

    I dunno man, i feel like Xbox isn't for JRPG's although that might just be my random opinion. and the fact that it doesn't sell in Japan probably had to do with them dropping development for the 360. and check the Wikipedia article, it says it sold a lot more on PS3. "By April of the same year, American game sales for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 reached an estimated 800,000 and 500,000 units respectively." Did you look that stat up? or just spitting that out there because you think it's true? and the game probably won't sell too well either way, Final Fantasy has lost it's footing and may never regain it.

    Well you will be wrong there. It will not fail if it goes on wii and ps3. I was doing research about final fantasy 13 and 13-2 sales on xbox and ps3. Final Fantasy 13-2 sold thousands and by thousands i mean over several hundred thousand better on ps3 than xbox and final fantasy 13 sold thousands more on ps3 again than xbox Final Fantasy 13 Sales Ps3: 828,200 Xbox 360:494,300 Final Fantasy 13-2 Sales PS3: 798,000 Xbox 360: 13,000 Not looking good on xbox Here are links to them Final Fantasy 13 sales: http://www.vg247.com/2010/04/15/npd-march-2010-raw-data/ Final Fantasy 13-2 Sales: http://www.rpgsite.net/news/1496-final-fantasy-xiii2-sells-350k-first-month-in-the-us

    Considering how shit the last six or so Final Fantasy games were, I don't think people are going to be too upset over this.

  • samsneeze - May 31, 2012 11:22 a.m.

    Or rather they shouldn't be.

  • Thedigitalg - June 1, 2012 11:15 a.m.

    cool opinion bro, thanks for sharing.

  • samsneeze - June 1, 2012 1:28 p.m.

    You're welcome.

    I'm pretty sure FFXII was an action-RPG as well.

  • lordgodalming - May 31, 2012 9:53 a.m.

    I wish I had put money on VersusXIII becoming XV. It makes too much sense NOT to give such a huge game its own number. The same thing happened with FFIX--it wasn't originally a numbered FF. Anyway, giving it a number means they'll actually finish it. :D Freaking stoked.

  • Errrrbo - May 31, 2012 9:42 a.m.

    Or maybe, just maybe, someone took some old Final Fantasy Versus XIII footage and slapped editted on a Final Fantasy XV logo.

  • cgkyou - May 31, 2012 9:29 a.m.

    Does this mean the Wii-U will be the better looking/ running version?

  • cgkyou - May 31, 2012 9:29 a.m.

    Does this mean the better looking version will be on the Wii-U?

  • DexteraXII - May 31, 2012 9:03 a.m.

    As long as it's not another MMO, I'll be happy.

  • DexteraXII - May 31, 2012 9:05 a.m.

    I'm sorry, I mean as long as Final Fantasy XV isn't an MMO, I'll be happy.

  • KnowYourPokemon - May 31, 2012 9:02 a.m.

    Sweet, could this mean an actual title to look forward to outside of Nintendo franchises for the WiiU's launch? Hope so!

  • bboyd - May 31, 2012 8:55 a.m.

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but FFVXIII was never confirmed for 360 anyway and was, until now (if this is true), a PS3 exclusive. Anyway, one can only hope this information is true. Versus XIII is such a stupid name.

  • Cloudiology - May 31, 2012 8:28 a.m.

    this is great news. it really really is!
