I stick with sony, cause its got the Gran Turismo series(should the dang game actually ever come out )

Otherwise, i actually dislike the shape of the 360 controler. 

Exclusives are nice for specific consoles, but its realistically annoying.

I'm also biased against microsoft because they eventually will become the bane of the gaming world.  By capitalizing and trying to control every market (PC and console), they eventually will own everything, and console gaming and computer gaming will eventually merge into a single market, specially if the market of both are basically controlled and owned by a single company.

I like the fact we have options atm, and i fear that eventually we will have none.  So trash talk all you want on the PS3, its still a physically more capable system (and which is why Microshaft is in the works of a brand new system, omg LOLOLOL YOU"LL HAVE TO SHELL OUT MORE MONEY THAN A PS3 WHEN IT COMES!)

It'll get to a point when that system comes out, that people are going to compare and make fun of the new xbox, simply because they can.  what will you do then?

Ummmm actually it does have an affect on us consumers.  Exclusives make a company take advantage of whatever a specific console has to offer, once you port it over than you lose what both consoles give and you end up with a lower quality game on two consoles rather than a high quality game on one.  I hope FF stays PS3 exclusive a long with Ace Combat, afterall Ace Combat only went to the 360 since they were rushing it out.

first and third??? 

I always thought the first was a nintendo release then 2 and till the end of time (3) were ps/2 releases (least till the end of time is).

and what I ment by born wasnt that they were only even on the ps systems, but they got their rise to fame from the ps system releases.

There was a GBC sequel to Second Story before TTEOT.

Point is, Squenix (and by extension Tri-Ace) doesn't have any particularly special relationship with Sony. They make their games for whichever systems they feel suit them and will be most profitable; just because a particular series was on one brand of console at one point in its history is no guarantee that it will (or should) continue to be that way.

lol qft.

but as i said before, as long as it sticks on the ps3 im fine with it going cross console, its when stuff starts going exclusively to consoles where they do not belong that it starts getting me mad.

it's like how would 360 owners like it if Halo 4 (if there ever is one) was exclusively for the ps3, i'd bet they would be as po'ed as the jrpg fans.

before the xbox came along developers only had 2 major consoles to develop for; ps2 and game cube. 

rpgs games almost always ended up on the ps2, fps' as well were a majority of the catalog while the Gamecube was mainly a mix of fps and action adventure games.

but then we added in the xbox in 2001 or 2002 ment that now developers had a new system to work on.  Now, most of the games released last gen were cross console, but some were not.

a general pecking order was established as far as what consumers playing on an xbox would play, which is mainly fps' and a few fighting games.

so, fast forward to now.  developers think that since the xbox has had no rpgs and that the ps seires has had next to no fps games that they should flood the two with those kind of games.

and all I am saying is that its going to back fire, ps2 owners want rpgs for the ps3, xbox fans want fps' and maybe rpgs on the 360, its all screwed up, even more so with MS dishing out the dough to make games xbox exclusive that should have been released on the ps3/2 in the first place.

partially answered above.

the ps series have been rpg juggernaughts since their inseption.  Final Fantasy, some of the Tales games, legend of legaia, legend of dragoon, chrono cross, digital devil saga, magna carta, shadow hearts, and about 400 other rpgs that I wont go into.

that is where the ps3's butter zone is, its not because it cant compete, it's that there are outside influences other then supply and demand that are holding it back.

As was said earlier in the topic, as each game comes out, developers will get better and accessing the graphics power of the ps3 or the wii or the 360, but if certain companies are snatching games that could push the envolope on the ps3 away from the ps3, thats never going to happen.

So true...

Sorry, but that's Sony PR, technically the 360 GPU blows the PS3 GPU, read their specs and you'll see (the 360 GPU is really good).

the problem is with Microsoft, they dont just expand, they expand and dominate by any means nessissary.

this is what i was trying to get at with some of my posts.  MS might get more and more aggressive about buying out games for the xbox series, which could eventually (talking MANY years down the line, more then seven to thirteen) throw Nintendo and Sony out of the gaming industry.

That's how they got to where they are now, they used strong arm tactics to push compitition out of business to assimalate or destroy (google Microsoft Vs Netscape for a good example of this).

dollar for dollar Ms has more money then Sony and Nintendo can deal with combined.

thats just my worries about all this anyway, or my paranoia if you will.
