Most consumers have looked up the 360 title, 250k unique hits in fact, over PS3’s 120k. Final Fantasy has always been a ”huge draw for Sony”.
”The Final Fantasy series has always been a huge draw for Sony, since its debut on the PlayStation in the form of Final Fantasy VII,” said MyVoucherCodes managing director Mark Pearson, reports CVG.
”For Microsoft to now be sharing and in fact beating the interest for the PS3 version must be worrying Sony chiefs, who must be wondering just how to steal the march back, if it is at all possible.” Sony tends to pull the Blu-ray card when this happens.
”Our Christmas sales data showed that Xbox 360s were outselling PlayStation 3s three to one in the holiday period, a fact which seems to be presenting itself here as consumers show more interest in the Xbox 360 title.”
Square Enix could careless which sells better as it’s a win-win for them. Personally I would have to advocate the PS3 version myself as there will be less compression thanks to the Blu-ray disc’s capacity, and only one of them unlike Xbox 360’s three.
Final Fantasy XIII releases on Xbox 360 and PS3 March 9th in Europe. Do you have a preference for a title like this? Do multiple discs not bother you?
