Nomura-san then comments that Versus XIII is ”specifically for the PlayStation 3.” That dampens hope for an Xbox 360 release somewhat.
”Multiplatform is when you start development on a game with the assumption of optimizing for multiple platforms. Porting is something that’s done after you’ve developed a game specifically for a particular platforms,” twittered Nomura-san.
”The debate over porting is decided by the management based off the current market and the costs. All I can say right now as a developer is that Versus is being developed specifically for the PlayStation 3.”
