ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!! your still getting it, so get over it.
If the sole reason you bought a PS3 is because of the "Exclusivity" of FFXIII then go play MGS4, watch a Planet Earth on Blue Ray or just kick yourself in the nads for not waiting until it was closer to release time. Seriously, you knew it (the PS3) would have been cheaper by then, and there was always a chance of this announcement anyway. There is no need to sign a petition to show the world what a complete moron you are.
And 360 fan boys can stop rubbing it in, unless you work for Microsoft all your getting is another sweet looking game to play. A couple woohoo's should be sufficient celebration.
oh yeah, wooohooo! now if MS could send some money hats to Konami, then i'd have a lot less begging to do to my wife this holiday season.
Shaz from Pixel Swish: "The ROG Xbox Ally is another step towards Team Xbox’s 'Play Anywhere' strategy, and perfectly embodies the company’s future and how we’re all going to be playing an 'Xbox' in the future."
The funny thing about Xbox going more PC-like is that I’ve been saying this for over a decade and finally seeing it come to fruition. People use to hate the idea, but now are embracing it, and all I want is to be put on the payroll lol.
On a serious note, I think this is the best route going forward for MS. They don’t have to get out of the hardware game altogether. They can make their home console $300 entry & $600 premium home consoles and from there partner with other hardware makers for anything beyond that. Focus on being a publisher and creating a strong OS / Cloud option for other devices like desktop, handheld PCs, streaming devices, etc…
I honestly think they should also look into NVIDIA as well, with NVIDIA starting to make their own CPUs. Their CPU is already on par with AMDs best laptop CPUs of the previous/current generation which is more than enough, and a RTX 5000 / 6000 laptop GPU hybrid (DLSS 4 / DLSS5) could do wonders for them, and bring some much needed diversity back to console hardware.

I saw this years ago. I don't see how it took this long for people actually close to the industry.
I said this years ago, mind you I know nothing about computers, but I always thought Xbox would go more PC-like.
As I said, and always said, I know squat about PCs, so I thought Xbox would become modular. I don’t know if that’s the right word, but I thought they would build a basic frame/shell and gamers would be able to configure their Xbox how they wish, similar to PC and buy motherboards, sound cards and graphic cards. I don’t know if that’s practical or even possible though.
This was when they first entered the gaming space.
"First-person roguelikes like Gunfire Reborn and Roboquest can be quite fun when done well. Another such game is MythForce, which comes from Beamdog, the developer that brought Baldur's Gate 1 and 2 to modern platforms (while mostly ditching the co-op). MythForce features cartoon-like visuals and a fantasy theme, making it quite different from most of its peers. It will soon reach its "final form" via the upcoming Version 1.2 update," says Co-Optimus.
Today, SCS Software officially announced Project Coaches, the next evolution for Euro Truck Simulator 2, adding buses to the game.
I think what people should be celebrating about this announcement is that FFXIII will definately not be cancelled now.
The downsides everyone is complaining about are:
1) That the game will no longer be fully exploiting the PS3 hardware as it would be able to as an exclusive
2) The fact that now Microsoft has by far the most RPGs coming from Square Enix. No one complained about their having Last Remnant, Infinite Unidiscovery as exclusives - they had Final Fantasy. End of.
3) This is going to be a huge blow to PS3 sales in NA and Europe, and a huge boost for 360 sales. People like to support their platform.
Not that I care - I've never really been into JRPGS, but I really think you're missing the point.
You know, the first BluRay movie(s) I will buy when I get my PS3 will be the Planet Earth series.
So Good.
Yup means nothing other than more people have the ability to play this game.
Is 360 getting more JRPGs while Sony still gets the game. Sony will have to step up their game in the JRPG realm in order to compete, which is good. However, Microsoft should be doing that themselves instead of paying for timed exclusives, which is a pathetic monopolistic practice.
I am kind of tired of all this... A true FF fan will buy a PS3 because Versus is still exclusive. I am not a true FF fan and probably wont buy either so this really means near nothing to me. I have disliked all FF's since 7 and don't expect a change anytime soon (Crisis core ain't too bad though. I finished it at least) So from what i understand from the square conf. 360 will get "A version"(Whatever that means) of FF13. They wont start work on it until the PS3 version is released and they are not getting Versus... Me from a "Give a Cr@p" stand point wonders why so many people care. We will have finished it and a year later the 360 will be getting that game while we (PS3 owners) are playing the exclusive versus game... So really who cares? How does this earn MS the #1 spot of E3? They get a Multi plat game way later and probably toned down version... MS = Teh Win
