[QUOTE="esoj, post: 206660"] It might be cut-scenes that are taking up a lot of space on the Blu-Ray disc with MGS4, but please answer more specifically how Microsoft will fit nearly 50gb's of data onto one DVD-9 which can hold 9.7gb's? FFXIII is being developed to work well primarily with the PS3's seven SPU's and is of an altogether different programming architecture than the way data is processed on the Xbox 360. The port for Xbox 360 will be a very complex issue and will take far longer than the vocal localisation will take for english speaking countries. I can definitely see FFXIII making it to US, Europe & other english-speaking PAL locales a good 5-6 months before Xbox 360 see anything. Much like Lost Planet was what they call a "timed exclusive" for the Xbox 360 and Unreal Tournament 3 is still for the PS3. I guess we can conjecture either way, time will tell one way or the other. :) [/b][/quote] it seems pretty black and white to me nothing to conjecture about it all. what square enix have said is on the record now it just comes down to if they lie or not. time will time if they lie or not. it could end up in a GTA IV like situation where one version is supposedly ready before the other but they have to wait to finish both versions before release.
