Since the overwhelming majority have voted for PC and Xbox 360, imho let's get an exclusive release for Microsoft driven product lines.  This has proven to be highly successful for some of the best and highest quality games out there.  i.e. Halo series, Gears of War series, and the Exclusive release of the new Final Fantasy XIII on Xbox 360 before Playstation 3. (This is a major change since Final Fantasy as only been released on Sony consoles.) 

Another reason for this suggestion is the quality of the multiplayer experience via Xbox 360 and PC.  The user interface and social networks are second to none, again, imho Smiley

Uhh what have you been smoking?
Final Fantasy XIII is being released simultaniously on 360 and PS3 in America and Europe.

360 has nothing on PC when it comes to multi-player experience.
And the 'windows' games are all ports from 360 to PC which fail, and most people only play em to see what the hype is.

There are far better 'producers/studios' than microsoft when it comes to PC games, that won't limit multi-console deals to just PC & 360. If they do multi-console there best bet at making money is the 3-Main consoles & PC.

My point about multiplayer INCLUDED PC. 360 has a much better multi exp. than PS3. I do apologize for the comment about FF13.  I was relying on old info and hadn't kept up on it.  And who said Microsoft had to produce or be the studio?  I should've worded it differntly, ass my meaning was PC/360 anyway.

And don't forget, my comments were just an opinion, other than the blooper on FF13.

Exclusive to only PC/360 is almost always under microsoft. Bungie owned by ms, the studio that made fable is owned by ms.

360 vs PS3 multi-player is simply debateable... look at M.A.G 128 vs 128 players; Warhawk 16 vs 16, with dedicated servers. killzone 2, resistance 1&2 Same.
All free, no $60 a year just to play any game online... just like pc.
PS3 & PC have far more games with dedicated servers than 360, something game devs are trying to get rid of, even though it is THE best method for hosting.

final fantasy was a nintendo franchise before sony ever considered the PS systems. lets see, 1-6 originally released for nintendo consoles, along with dungeons 1 and 2, and tactics. on PS we have 7-9(the others were ports except chocobo racing), 10-13 on ps2/3 and some more ported to psp. and now theyre being released multi-platform(across nintendo, sony and microsoft). only 7, 8, 9, 10(and 10:2), and 12, and chocobo racing are purely sony releases, most of the rest are nintendos originally, then a few multi-platform. i would hazard you got into the series after 7 was released, as thats a common (mistaken) assumption that they are sony only. 

Back on topic, pc is the natural home of mmorpgs, consoles dont seem to get them right.

Your assumption would be correct, although I am aware (believe it or not) that the first FF games were Nintendo, although I never owned a NES or SuperNES. I just (again) didn't clarify my intent of statement, meaning modern era FF being Sony driven until the upcoming release.  That said, I'm bowing out of this topic...it's going to be cool no matter the platform.  'Nuff said.

I love my pc as with a little fiddling I can get all my old games to run.  And besides the pc hand the wheel of time game a while back and was very fun.  But I like to play on consoles for platform games like ratchet and clank.

Final Fantasy 7: Crisis Core = PsP
Most of the Nintendo ones are also now on the PS1, PsP, Including Tactics. So by that, Sony has more FF games than nintendo, if only because Sony has more that are only on ps/ps2.
Course I'd be lieing since 7-12 are all on PC. Wink

The orginal WoT game sucked donkey.
It was nothing more than a mainstream Quake Mod, Plotwise it made no sense at all.
The Amyrliian is so weak, she has to use ter'angreal to fight? And these ter'angreal magically can create fireballs and balefire? gaah.

we also forgot ff7 before crisis for the mobile, but the point of the post was that sony didnt "start" FF. as for the pc versions, well, theyre exactly the same as the ps ones as far as i can tell, so didnt add them up really.as for psp, hell, i can get mario games and the gameboy back catalogue, but still, heck, you can get ff1-9 on psp anyway.
