I was reading over at Gamespy about CES. The guy who wrote the article said he has 5 big events that will happen in 2005. This was one of them, again this is still speculation.



2) A Major Defection Will Occur -- New consoles often result in breakups and new couplings. Longtime Square fans were surprised when the company went to bed with Sony and announced that Final Fantasy would be a PlayStation exclusive. Well, we have a slew of new systems in the works. Though they'll be coming out over the next two years, a big announcement will take place this year, probably at E3 2005. I'm talking enormous -- along the lines of Square taking Final Fantasy back to Nintendo or Rockstar taking Grand Theft Auto to Xbox 2 exclusively.

My sources have given me an idea of who will be leaving who, but I can't really say right now. I'm pretty sure I'd get an easily identifiable weapon through the head. (Perhaps that's a hint.)

Now wouldn't that make things pretty damn interesting... if both were to actually happen then the only thing Sony would have to cling onto would be their Gran Turismo series.

Yes that would drastically hurt Sony.

But I am just not sure if those would really happen... although I think GTA coming to Xbox exclusively would have more chance than Square going to Nintendo, MS would have to offer up a huge chunk of change for Rockstar or whoever owns the rights to actually become an exclusive title.

But yes, if it were actually created from the start for the next Xbox, imagine the possibilities...

I bet Square would love to go to nintendo, they just needed a disk system for the n64 and final fantasy would have still been with them.

but if GTA came exclusively to xbox, then there would be an uprising of angry sony fan-boys

Acutally, its predicted Square-Enix is ready to produce for Xbox. On IGN it's rumored that Final Fantasy XII will be a launch title for Xbox 2. I sure hope that would be true.

although GTA is over-rated.. I can't deny it's market power.. and I would love for rockstar to turn their back on sony and crush their sales.

If anything, the Xbox 2 is just going to have a line-up that blows the others away.

We're talking Microsoft here, they don't like to lose, and they've got the money to ensure that they don't.

You guys are reading only what you want to read. He used FF and GTA as an example. No more then a sentence later he says "My sources have given me an idea of who will be leaving who, but I can't really say right now. I'm pretty sure I'd get an easily identifiable weapon through the head. (Perhaps that's a hint.)"

So in that quote somewhere, a weapon through the head, is the hint to who he thinks is defecting. Take the fanboy reading glasses off fellas!

I doubt that, it would still be the exact same boring formula.

I think I am the only one here to prefer certain games on certain consoles. I mean I prefer playing GTA on my PS2 rather Xbox, rather play Final Fantasy on my PS2 than the Nintendo titles. Meh, I will buy all 3 over time so either way im not bothered.

Oh, I think if anything, GTA should go to the Xbox, but Final Fantasy should stay with Sony.

But its not even speculation if you actually read the thing.

Since I am a former ps2 'fan-boy' as you call them, I dont know how I'd feel having GTA exclusively for the XBOX, even thought I am a XBOX follower now, I still love my ps2, and those long days and nights sitting with GTA3, Vice City and San Andreas are close to my heart. I know a lot of you think the GTA series is bland and perhaps boring, but for PS2 fans, its their gem, it used to be mine. However it is an exciting rumour none the same. Hobbs.

I'm a fan boy.... but I'm not a PS2 fanboy, or a xbox fanboy..

I'm a fanboy of whichever system is going to provide the better game experience. Which to me means if a game comes out on Console A and Console B .. which ever system it looks best on.

The only difference between multiplatform games is the looks.

So I'd be happy for any game to become exclusive to which ever is the better system at the time, because I'm gonna own that system, and that means all the resouces the company has to make the game are going towards making the game the very best it can be on the system.

I hope this is true, because them its pretty much pointless to buy a PS2/3 if the xbox gets the best title on it.

If Sony turns out to be as powerful as rumored, wouldn't it make sense for Tecmo/Team Ninja to go over to PS3 next go-around. I bought Ninja Gaiden for the XBOX, but I can't say I would buy it again due to the difficulty and my limited playing time. If they went to PS3 I'm guessing they could sell twice as many copies.

Maybe Team Ninja is sticking with Xbox because despite what the morons at EA say, Xbox 2 will be more powerful then PS3.

I hope you are correct, in the sense that XBOX 2 will hopefully be a really big improvement over the XBOX and that it will equal or exceed the PS3.

GTA coming to Xbox 2......don't need that.
