With the blockbuster announcement that Final Fantasy XIII will be appearing on the Xbox 360 as well as the PS3, Microsoft took a few minutes to crow about their newfound conquered territory…namely PlayStation games.
At the packed LA Convention Center this morning, Don Mattrick, head of Microsoft’s interactive entertainment business division, said:
"[Final Fantasy XIII] is another astonishing addition to our array of RPG titles.
"It shows that a long list of former PlayStation franchises are now finding a new home on 360. It’s happened with Guitar Hero, it’s happened with Madden and now it’s happening with Resident Evil and Final Fantasy.
"Xbox 360 is now feeding the experience of fierce gaming loyalists whilst walking everyone into interactive entertainment. What do today’s announcements mean for you? With Xbox 360, there is no better way to deliver fun and entertainment to you living room."
Sony, which has found new life in its PS3 with recent price reductions and better games being released, must be listening to what Microsoft is saying as another big title has left the realm of SonyLand for Microsoft Meadows.
Does Sony have anything to worry about? Probably not, but it is something that won’t go unnoticed by the brass at Sony.
