That's my best guess.

Just posted to Major Nelson's twitter from the Microsoft E3 keynote:
"Last year, our third-party game sales outpaced the Wii, and the PlayStation 3 combined"

I didn't see it coming either. I'm happy, though. I'll probably get the PS3 version...just cuz. It does have a better graphics engine than the 360. But wow.....good news for 360 fans and TERRIBLE news for the PS3 fans.

Ya there is nothing wrong with it that is why Nintendo is fixing it after a year. Geez.
This was my main concern when the wii was first rumored years ago. I knew the IR wasn't going to cut it and from the first minute I got my Wii I was disappointed I was right.
This add on reminds me when they came out with the GameBoy Advance with no rechargeable battery, backlighting and it was friggin huge. The under 2 years later Nintendo released the much smaller GBAsp that corrected all those problems. You can bet that a HUGE number of GBA owners sold their old one and got the SP just so they could use it at night. For that money I could have got a PSP. It also pissed me off because it wasn't like backlite LCD's and recharable batteries were invened after the GBA came it. It was just another case of Nintendo being cheap and wanting to make as much money as they could by offering as little as they could as GoMac and team would be first in line to drop another $150 when they fixed all the faults.
The N64 also shipped with a video memory expansion slot as they knew from the start that it wouldn't be enough. They also put a port on the bottom for the canceled DD device as they knew again storage would be a major issue in the near future.
The SNES also had a port on the bottom for the canceled CD drive to help with storage again.
Lets count the months until a Wii HD is annouced.
The PS1, 2 and 3 all planned ahead with storage as did the Xbox.
People bitch about a PS3 or 360 controller costing $50 but I am dying to know what a Wiimote: $45 + Nunchuck: $25 + "ENHANCED Motion add on": ? end up costing. Close to $100 a remote for a "Cheap casual gamer controller".
They better bundle it for free with every damn game or make all future wiimotes have it built in.

FFXIII was one of the main reasons I justified a PS3 purchase. I don't know if I can keep it around as simply a BD player (especially since I only own 1 BD). I'm not a MGS fan, so I can't think of any other big exclusives that could really make me want to keep the PS3. Which sucks because I actually like the hardware a lot...

Why is it "Terrible news" for PS3 fans? It is still coming out for PS3. If anything the sony exects might be upset but they probibly had the chance to pay for an exclusive and didn't want to.
Unless exclusive bragging rights is that big of a plus for PS3 fans I don't see why they should care.
My only concern is that they shitty down the game to make it easier on the 360 CPU or storage.

I have a ton of BR discs. I'll keep my PS3, I'm happy with it, but holy CRAP.
I just thought for sure they'd bang out one more FF for the PS and then move to multiple consoles for XIV. But wow....didn't see this coming.
Smart move, though.

^^ That's why I'll probably stick with getting the PS3 version.
I think it's bad for people that were waiting for FF XIII to be released before getting a PS3.
XIII. Heh....

While I haven't played a Final Fantasy game ever -not the kind of game I like-, I think that this could be a smart movement… from SONY camp. "If" the 360 version is nowise near PS3 quality then people would be getting the feel PS3 is indeed better & more powerful than the XB360, one could argue 'maybe, but to XBOX-camp game is better than no game at all', I hear them but nothing beats '…but it is cooler and better on my PS3, come in and look it !!!', you have drawn a comparison and either you win or you lose. That's more powerful than no comparison at all.

I don't see how. The systems are pretty equal in power. Sure the PS3 has more processing power, but the 360 has more graphics power. They really even out and most games look VERY similar on both systems, with only slight edges going either way depending on the game.
Really the only technical edge the PS3 has are the higher capacity discs and the ability to play Blu-Ray movies. Other than that there's no reason to think the 360 version will be any less than the PS3.

The problem is games created for both systems are usually dumbed down for the 360 and then ported to the PS3.
I have played PS3 games like Drakes Fortune that blow anything on the 360 away.
You can bet the same will happen with FF. They will restrict the game to the amount of data that can fit on one or 2 DVD's, no hard drive cashing and take the rez down a bit just for the 360 and then port it over to the PS3.

I've played Drake's Fortune, and IMO it doesn't blow anything on the 360 away. Yes it's a great looking game, but there are plenty of games on the 360 that look just as good.
And if the PS3 really is that much more powerful, why does GTAIV run in a lower resolution on the PS3 than on the 360???
