"We understand the wrath of players and developers are sorry because they did everything they could to have a simultaneous release date, but unfortunately they have encountered many technical problems on the development of the game for PS3. We strive to release the game as soon as possible.

If possible, we would publish the game sooner, we would like to start as soon as possible the beta on PS3."

They're desperately trying to stretch out the life cycle of the PS3 and 360. The hardware is so ridiculously far behind I'm amazed they have the audacity to dumb down games as much as possible in order to cram them into these consoles. The Wii is not even worth mentioning, that one is in its own lala land with the "casual" gamers.

I'm still raging that they canceled the PC release of FF13 so I'm stuck with it on the Play"wait 10 minutes to load inferior graphics"station 3.

Is it really that big of a deal? The game will suck years of life out of you anyway, so you should feel lucky for the 6 month delay.

Giving PC gamers a head start isn't such a bad thing. They can sort out the bugs and direct you down the most efficient path once you do start playing.
