PS3 release cancelled?

[Elexia]

What that means for PS3 is grim, and yet people seem to think it's coming soon.

No it doesn't and I wish people would really stop all of this doom and gloom. People also believe SE isn't a multi billion dollar (yen) company.

Let's break it down.

1) FFXIV forced SE to take a massive loss this year.
2) Launching FFXIV for PS3 costs more money
3) FFXIV is still losing money for SE every month
4) SE is working to improve SE for PC
5) SE did not report that they are planning to release on PS3 within the next fiscal year.

#1. Incorrect. The earthquake/tsunami forced every business to take a loss, not to mention the electrical issue hurts productivity as well.

#2. Incorrect, FFXIV is already launched and it's a cross platform title, therefore the only money spent would be pressing the PS3 disks and even then it could be offered as a DL over PSN.

#3. Doesn't hurt the PS3 version in any way, because the money loss on XIV is heavily outweighed by the money FFXI alone pulls in.

#4. Not sure what this means but it has nothing to do with PS3 version.

#5. SE did report they're ready to release the PS3 version when they feel XIV is ready to be "relaunched."

PS3 base coding IS finished, that was announced a while back, months ago

all they gotta do now is update everything they are doing for the first ps3 patch when you install the game and they are set for its launch.

Start of the fiscal year so yes technically still highly possible release in 2011.

Even A Quick Mention and teaser Video would be nice

It's nice that people can remain optimistic.

I'm certainly enjoying FFXIV and looking forward to the upcoming changes.

However, I still have to ask -

Why do you all think these things? People are saying the code for PS3 is finished. It may have been at one point, but that may not apply now. Updating according to the changes taking place might not be a simple task. Plus, it might not even be a development issue. Sony may not want it after all that's happened.

People have all sorts of guesses as to when the PS3 version will launch, but I have no idea upon what basis they make those estimates.

After 7 months AND the game being free the whole time there is only 20-30k people playing. If SE wasnt planning on releasing a PS3 version this game would already be scrapped.

SE told us they don't know when they are going to release PS3 version. They didn't announce it in projections. This supports that they don't know.

That is all it means.
