To: Sony Computer Entertainment

We, the below signed, as investors in the Sony Playstation 3, payers of the wages of Sony employee wages and video game fans, request that Sony Computer Entertainment defend our consumer investment in the Playstation 3 by aggressively maintaining the platform exclusivity of two major third party titles on which relies a great deal of the success of the Playstation 3, and thus, the value of our purchase.

We request that SCE secure the permanent or at least 6+ month timed exclusivity of Square Enix's Final Fantasy XIII and XIII Versus, and Konami's Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots.

Losing these titles exclusivity would harm the Playstation 3, and therefore us, the investors in this platform, both in real terms and would have a dangerous knock on effect on public perception. Sales would likely sharply decline, and certainly fail to rise following their releases, if they were to be released on Microsoft's XBox 360, resulting in decreased viability of the platform, decreased positive public image, and ultimately, fewer games for the console.

We, consumers with loyalty to Sony and respect for the high quality of their products, feel that the defence of our purchase of Playstation 3 consoles should be a responsibility of SCE, and that no further delay should be taken in action to secure these exclusives, financially if necessery.

Regards,

I think you guys can sign on this one.

Stop being idiots for crying out loud.

Business deals don't happen on a nerd based petitions.

Why did you say that?

That's what fans are for. They are there to support their system.

We need this petition to ask Sony to consider their fans' morale and happiness, not just business deal.

Why did you say that?

Because it's the absolute truth.

It's quite unbelievable the lengths some people are going to.

I would really love to see FFXIII and MGS4 on XBOX360. Not to hurt Sony or anything. I just don't have a PS3.

Actually Square is highly considering making FFXIII multi-platform.

This is a better petition than past ones that i have read since it is towards Sony, who is to blame if anyone in my opinion. Making petitions against developers is worthless. I still think the reasoning listed in the petition as far as the game being degraded is retarded.

O Rly? Just because they're in negotiations with Sony at the moment doesn't mean that they're "highly considering" making FFXIII Multi-Platform.

Where does it say in the petition that the game will be degraded?

I don't think you need a petition for this one. Sony is already in talks with SE and Konami most likely.

Honestly I don't get you man. You mean the lengths of the games or the length of the petition?

The game's being optimized for the PS3, unlike the previously discussed exclusives that actually weren't.

No offense to the poster who started this thread. Petitions are stupid.

Mods please lock this.

Thank you.

^my bad... read part of it wrong.

Fats...Square has said that making the game multiplatform would be a wise decision. I guess we don't necessarily know if they are "highly considering" it, but it is definitly still up in the air.

with the tremendous controversy and recent backlash of online petitions in the forum Im going to close this

if people feel strongly on the matter then the choice is theirs, although I think perhaps we should be more interested in video games as an entertainment medium than the success of MS, Sony, or NIN
