Social Media fail: LinkedIn profile confirms Final Fantasy XIV for the Xbox
The surprise console news around Final Fantasy XIII was that it would be available on the Xbox 360. This isn’t the case in Japan, where it remains a PS3 exclusive but if you read some Japanese blogs shops can’t even give away the Xbox 360 any more. There are reports that the PS3 is a […]
