Ah, fair enough. I had assumed that meant for future titles using the engine, considering Sony apparently had a publishing deal regarding UT3, and the article mentions there's still no release date for the 360 version, so I guess it's just a waiting game to see what gets published and when.
Yes, it's currently expensive, and that's fine if you don't want to buy one, but ultimately this delay is nothing to do with its lack of popularity or high price, rather everything to do with getting the engine up to speed on the PS3. It's still coming out before the 360 version, even if that is only to do with the 360 needing extra time to support mods, so it's not like they're leaving the PS3 version until last; if they thought no-one owned a PS3, they wouldn't be making a PS3 version at all.
I wonder if this lends any support to Silicon Knight's claims that the engine wasn't ready for them, and that the PS3 engine build was also way off target when they licensed it.
It seems they're still aiming for a December release, but as a public company need to inform shareholders if they may miss that target. On the plus side, they've managed to get every map from the PC version working on the PS3, contrary to their earlier statements.
From the article: "one fairly affluent community scored low for illicit drugs except for cocaine. Given the subject matter, it might be a fairly effluent community...
You kinda fail at timelines. That one's old news, and still nothing official has actually come from those discussions. It's a fairly giant leap to go from the game's exclusivity being under negotations with Sony and Square Enix, to it being "100% confirmed" that it's multiplatform.
No, they really haven't. That is the only site on the entire intarweb that is reporting this "news"; I would not be surprised if all they've done is misread the scans of the interview which stated the series (Fabula Nova Crystallis) as a whole is not exclusive to PS3 and mobile, which we knew already, since there are entries to come. No, FFXIII is still exclusive to PS3 so far, until Square Enix says otherwise - at which point it'll be on more games news sites than just "PS3 Center".
