The multiplatform revolution is here! “Multiplatform” is the most represented platform here, and will probably hold this honor for every subsequent tournament. However, the exclusive-free era hasn’t kicked off just yet; we’ve got handhelds holding down the fort from broth Nintendo and Sony, and 2 each in this transition era. And even though Final Fantasy “left”2It’s still there, of course, just also on Xbox the PS3 is doing surprisingly well for itself. And, is that the PS2 I spy down there? Still, amazingly, not entirely dead.
