1) Has a main series FF ever been on a system that's not been market leader? No. So I don't see how you can really prove this... Also, games like Final Fantasy MAKE install bases...
2) Pressure? It's Squares damn fault for taking so long... They have the option of getting assistance from PS3 dev's that know what they're doing and have shown they know how to handle the system. [Naughty Dog and Inzomniac in particular...
3) You're getting Dragon Quest X and Tales of Graces... the PS3 has had NOTHING up to now.
4&5) Meh, not sure what to say for these two since I don't really follow much Wii info.
EDIT: I'd like to add to my number one...
How the hell is this risky?? The game is selling for 90$ in Japan, which is in-line with past FF's...
90$!!! In the country where it's being made. The country where Shipment/Packaging expenses will be the lowest. They're making 50$ per game AT LEAST with that price tag. If they sell 1 million that's 50Million dollars in return... from the PS3's japan sales alone. Most people here without a doubt believe that the game would sell around 1.5M or more first week....
Main Final Fantasy and Dragon Quests are MONEY PRINTERS.
