However, the Square Enix executive concluded: "There's not just one formula for success. But with Final Fantasy, the aim is to have as many people enjoy it as possible, so this is the form our marketing has taken."

 

Great, Square, that's the spirit. Now, release Star Ocean 4 and Infinite Undiscovery for the PS3, after all, more people would enjoy it. It's you aim, isn't it?

 

Well...isn't IU funded by MS? I don't think that'll go. I'm not sure any of them go because they're not developed in-house (SE just publishes/markets tri-Ace games) unless SE convince them that releasing them (maybe just SO4 because like I said, MS is funded IU I think) that releasing them on both is most logical.

The only reason SO4 is on the 360 is because at the time there were dev kit for the 360 and not the PS3. SO4 is bound to have a PS3 port sooner ot later since while the series has a decently sized fanbase in the US, it should also be known that the SO series also does pretty well in Japan and the 360's presence is virtually nonexistant in Japan.
