Here is what I try to translate:

The idea of going multi-plateform started at March 13th when the development team become the laughing stock when they only showen CG footage, only 野村 (sorry I don't know how to find his name in english translation) supported PS3 exclusive in the development team. Maybe versus will multi too (this is under wishfull thinking)

あのな~ お前らムチャクチャ言ってるけど
PS3で開発すんの死ぬほど大変なんだよ
FF13もマルチにしなきゃ発売すら微妙だったのに
FF7なんか作ってる余裕があるわけねーだろ
Here it talks about the deficulting developing FF13 on PS3 and if this goes to exclusive it will not make profit.

Q isn't a lot of effort put into using Cell

A We found out it is a terrible hardware environment to develop

 

Q Since this is developed with PS3 in mind will multi-plateform represent fully?

A Yes, actually FF13 is developed under PC, it is actually easier to convert the game into 360 then PS3 (he also made a small comment if this was 360 exculsive it might even publish sooner)

 

Q Why not just remake FF7 rather then going multi

A We (Square-Enix) benefit more from going multi-plateform, even if we do FF7 it will probably going to be multi as well

 

Q Will the quality be degraded?

A Actually the quality on 360 will most likely be better and it will have more disc

 

We (Square-Enix) are not charity, if this does not make a profit it will make a great deal of trouble for the development team, 和田 (again sorry can't find translation) only made the sensible choise.
